Look at my +12V, I have a 550watt Antec psu for the rig in my sig. I thought 550watt should be enough and my +12V= 12.224:mad:

As long as your machine runs stably you should be fine. I've found that MBM5 reports lower voltages than what I get with a multimeter reading (sometimes 0.1 - 0.3+ volts lower on +12V line). Also check what your BIOS reports. Granted it won't be able to show you load voltages but it will give you a general idea of whether or not the software reporting is close.

Those numbers are fine. What you want to look for are fluctuations in those numbers under load. A 550w Antec should give you solid voltages. Also you don't want your voltage over spec by very much. Things run hot when they get more juice.

Right in line. Antec power supplies are very good at keeping good line voltages. As Tismedt said, look for fluctuations, you should expect minor to no fluctuations.

You should definitely should to get your readings using a multi-meter as MBM isn't accurate.

But if those readings are under 100% load, then it should be good.
