What are you guys getting on all rails on the Antec 433 True Power?

I just bought the 1080AMG case, and I was wondering if my rails are a bit low, or if maybe they are calibrated just a tiny bit low. Don't get me wrong, they don't seem to fluctuate, and they are well within 3%(within less than 1%), but they are all slightly lower than the line. My 5v stays at about 4.945, 12v at 11.968 and 3.3v at 3.265. Is this the usual, or should I be concerned?

According to speedFan my rails are 3.3V = 3.34 , +5v = 5.05, +12V = 12.16, -12V = -12.20, and -5V = -5.15.

Thats with a XP 2500 OC'ed to 11X200 at 1.7 vcore, 1 7200 RPM WD hard drive, 1 Cathode, 1 CDRW, 1 DVD Rom

Your rail are VERY much in-spec, and in fact it's pretty good!

Mine with the same PSU ( it's a 430 not 433, i think u got a typo there):

+5v: 4.865
+12: 11.673

I suspect that my m/b is not reading it accurately..

When the TruPower's were first introduced, I remember a bunch of threads about low voltage levels. Motherboard Monitor has always reported my levels as low (+5V = 4.89V and +12V = 11.8V.). But, when I used a multimeter to measure the actual output at the 4-pin molexes, the voltage levels were a lot closer to +5 and +12.

My own experience is exactly the same as ^^^ satori's. Since my TruePowers' voltage measures OK with a multimeter I don't worry about what the monitoring apps are telling me.
