Hi...

Two different monitoring utilities insist that my -12V is very low at -7.2
and the AMD 2500+ core voltage is high at 1.66V. I got the same results with
two different power supplies (one of which is new).

Any ideas why this would be? Bad sensors, maybe?

If it works don't fool with it. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Must be a waste of time to install those monitors, then.

I was just worried I might be destroying my CPU.

First, if the -12 was actually -7.2 your computer isn't going to work
and you won't need any sensors to tell you that. Most of those monitors
don't work worth a damm any way, except the ones to tell you the fan
speeds and those are the monitors that are usually ignored. Figure that
one out.

The classic case "All I did was try to flash my BIOS and now my computer
just sits there and looks at me and won't talk to me--HELP Woo is
me". Usually the guy had no idea how to flash the BIOS or why he was
doing it in the first place.

Again don't fix it, if it ain't broke!!!!

The -12 supply isn't used by your VA-10, so you can rest at ease. Chances
are that the measuring device needs to measure the -12 under a load and your
board doesn't provide a load for that rail.

Nothing to worry about. It's been years since ANY desktop board made use of
the -12 volt supply.
