True Power 430Watt rail problems!!

i am having bad -12v and -5v rails. They are around -8.99 and -3.23 respectively. I know this is out of the ordinary for TruePower ps's but that is what MBManager is reporting.
Currently My system is stable but could these problems eventually case problems? Also I got this from newegg do i rma to newegg or warranty it to Antec does antec cross ship?
 
but i dont wanna take my system offfline for a 3rd RMA to newegg!!!!!!!!!!!

Would antec cross ship if i used the warranty or would newegg even do it?
 
hmmmm what do the bios read on those rails ??
sometimes the programs don't read that stuff right
how do the other rails look ?
 
yeah they are usually veiwed as secondary as far as importance goes
I don't even know what uses them
maybe the fact that they aren't in use is causing them to have weird voltage readings
presonally i wouldn't worry about it unless i was having problems
maybe e-mail antec and ask them if this is ordinary or what is supposed to happen
 
Your PC prob wouldnt even be stable if that was the true voltages.... what MB is it? My 8K3A wont read thoose rails right either with MBM5. Check the Driver CD that came with your MB and see if it has a program, it may read them correctly.
 
There is funkiness with MBM reading the voltages correctly. I stuck a meter on my TruePower 480 and all the voltages were absolutely spot-on. I mean spot-f*cking-on. Yet, at the same time, MBM5 was showing 4.6-ish and 3.0x-ish for my 5 and 3.3 volt lines, and showing "0" volts for my 12 volt line. Asus probe does a better job at this than MBM5 (at least for my MoBo).

Bottom line: Get a VUmeter and check 'em, if you're worried. Antec says to wait a while for voltages to "burn-in". Might want to be patient and give that a try. Both True Powers I've used (a 480 and 430) have had good voltages right out of the box (as checked with a meter).

My 2 cents.
