On mbm 5 I was looking at the volts on my mother board because for some reason i'm suspicious of my power supply.

This is what i get

Core 0: 1.5V
Core 1: 2.61V
+3.3: 3.3V
+5.00: 5.03V
+12.00: 11.86V
-12.00:-8.24
-5.00: -2.88V

I don't know much about volts. But the last few don't match up at all.

perfectly normal...
You might think the +12V is low, but try it out with a voltmeter...

I could be wrong but I think he is worried about the negative lines. I checked my MBM5 and my negative's are above 12 and 5. So in my case I would say there is something wrong with his negative's. Than again there could be soemthing wrong with mine.

I've never seen any good negative lines on any Abit board, with a lot of diffrent PSU's... And I've never run into any problems related to that...

Hmmm, time for an Abit AI7, that has tighter voltage regulation.

Thanks for the help. I think I'm gonna replace it anyway. It was a cheap generic that came with my case. Or i might try a different psu and see if the numbers change
