Hey everyone, I'm wondering if my power supply is faulty. I took some voltage readings and noticed that my 3.3V is showing 2.8V and the 12V is at 4.96V. Here's a screenshot of the readings for reference. Can someone check it and let me know what you think?

Just a heads up, motherboards often struggle with accurately reporting voltages, especially from MSI boards. If you're really worried, the best bet is to test with a multimeter. However, all your values look to be within acceptable range (+/- 5%).
I get what you're saying, but according to what you posted earlier, the BIOS shows a low reading of 2.92V for the 3.3V rail. I’ll be interested to see what the updated screenshot shows.
In the screenshot, the 5V rail is actually showing a low of 4.96V, so I wouldn't stress too much about that. It's not a huge concern.
From the screenshot, it looks like your voltages are actually fine. I'm not sure where the 2.8V and 4.96V readings are coming from. Can you double-check that?
But it says 3.292V, not 2.92V. I wonder if this is just a mix-up with how we handle decimal points in different regions!
