i was using this same power supply on my amd machine. and the +12 line was always 12.21

Never trust bios or software voltage readings. They are estimations of the voltages. Use a multimeter to measure the voltages.

As Dankie says software NEVER reads as a multi meter does same with the temps, I don't know why they bother VERY often causes worry about nothing buy a digital MM then measure and post back, they're not expensive and worth every penny just for peace of mind.
