Are these voltages acceptable?

I guess maybe I was expecting more precise voltages but I got my system all set up this weekend and I've been monitoring it like crazy. I'm very paraniod about the system, its the first one I've put together and I have an extreme fear of failure. I'm not overclocking and these are my system stats, Asus K8N Mobo, 1gig Corsair Value Ram 3200/400, 120 gig hitachi SATA, BFG 6800 128oc, 1 optical drive, floppy.

The powersupply is a Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480w. The reviews on it were good and a couple of people on here actually reccomended it.

Anyway here are my average values for voltage...
12v - 11.84/11.74 sometimes dipping to 11.65
5v - pretty stable at 5.107ish
3.3v - 3.37
vcore - 1.53 to 1.55

Are these voltages ok? I have my warning set to warn if they exceed 8%, which is a couple% lower than what the defaults are (10%) and they never go off. I'm probably being worried over nothing but I need input.
 
I don't know accurate the motherboard voltage meters are, but they are only indicating at most a 3% fluctuation, so I don't think you should be concerned. That's my partially educated opinion, but if it's not enough to calm yourself, try some gin and tonic...
 
software is good for relative values,
for definative values you would employ a Digital MultiMeter
then in say MBM you would calibrate the software ;)

just thinkin about Gin makes my stomach turn :p
single malt scotch ;)
