I'm concerned your 12v rail could be overloaded and potentially damage itself. Please check the voltage details from the provided link.
It's high but its accuracy needs verification. A voltmeter would confirm whether it's correct, otherwise it might just be a poorly calibrated motherboard. ATX specifies that voltages should be within 5% of their value, so 12 volts should range from 11.4 to 12.6 volts.

Maxwellmelon asks if the reading is correct and suggests using a voltmeter for verification. He mentions that ATX specifies voltages should be within 5% of their value, so 12 volts should range between 11.4 to 12.6 volts. He also inquires whether it can still be used safely.
well your running 15% from the proper value which is 10% above the normal range. i can't say for sure what will happen because 10% higher than the maximum is quite a jump. it might not cause any damage, but ******it could burn something*. it's hard to tell what the makers intended for every other part. ultimately, it's your computer and your data. you need to weigh whether the risk is worth it. (i wouldn't take it, that's me). i'd prefer a meter to check the voltages before using it. if the issue is just the motherboard misreading, then it should be okay. but if it's really out of spec...something could burn up eventually.
