I was just curious if these voltages were decent for my comp other than software I have no way of checking voltages.

I have:
Phenom II x4 920
2.75gb DDR2 RAM
XFX 5670
Orion HEC 585 watt PSU

In case the image doesn't show the averages are:

CPU VCORE: 1.33v
+3.3v: 3.31v
+12v: 12.54-12.61v sometimes it goes to 12.67v
-12v: 6.34-6.40v
VBAT: 3.25v
 
Many programs cannot reliably calculate negative voltages.

Use a DMM to measure the voltages. Measure between the colored wires and either chassis ground or the black wires. Yellow wires should be 12 volts. Red wires: +5 volts, orange wires: +3.3 volts, blue wire : -12 volts, violet wire: 5 volts always on. Tolerances are +/- 5% except for the -12 volts which is +/- 10%.

The gray wire is really important. It should go from 0 to +5 volts when you turn the PSU on with the case switch. CPU needs this signal to boot.
