+3.3= 3.29
+5= 4.8
+12= 12.77
-12= -13.51
-5= -6.37

I do not know if these are "safe" but my comp has been running fine for a very long time, but maybe this is dangerous? upgrage psu?
 
The 12.77 is out of spec.......but you don't say how you got that number if it was with software it is most likely not accurate. How did you obtain the values?
 
i got them off MBM5 im assuming they are off because if it was 12.77 im sure my computer wouldn't be running that long?
 
they're supposed to be running within +/- 5%, which would be +12.6v at most you should have. It could cause problems, but it might not.

You should check the voltages with a digital multimeter. Software values are often inaccurate.
You can also check what it says in the BIOS or using a different program. Sometimes the reported values in different software/bios are completely different. You can try different programs like Everest or SpeedFan.

edit: which PSU do you have?
