Is my motherboard voltage reading fine in BIOS?

Hey guys. Does my motherboard voltage reading in the BIOS fine? The problem is my old EVGA G2 850Watts makes a huge pop sound and a little smoke coming out of the power supply vent on the back yesterday when I plugged the power supply cable into my room socket, and my room lost electricity too. PC is able to turn on with a secondary power supply, the EVGA G1+ 650Watts. But I am really concern about the 5V reading because it only give 4.88V in the BIOS. No hard drives connected yet. Only the motherboard 24 cable, 8 pin cpu cable, 8 ping vga cable, cpu cooler, NZXT USB 2 hub internal extension, keyboard and mouse, and monitor.

I just finished building this yesterday night. I only change the power supply but i am still using the EVGA G2 cable because it is compatible with EVGA G1+ according to EVGA customer support.

 

MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon

Ryzen 7 3700X

Sapphire Pulse RX 590

Viper 16GB DDR4 3200MHz RGB

 

TL:DR

I finished building the PC yesterday

Plugged in the power cable and flipped the power supply switch on

EVGA G2 Power supply makes a huge pop sound and smoke coming out of the psu vent

Swap PSU to EVGA G1+

PC turn on and everything seems to be working fine

Concern the 5V reading in the BIOS

The G1 is crappy so the voltage drop is normal.

 

Also, as a bit of advice, don't use a PSU that literally carpet.bombed you carpet

Nothing to worry about that is normal.  It will be 4.9 or 5.0 voltage in WIndows or when your doing a demanding task.  For some their 5v is low 4.6 or 4.7 volts and it runs fine.

That's why I generally recommend getting a new PSU when going very high end.

But " don't fix it if it ain't broke"

 

I can confirmed my EVGA G2 PSU is in a very good condition before the build, but I did not expect it to blew up on me on my zen 2 build.

Hello

 

I ran Unigine Heaven Benchmark and the 5v reading from HWInfo64 only show max 4.88v

 

Is it something to concern about?

No that is normal.  I mean it happens on high end PSU's as well.  No worries I promise.  :)

I thought it has to be exact 5V and no lower.
