I just got back my power supply i sent to enermax to repair, i got it back and connected it to my computer, powered up and everything is going good. Unfortunatly my motherboard is reporting the voltages low (and my temperature high). it reads

3.3= 3.28
5.5= 4.95
12= 11.92

are these numbers tolerable or should i start looking into a new psu? do you think it's my motehrboard? i have an ic7 g max 2, i got it from abit because i had to rma the motherboard.

my computer is stable though and i even overclocked my cpu 200mhz.. the power supply is a 460w /w PFC enermax
 
Those are within the variance allowed so you should be fine.

Basic 5% range is
+12V....11.4V to 12.6V
+5V......4.75V to 5.25V
+3.3V...3.135V to 3.465V

that supply is actually very close to the reference values
of course software monitoring isnt a good tool for definative values as mentioned employ a Digital Multimeter
but software monitoring is valuable to monitor and log relative values
and sometimes can be calibrated (like Motherboard Monitor)
