Is there any program that will tell me the volts on the psu rails and tell me if my psu is running good?

thanks

sure - multimeters are best for that, but there is plenty of software.

Your motherboard may have a utility - check your disk or their website. What board is it?

Things like SiSoft Sandra do it, but not dynamically.

And utilities like Motherboard Monitor (discontinued) and SpeedFan do it. Many more like this. Maybe someone has a current favorite to share.

If MSI there's PC Alert 4. Other board MFGs have their own utility also, but I only had MSI boards that supported the volt. monitoring feature with an utility that works correctly.

Speedfan is a great free app that reads a computer's voltages during useage.

yea i found speed fan and it read, that on my +12v i was getting a 12.28 idle ; during a load it droped down to 12.10 and the mean was like 12.16 or 12.17/8 and the rest of the rails looked good so to speedfan my voltage looks to be pretty good for a cheap psu.
