I know within 10% is good, but this is the main line. Most PSUs hit a little above 12v. Thins PSU was a bitch and a half to put in. Its a raidmax rx-530 http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817152025

Should I be concerned? It seems my case fan has a noticable power withdrawal if i get OCD about it .... but it may be controlled somehow by the mobo plugin and BIOS power settings.

I see it commonly reading 11.84, once it dropped to 11.76, and goes up to 11.92 or so every few seconds. That makes me think its not putting out enough voltage. I'm definately not drawing a lot of power either. It has and 18amp 12v.

#edit
system specs:
530watt PSU
x2 3800+
2x 1GB Corsair select DDR400 (2 gigs)
6600XT running 2x 19" flatscreen CRTs
2x 100GB WD RAID 1(mirrored)
onboard sound, lan, etc...
 
It's fine. And my guess is you're not using a multimeter to test it, which means that value is useless anyway.
 
get a multimeter, put 1 end on any black cable and the other to the yellow cable and it should read very close to 12v
mobo voltage monitoring sucks

anyone know why mobos suck at monitoring voltage?
