Where are you reading those values from? BIOS? Windows?

ATX power supply standards allow for 5% fluctuation in either direction. Additionally, software readings aren't terribly accurate, as they don't measure the voltage at the source.

Using a multimeter will give you more accurate results.

Even if those are the real values, I'm not seeing an issue here.
 
Hi
Those readings are from Everest Ultimate . Where would find the right
multimeter and info on how to use it properly.
Thank you
 
Here is how to test it. You can pick up a basic digital multimeter for $20 or less at Radio Shack.

You can check the +12V and +5V straight from the power supply by measuring the voltage from a molex connector. The link goes over this info, but the black wires are ground, the red is +5V, and the yellow is +12V.
