I just hooked up my new Antec 500w SmartPower 2.0 and the -5V is at 3.5. I have no idea what this means but the loud annoying beeps I get when I run Abit EQ tell me it isn't a good thing. Is this a big problem, what can I do to fix it?
 
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Proof positive that monitoring voltage via software is completely BOGUS!!!!

Your -5V should read 0! Your power supply HAS NO -5V rail!!!!! :D :D :D

It's reading the bleedback value from the circuit...

-5V isn't used on modern boards...it's a hold-over from the olser ISA...
 
Well aint that some shit. I guess I'll just turn off the voltage beeps. Thanks for the knowledge.
