I just updated HWinfo64 today and observed the VRVin was added (at least I hadn’t noticed it before). If correct, it seems to be displaying the 12v rail. I also noticed that my 12v rail drops underload between 11.8-11.7, with the lowest I’ve seen being 11.692. When I say load, I mean while streaming on Spotify and watching a few Twitch streams at the same time, plus Discord open. With a light game, the numbers remain mostly stable.

My PSU is a Corsair RMX850 gold. It’s three years old. After some research, I found conflicting information—some say it’s outdated, others claim there’s no issue and it’s normal. I’m just seeking reliable answers to my new findings ^_^

Thank you very much.

According to ATX standard (wiki-link), the tolerance for 12V is ±10% (±1.20 V), meaning it remains within acceptable limits. If this does not lead to issues such as instability, no action is required.
