How are these voltages being read? If it is by software or bios, then they are most likely wrong. Get a digital multimeter, and test them.

Yeah get a multimeter or borrow one from a friend. I use to go by software to monitor it (not adjust it), and it was off by as much as .5v

Now weather or not it has adjustable rails i have no clue, never owned that PSU before

Well, I used BIOS and the Rails read what I posted above .. How do I check the +12V / 5V / 3V? Thanks

There is a post in THIS post that'll show you how to do it. It was by Tmod.

Your rails are probably much better than you think. Those motherboard sensors are never accurate.

If you are still interested in raising your rails after you read them with a digital multimeter, you will have to do a mod to the PSU. It involves soldering a resistor, and a variable resistor in-line with the Vsense wires from the ATX connector. There is a guide posted by Hell Fire at Xtreme Systems. I can dig it up for you if you want to go through with it.
