If you look, my readings appear to be way out of whack. How accurate are these and should I be worried?

If you want anything else, let me know!

Either your PSU is seriously screwed or that software is. Try some other monitoring software and see what you get.

Those readings may not be accurate since they're taken from your motherboard. Only way to be sure is to use a multimeter.

It's an Ultra. Not the best, but not bad.
I'll find some other software. Any suggestions?

Precisely. My old motherboard insisted it was getting 5.84v out of the 12v rail... I chose to ignore it.

If your voltages really were that far off, the computer wouldn't be running stably, if at all.

I use speedefan and just ignore the voltages that are way off. Did you send a bug report? He gets back to mine right away. I think that the best software means of measuring the voltages is usually with a tool that comes on the driver CD for your motherboard, unless you have winx64 or linux.
