my hardware monitor in the bios shows my +12v rail at 12.06 and speedfan and cpuid hardware monitor report it at 10.64v.i am running windows 7 64bit.which is more accurate?

The bios.

thanks,i changed power supplies and got same readings.my computer is not experiencing any problems that should be happening at 10.64 volts.

Are you sure your not reading -12v from cpuid at 10.64 this is pretty common. There should be a seperate reading for 12v as well unless you have a demo version that arbitrarily doesn't show all data.

yes i am.i switched to another ( the third) power supply that has good power rails on one of my other computers.all three power supplies report good +12volt values in the bios but in speed fan and cpuid hardware monitor all three power supplies report the same value of 10.56 volts.i have built a lot of systems but have never seen this problem.i am leaning toward a windows 7 glitch and not the bios.
