"For testing of this XG Vortec 600W PSU, I had used the latest motherboard monitor software to monitor the voltage."

Sounds accurate :stick:

Agree

Asus monitor on my 12v line 12.35
MBM 5 monitor on my 12v line 11.80

You can't trust them.

Atleast it looks cool whether or not it performs is up to someone that owns one of these, a power hungry system, and a multimeter.

I'd be more impressed if they tested it with a 6800gt or better in the system and the 3200+ overclocked.

If there are so many variations on different boards then what shud be used
to monitor the voltages for there exact values.

Have never used a voltmeter , is there ne guide to read the voltages using
voltmeter for a PSU.

MGE is one of those companies I don't trust, simply because I know what they want from a review. Read MikeC's (SPCR's admin) comment, fourth from the bottom.
I know that they're not unique with doing this, but in the end it means you can never trust a review of a MGE product. :stick:

You have to work very hard to actually need 600 W in an aircooled system, no matter what A @ 12 V number minimum requirement DFI tries to scare you with. A stock 3500+ still uses only 4 A at load, including PWM loss.
