I just switched mobo and CPU from PIII 500mhz to a AX7-333 with AMD XP 1800+.

MBM5 know says my -12V line is reading as -7.17V and my -5 line is +.33V.

All my other lines run perfect (within .05 volts).

Are these probably just wrong? Or does it just not matter?

Sounds like MBM isnt reading the voltages correctly. Dont worry about it. They ARE just the negative voltages, i have never been able to get MBM to read them correctly.

I would say test with a multimeter. If the volts are still low, get a better PS.

Does your BIOS show voltages too?

I think it's just caused by the lack of any load because I once saw wierd voltages until I connected a load resistor between each negative output and ground. 50-100 ohms, 5 watts or more should do it.
