Are These Voltages Normal?

I decided to use CPUID Hardware monitor on my new system and these are the results I came up with. As you can see, everything seems normal except " Voltage 5 8.10 Volts [0x5C] (+12V) ." Is this normal? It's supposed to be +12V but I'm only getting 8.10 volts. Is this okay? Or does this mean that there's not enough power running to this certain part?

Oops, false alarm. I checked in my BIOS and it's reporting as 11.96 Voltages, not 8.10. ^^ Sorry

Software voltage readings arent super reliable, they have been getting better but since the boards dont always have it well documented what chip they are measuring voltages with HW Monitor sometimes takes a guess and gets it wrong. If your voltage were that low you wouldnt have even booted, so HW monitor obviously guessed wrong in your case. Trust the BIOS readings, but if you want to be really accurate you need a digital multimeter.
