I'll almost guarantee that the environmental monitoring chip is reading low. Most people who have looked at USDM/BIOS/MBM and done a measurement with a multimeter have found the monitoring chip to read too low. The occasional few have found it to read too high! This is why it's better to use even a real cheap multimeter! Áedán

Even if the onboard reading was 100% accurate, you are still in good shape. I think the rga draws a lot from the 12v line and you are still within the 5% tolerance range. With older boards that draw mostly from the 5v line, low 5v readings were common. 5% of 12v is +/- 0.6v, so you should be fine. Don't give it a second thought unless you encounter instability.
