Question about voltage readings.

[coffeefoot]

I have noticed in occt in the monitoring panel the +12 v shows 7.08 volts. About the same in hardware monitor. However in Aida64 it shows 12v. I don't have a multimeter yet but I will be getting one tomorrow. Shows 12 v in the bios also.

Ignore them.

Software is never right for PSU voltages.

Asus Ai Suite often gives me warnings saying my +12v rail is running at like 0.001v...
Providing you have a decent PSU, you have nothing to worry about.

Thanks James. You know, I once called up Asus tech support and after a brief conversation, the tech told me he never uses Asus software. "Too buggy".

zomg you have no idea how right he is. Asus software is shockingly bad... never had more problems with monitoring and overclock software than when I tried using Asus GPU Tweakit. Went right back to MSi Afterburner, never had a single problem afterwards.
