hi guys, i have an Enermax 431 whisper model, and through my Iwill HWmonitor it reads my 3V = 3.36, 5V = 5.03, and 12V = 12.14
but with MBM, it reads my 3.3V = 3.35, 5V = 6.29, and 12V = 10.875V !!!

why so different!!! which one should i trust more? and should i worry about my PSU?

I'm not sure why MBM gives you such radical variations, but Via HWM has never let me down. You can look at your voltages in the bios when you boot up. Write them down and then compare those values with both HWM and MBM to see who has it right. My money is on Via HWM.

3V = 3.36
5V = 5.01
12V = 12.13

Yes, they look good. Basically VIA HWM should work on any motherboard with the VIA Northbridge and Southbridge chips.
