Unless your DVM has been calibrated recently, measuring to that accuracy is
pretty meaningless... :-)
That said, assuming red is 12V (there is a standard, but not all PSUs
follow that standard) 10.1V is too low for the output from an ATX PSU
(the 12V rail should be between 10.8V and 13.2V).
Assuming that something in the box isn't pulling the voltage down, you
need a new PSU. Given the problems of testing the PSU operation away
from the Iyonix, and the fact that replacement PSUs are pretty cheap and
easily available from any PC dealer, you probably want to try fitting a
new one.
