Motherboard Voltage Level Question.

[LinuxUser]

Hello,
This is my first post here and I'm looking for some advice.I've used a command to display voltage levels associated with an old motherboard,the type of which is probably irrelevant.I've noticed that a couple of levels seem too high and have "alarm" written after them.My question is what does it mean and what should I do about it?

The output from the command is copied below.

Probably nothing. Motherboard sensors are not reliable. Use multimeter if wanna be sure about voltages.

Agreed. Motherboard sensors have never been that accurate. As Wicked said, a multimeter will be much better for readings.
