I wouldn't be too distressed about 12V supply rails. Most devices that rely on them only do for the "coarse", functions (running spindle motors, for example).. and as such are very tolerant of variable operation. Hell, my box registers about the same, and I'm not sweating it.. )
It's about a %6 variance - immaterial at that end of the spectrum. - anything that requires power at that voltage is pretty crude ( HDD motors etc.. ) - or needs lotssa current (and thus has the ability to regulates the current itself, independent of the input voltage)..

So chill out, and worry about things that actually give a damn.
