How accurate is Sandra in reporting +5v, +12v rails and cpu temp?

Just curious. Bios reports my +5v as being +4.8xv and Sandra always reports it as being +5.13v. Also, how accurate is the temp reporting?

 
Pretty accurate I would say, both temp & voltage. But the probs w/ Sandra is tht it only capture the temp & voltage when u execute "Mainboard Info" module.

Bios on the other hand provides continous reading on both temp & voltage. As there are likely to be a slight fluctuation on the voltage rail, bios will gives u a real time temp & voltage reading over Sandra which give u a one-off reading.
 
You could also try other programs and see which reading is closer. Try motherboard monitor which takes readings at intervals of ur choosing.
