It's not an indication that something's off or degrading with the PSU's? The fact that I get the same readout from two identical units points at a slightly inaccurate motherboard sensor, right?

Hey, Using an MSI Tomahawk X870 + RM850x (2021) combination. My 3.3V according to the bios and HWinfo is fluctuating between 3.240 and 3.260. Is this normal? Had another RM850x lying around, swapped it to see if that made a difference, and the interval was now a bit tighter (3.248 to 3.260)...

Sorry to bother again, but I think I scratched this part further down the path: Seems to be some pin-like thing under a transistor, as far as I can tell. Should I be worried? Computer's running fine, but I'm scared.
