Common question about voltage.

Well, I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times.

But I just want to be reassured about my new psu purchase.

Bios and software is showing my voltages as.

vcore 1.34
+3.3 - 3.23
+5.0 - 4.92
+12 - 11.84

Even though I'm aware that only way to get accurate readings is via hardware meters,
still should I be worried?

And the voltages do seem to be fluctuating. not drastically though. (e.g. +3.3 (3.23 - 2.25) +5(4.92 - 4.95) etc)

Thanks ^^
 
If the figures are correct they are within the +/-5% spec. The only way to know is to use a multimeter.

So......
 
I would not trust the BIOS/software readings, which are only as accurate as the motherboard's own built-in hardware sensors' calibration allows. And the motherboard's own sensors not only are overly sensitive to even minuscule changes in the voltage, they can be off by as much as 15% from the actual voltage as read by an accurate DMM.
