Help! I am using mbm5 and was just noticing my voltages. On the
-5v line I only have 1.22!! and on -12v I only have 1.03! At times it dips even lower! What the crap is wrong with my computer? It seems to run stable but those numbers are not even close to normal. All of my other voltages are normal or above. Any help would be great, Thanks!
 
If those readings were correct, you would have problems IMO. If your machine is performing correctly, don't worry. If you want, check your voltages with a good multimeter.
 
MBM needs to be set up for your particular mobo. Go to the website and use the settings they recommend for your mobo.
 
On all 4 motherboards I've had that used monitoring (1 Soyo, 2 Abit, and one ECS), at least one of the voltages always registered as a bit low or a bit high (with the Abit boards I had to manually set the voltage lower than the processor was rated for so that it would read as the proper voltage even in the BIOS monitor). They also all had at least one or two that fluctuated slightly. Never had any problems that I could trace to power issues (and using a high quality, high-output PSU didn't matter).
