Power supply voltage warnings
I have an older asus motherboard (a7n8x-wm, maxtor drive recently failed in the computer), and i am watching the hardware monitor and:
Vcore Voltage: jumps slightly from 1.616 to 1.648 (text stays blue color)
3.3V Voltage: jumps sligtly from 3.728 to 3.760 (text stays blue)
5V Voltage: jumps from 5.456 to 5.510 (text goes RED when voltage hits 5.510)
12V Voltage: stays constant at 12.768 (text stays blue)
The power supply is a generic POWMAX 400W. Here are my questions:
1. Should the voltages be constant? Is slight change ok?
2. Should I worry that the 5V voltage jumps to 5.510 and goes red?
3. Should I replace the powersupply?
Please answer all questions.
Thanks,
Trevor

How do i test the powersupply with the voltmeter once i purchase it? specifically the 5v.
Open the case of your PC and connect the wires to probs. The red wire must be 5 volts and the yellow wire must be 12 volts.
