Software readings are not accurate. If you want some better numbers, bust out a multimeter and measure from a molex connection.

Do you really need the -5V anyway?...not unless you run legacy gear or serial comms on your machine...
 
Yea good point...just thought it seemed odd it read -61v for the -5v thats all...but it doesnt even look like my mobo is getting a -5v imput from the PSU with the 20 to 24 pin adapter
