Hi, I have speedfan and I think my readings are kind of strange, I replaced the power supply and I got these readings:

Vcore1: 1.42v
Vcore2: 1.90v
+3.3v: 3.38v
+5v: 6.85v
+12v: 12.22v
-12v: -5.94v
-5v: -2.04v
Vbat: 3.09v

My 5v rail is reading 6.85?? I dont quite understand, can someone please explain my readings and are they normal? Thanks!

Check in BIOS or with a digital multimeter, a DMM is the most accurate way to check. No software reads the voltage properly on my desktop, but BIOS and my DMM agree that everything is normal.

BIOS doesnt have option to read 5V, unless there is an option somewhere. Dont own a DMM ;/

Speedfan is one of the worst programs for reading voltages. HWMonitior is a little better but I have found that no program can accurately read voltages. You can get a cheap digital multimeter for $20 this is the best way to accurately read your voltages.

Yeah I figured. Speedfan sucks at reading my 12v and 5v... I got really scared when I saw 6.85 but after downloading HW and Everest they are reading my 5v standby at 5.67v. Thanks for your responses.
