Question about voltage on mobos

[HJB417]

I was curious if my voltage is ok.
I set my cpu voltage to 1.85 and my I/O voltage to 3.3


the computer shows 1.87 for Vcore (cpu voltage) which is cool
3.3V as 3.30V
but here's the funky part
5V as 4.78V
12V as 12.12V

it seems to have shifed to the left by .22V and to the right by .12V
is this OK?
Where does the problem lie? do I need a more powerful PSU?
The mobo is a kt7 raid and all PCI slots are used, there are 2 cdroms and 3 hds w/ a 300W PSU.

A little bit of variation in those numbers is fine. Your voltages are nothing to worry about.

Not sure why you changed (increased) the vcore voltage, unless you are over clocking the cpu. That is "getting up there" as far as voltage goes though. I'd be careful if I were you. As to the other voltages, you won't find many on any boards that are "spot on" as far as the output. As an example, I use an Enermax 350 watt and my vcore is @ 1.74, my 5 volt is @ 4.89 and the +12 volt is @ +12.22. Those do not mean that there is something inherently wrong with the PS. If you had severe stability problems (especially with your components) then as part of the troubleshooting you might take a look at the voltages. But that would just be part of the process. So, I wouldn't worry about things as yet.
However, I will offer an opinion on the overall scheme you have; with all your PCI slots stuffed full, 3 HDD's and 2 CD's, I'd venture that you are pushing the envelope a bit with that 300 watt PS, unless it is a very good quality unit. If it's running fine, don't worry about it (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). But that suckers got to be working overtime.

cool, my computer keeps randomly rebooting and I thought it was the voltage.

I opened the case, and found out the fan on the chipset died =(

do you think abit will send me one for free?
