Trust voltage in Everest vs. BIOS?

BIOS shows my 12v at 11.97v. Everest shows 11.78v. It's a PCP&C 510SLI, so it has the ability to adjust if needed.

What about the discrepancy though?

edit: forgot to mention, Everest is almost right on with everything else:
CPU-- 1.57v (exactly as BIOS)
5v-- 5.03v (I think exact as BIOS)
3.3v-- 3.26v (Don't remember BIOS)
 
Both are reading the same data from the hardware monitor chip. So if there is a discrepancy, it's in the software or BIOS code. The best way to tell is with a DMM (digital multimeter). The one closest to the meter reading wins!

Don't trust Everest for +12v if it tells you 2.xx volts. Obviously the sytem wouldn't even start. Everest is at this moment telling me my +12v is 2.11. lol

I love Everest, but it has never reported my 12+ line correctly. Crud, I dont even know if the others are correct, but they do reflect similiar figures as Sandra/Probe/cpu-z. Best way is multimeter, but if you dont have then use 3 or 4 utilities (Sandra/MBM/Probe/Everest/PCWizard/whatever) and your BIOS and you will get a good idea of where you are at with voltages 😉
