Why more volts?

[InfamousHindu]

Ijust got my pre-released Thermaltake Silent Purepower Xaser edition with 480watts. I bought a 226W TEC from Dangerden and i wanted to know how many volts were coming out of the molex connectors. So i got my meter thingy and hook it up to the red one to its appropriate on and got 10.3Volts. and then to the yellow one and got 26.5 Volts!! Everything works fine in my pc, but i'm lost, and i'm confused, someone explain this to me.

Make sure you are touching the leads in the right places. One lead has to touch to a ground when you are reading voltages, so one lead has to touch a black wire and the other should the voltage source. Make sure your multimeter is set to read voltage and your PSU is on when you test.

Also, make sure it's set to read DC voltage and not AC voltage. You'll get different numbers if you use the wrong setting.
