Aida32 will give you all you want and more.

http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php

Just noticed they've ceased development on Aida32, but the site lists several alternatives.

Ok, i downloaded AIDA32. My voltage reading is kind low, very drastic voltage drop in my opinion. What should be me ideal voltage reading for a system that has a P4 2.8 HT 800Mhz FSB 512mb DDR stick. Here is what i get for a reading ;
CPU Core= 1.55v
+2.5v = .90 to 1.15v
+3.3v = .72 to 1.74v
+5v = 1.10 to 3.3v
+12v = 2.30 to 7.80v
+5v standby 1.69 to 3.41
VBAT 3.06 steady voltage

Does anyone get these kinds of voltage drops in their systems?

Those look seriously low. Think I'd be looking for a quality power supply in the 350 watt or greater range.

edit: I just looked at my readings with Aida32 and Asus Probe. The Aida 32 numbers are flakey on my + and - 12v readings but the others are close to right on. Try another software for comparison.
