I just measured my Antec TruePower 550 with a DMM, so here are my measurements. I don't understand why my load 12+ would be higher than idle. 5v is pretty low too so I'm thinking of doing the mod listed here . What do you guys think about my numbers?

Idle
3.3 = 3.278 (-0.67%)
5 = 4.85 (-3%)
12 = 11.92 (-0.67%)

Load
3.3 = 3.251 (-1.48%)
5 = 4.62 (-4.4%)
12 = 11.94 (-0.5%)
 
That's kind of odd that the +5V is low like that. Otherwise, the 3.3V and 12V look fine, even if it is strange that the +12V raises a tiny bit under load.
