I would assume thats not good at all.....

If i remember correctly, none of the voltages should vary more than +2 or -2. Even thats too much fluctuation for me.

Aside from the vcore which shouldnt go past +1 or -1.

Relax. -5 volts was previously used for some ISA cards. The -5v rail has been optional since 2003...there's practically nothing on a recent-vintage mobo that uses -5 volts.
