+5V rail 15% out?

I've been told by someone that the voltage tolerance level on a PSU rail is 5% out from the actual voltage it's supposed to receive, but I seem to have 1 rail that is 15% out

According to SpeedFan and AIDA32 my +5V rail is receiving 4.25V - is this a problem that I should look at? If so, how can I fix it?

I've got a Tagan 480W PSU with the following connected to it:

5x 80MM case fans (3 light up, 1 controlled by the HDD cooler)
HDD Cooler (requires 1 molex connection)
Fan controller (requires 1 molex connection)
4x HDD's (3x IDE, 1x SATA)
1x CD-RW/DVD ROM drive
2x cathodes that change colour
Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard
Athlon XP 2600+ (166FSB, being cooled by a Volcano 12 which is plugged into the fan controller)
Radeon 9800XT (running off the stand-alone molex for graphics cards)
Audigy 2 ZS
TV Card
