is my psu almost dead?

That reading is so slow that PC would likely have serious problems if it were true.
(allowed main rail tolerances are +/- 5%)
Most likely it's just wrong reading.
Software reading sare known to be untrustworty, unless they've been checked to be accurate with multimeter.

I don't know, check its pulse.
On a serious note, have a look at reviews of your PSU and see what others were getting out of the 12v line.

possibly under warranty, but depends how long the warranty is for it, some 3 years, some 5 years etc, I often find things die just as the warranty runs out.
if in doubt you can always downlaod hwinfo64 its a lot better at reading sensors, after you've installed it scroll down around halfway until you see you mobo with in there are the 12v, 5v and 3.3v read outs, place you system under load and keep hwinfo open after a while go back to it and see what voltages are being reported, from memory the max tolorance from atx is around 11.6 minimum, if your at 11.1v then alarm bells should be ringing
thanks for your help
downloaded hwinfo and ran a few benchmarks and 12v rail minimum on load was 12.096
HWmonitor must be reporting it wrong
thanks everyone
