The fluctuation in the 5V rail has increased and in about 10 seconds it fluctuates between 4.92V and 4.95Vv about 5times.I dont think that is a normal characteristic of a "high quality psu". Please let me know if its okay? Coz i remember even in my iball days the 5V appeared more stable!:?

^^ I think I've answered your question before and I'm saying it again that it's perfectly OK and within safe limit. The +5V has a operating range of +4.75 V to +5.25 V and the volt can fluctuate depending in the load on +5V rail - so don't worry too much - you've got a good PSU ;-)

Thank you again.;-)

Now Im doing a multimeter paper clip test to find the actuals and bypass any resistance if the sensors.

^^ I think the Multimeter readings are fine ;-)

Yeah,now Im a happy man as i always wanted a marginal overvolt than a marginal undervolt as the PC probe's wrong readings were showing.
