question, voltage freq reading

[wikki]

hi huys. im new on this so im still confused.

my msi core center reads the +5v at 4.8* + only, it never goes up to 5. and the 12v at 11.2* only sometimes goes down at 10.**, never goes up to 12.

is this normal? whats wrong with this reading.

also any suggestions on other program tools to monitor the freq or psu unit.

This is very normal with software readings of voltages. Software is unreliable on the best of days. Get a multimeter and check the voltages.

My sister's PC was showing the 12V as 11.74V and 5V as 4.6V while the 3.3V rail was showing 2.89V.

A quick check with a DMM showed the 12V rail was at 12.05V and the 5V rail was at 5.08V. I didn't check the 3.3V rail but I'm pretty sure it's the same case.
