My 5V rail is running little below 5V too... no problems here.

Btw, does it mean the PS is crappy when it runs below? Or is it normal?

 

[pillage2001]

May not mean that the PSU is crappy. Just that it's not built to handle that many devices in the system.

Same here And I only have 900mhz Athlon, 2 HD's, 1 CD-Rw and 1 DVD-Rom.
