Question Do these voltages collected from HWinfo indicate that my PSU is dying?

So my computer has been wonky for a long time now, and very occasionally wouldn't boot. Additionally, some of the USB slots are finicky and rapidly connect/disconnect certain devices, but other devices work in those slots. It's all very random and hard to trouble shoot because its hard for me to recreate any of it. Recently though, my computer has been running at a lower-than-expected power. I have a powerful GPU and my computer has barely been able to handle certain games that it should be basically blasting through. So, I have been doing some diagnostics on it with some help. One of the things that came up was that the voltages on my computer are funky and the person helping said they were surprised my computer was even able to boot given what they were seeing. The problem is that they didn't tell me what they were looking at when making that assumption, so I'm trying to nail down what it was that set alarm bells off in their head so that I may trouble shoot for myself int he future.

Anyway here is a HWinfo screenshot, and I just wanted to make sure that what I'm seeing is not normal and should be something that I'm addressing. The 12v looks severely underpowered. I bought a PSU tester from amazon to verify that its not a broken sensor on my MOBO that is coming later tonight.

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU: Radeon 7900 xt
PSU: Evga superNOVA 1300 G2 120-g2-1300-XR 80+ gold
MOBO: ASUS prime X470-pro AM4

Honestly, software measurement of voltage tends to be very inaccurate. If you were actually getting it off by nearly two volts, it's highly doubtful you could even get it to start at all.

so wait for my voltage checker before running out and buying a new PSU? Sometimes my computer won't start. It's rare, and that problem mostly disappeared after replacing the battery on the MOBO, but it still does occasionally happen.

This is from a different section of HWinfo and it is showing voltages that seem to be MUCH more appropriate.

If the voltage really was 10pointsomewhat volts the system would shut down. There's no 12v motherboard that can run @10v.

so, my PSU is likely fine, and the problem is with the sensor instead? is any of the information in the second picture I posted relevant at all?

The PSU is fine. I've seen much worse HWi64 reading from AMD motherboards.

Since you didn't mentioned the game, resolution or RAM it could be anything. If you're playing at 1080, which I hope you're not with a 7900xt, you're bottlenecked.

4K or 1440 could be RAM or bad OC if you are OC'd.

It could even be a MB going bad. I've had systems with really dumb random issues just like you and the same frustrations. Asus also at least recently hasn't been a fan favorite.
