You should believe that it is close enough to not really matter. If it were a lot more difference then I would be concerned. The programs that give readings and arent perfect so I would expect them to be a little off. The only true way to get the right readings is with a volt meter.

IMO, tHe best way to check the voltage on the rails is by using a volt meter.

My BIOS reports the 12v rail @ 11.75v, but it's really @ 12.12v when under load
