+12V voltages varying greatly with different software

Hi everyone. i was checking the +12V readings of my system today. i was pretty surprised by the various data that i got from different softwares. e.g.
hwmonitor(1.05) - 10.43
hwmonitor(1.12) - 8.25
everest(5.01) - 12.41

i checked with each software multiple times, got the same reading in each case.
is it natural for these softwares to display such variations in readings?

p.s. - yes, i could take the reading with a multimeter, but that's for later.

if you pc is running stable then do put much attention to these voltage readings and yes, HW monitoring app can display such variations in readings - it's normal and I recommend you to use HWinfo ;-)

Check with AIDA64 or in the BIOS.

i would suggest use the BIOS or a mutimeter

The exact reading comes from a multimeter, you can read from the BIOS as well

thnx for ur suggestions everyone.
