Antec 550 putting out decent voltages?

I built a new machine recently and checked on the voltages my Antec 550 is supplying.

+12V = 11.4
+5V = 4.86
+3.3V = 3.34
VCore (CPU @ 1.475v) = 1.488 to 1.55

Is it me or does the +12V / +5V values seem a tad low and the VCore seem to fluctuate a tad high?
 
I just noticed ATX spec calls for no more than 5% variance on the power rails. The +5V isn’t too bad, however the +12V is considering it dips to 11.3 on a regular basis. Not to mention the VCore going up to 0.75v above what I’m requesting. :mad:

I hope this potentially poor voltage regulation hasn't hurt my overclocking stability in the long run.
 
If that's a True Control it's tweakable. Either way you didn't mention where you got those readings. My voltmeter and my BIOS say very different things.

Might want to try a voltmeter to be sure
 
Yeah, a bios and a voltmeter might show different things. In fact, since the board is powered, the draw may effect readings significantly. Are you experiencing any instability right now?
