Measuring 12V voltage

I just got my new OCZ PowerStream 520, which is great, I don't really have to get into the difference between it and my old CompUSA 400w noname. Anyway it lets you adjust the 3.3v, 5.0v, and 12.0v powerlines through adjusters on the back. By tweaking it with the BIOS or uGuru on the screen I got the 3.3v line to bounce between 3.33 and 3.35 and the 5.0 to between 5.05 and 5.08. I wanted to finish the job and do it on the 12v line, but there is no listing for it in the BIOS or uGuru. I was pretty sure that the extra power plug on the motherboard was for 12V power, so the motherboard should be able to read it. Any ideas. I have an Abit AV8 motherboard with the latest BIOS.
 
You could try MBM (MotherBoard Monitor). But IIRC, software voltage readouts are unreliable. Get a voltmeter and measure the voltages yourself.
