Epox 8K3A+ and Voltage readings

[MoFunk]

Well I just upgraded to the Eopx 8k3a+ from an 8k7a and I am still trying to grasp the dirrernces in all the readings. This one has me a bit concerned though. My 5volt is reading 2.9 and my -12 is reading -3.30 SHould this cause me to be alarmed? I am runing a 350 watt enermax power supply. You can see a pic of the reading here. Can someone please set my mind at ease, or show me how to fix this. Thank you.

-5v and -12v dont really matter... current motherboards dont use them

but 3v, 5v, and 12v are important

so yeah if your 5v line is only 2.9v then thats not good... but im guessing the utility your using is setup wrong or something
you should go into the bios and check the hardware monitor there, if its showing 2.9v in the bios i would really be suprised.

MoFunk, what does the EPoX USDM program give you?

USDM - Unified System Diagnostic Manager

Thanks guys. I was using a utility that is for an MSI board. I used it with the 8k7a with no problem, but on the 8k3a it reads wrong. I booted into the BIOS and all is well. Everything is right where it should be. Thanks for the link Zim, I will d/l it at home and give it a shot.

Thanks again.
