Check your 12v voltages with a multimeter

I've done some more testing and I'm quite sure that my motherboard sensor is reading voltages wrongly. It worked well till I had this problem. I've checked voltages again with another multimeter and they are ok. My misfortune is to have used two inaccurate devices (motherboard and my multimeter) that were giving me approx the same wrong readings (really odd). I'm embarrassed for dubitating about Corsair quality. Thanks to the staff for supporting me.

Ahh.. that means cheap multimeter may give inaccurate result! I need to change my multimeter(will buy Fluke) to test voltage.
