Concerned over MBM results...

[zigzag]

I just dled MBM 5, installed and setup. I'm alittle concerned over the results I've received. Prior to using MBM I was using the asusprobe. Everthing seemed normal with that. However, MBM is reporting that my -12V is at -10.42 and my -5 is at -2.16. Should I be concerned about this? I have an HEC 300AR-T power supply. My MB is an ASUS a7v 266 E.
Also, it is reporting my cpu speed at 1614MHz. I'm running an Athlon 1900+. Shouldn't it be at 1600? This may be nothing, but I wanted to consult with folks who know more than I. Your input is much appreciated.

Those numbers are way too low. MBM is probably just misreading them. Use the Asus Probe, it'll be more accurate getting the voltage rails.

Check them in the BIOS. as amd_man said, these values are too low to be believeable; your machine wouldnt boot. I recently experienced sudden stability problems with my setup.. after months and months without any issues, it suddenky started rebooting several times a day, for no reason. Checked the bios, and saw my 5v line only delivering 4.4v, and my +12 was only 11.3v. Bought a new PSU, and now all is fine again. The previous one by the way, was a "high quality" enermax 350W.. not too sure if I'll buy Enermax again, it wasnt even a year old, and cost 3x as much as a no-name 350W PSU...

I thought these <b>negative</b> voltages used for old ISA devices only that Asus A7V266-E doesn't have. Maybe that's why MBM misread them.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
