Power supply voltages; what do they mean?

I have a Tigerpro Power 350w supply that is running @ 3.328v / 4.838v / 12.307v. Everything is working fine, but I was curios as to why the middle voltage isn't running at 5v like it should be. Should I upgrade, or hold on to this until it breaks????
 
Has anyone heard of a tigerpro, it replaced a burnt out lexar 300w, but I just don't know if it's worth the headache to leave it in there. That low voltage is what scares me, what do you guys know about it?
 
well in that case, why aren't you wondering why your 3 or 12v line are running like they should? but anyways, if everything is running fine, then why worry? unless you're in ther process or adding a new component you think will overload the psu. i'd say, don't worry, be happy 🙂

I didn't really worry about the other two because they were higher. I know underpowering can hurt it more, but I was concerned about the PS not being able to provide the minimum of 5v.

This PS just replaced a burnt out lexar which in turn fried because we added the other CD-rom. I just don't want any problems with this "noname" brand.
 
Within 5% spec is ok, so:

12v......min: 11.4v Max:12.6v
5v........min: 4.75v Max: 5.25v
3.3v.....min: 3.14v Max: 3.47v

really it seems like your PSU is doing fine, if you start to have problems then i maybe would consider replacing it.
