shouldn't the +12 be around 12, etc?

is this about to blow up, or are they erroneous readings? do i need a new PSU?

You need to read the last sticky post in this forum.....it's entitled: How To Read Your Power Supply Voltages Don't trust software readings!

I was only worried because I just did a 12v to 7v fan mod and thought it screwed the voltages up.

Just checked with the fan unplugged and same readings, so I guess I'm good.

Use a meter.
One day motherboard makers will realize that people actually want voltage readings that are accurate and design the boards accordingly. Hasn't happened yet though
