PSU 12V+ rail

what exactly does it mean when the 12V+ rail is 1 to 2 percent over? like say my 12V+ is 12.160? or in the case of the other person , 12.7 ?
 
it only has 12A on the 12V+ rail though. I'm getting a new PSU with 26A on the 12V+ rail, so I'm just hoping my current PSU doesn't blow up anytime soon. I've had it running stable for the past 6 months, and 2 months with new upgrades.
 
nost manufacturers say that within 5% is good.

more amps is ok, but being over by a bit is not gonna hurt unless it jumps around from .2 under to .7 over Then you have trouble. Stable is better even if it's over or just a tad under.

MBM has a voltage reading that shows a green mark on the meter that you can use to judge. The green range is where you are within the safe limits. Outside the green mark is the trouble zone (it may be a blue zone)
 
ok my 12V+ is 12A and the motherboard monitor says my 12V+ is running at 12.160 What does that say ? and is that ok ? wait a minute, nevermind, i just calculated that figure. It's 1.33 percent , so im good! thank you.
