A very informative article:

Basically shows that if ur system is stable,there is not much to worry about for the mobo's sensor showing +/- 3% deviation from the ideal voltage.

To conclude, we can see that the claims of motherboard voltage sensor inaccuracy are well-founded to a degree. Whether or not some of the variances are anything to bog down your mind with is up to you to decide. Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned if my voltages were 2% off, but as the results showed, some of these variances can make quite the difference. In fact, I wouldn't hesitate to bet that some people have been scared into buying a new power supply just because of some low voltage readings that were the fault of the motherboard rather than the original power supply.
