may be wrong divider

definetly wrong divider, halfed, 3.2V, which is acceptable.

acceptable

maybe this or that ;)

wrong divider

wrong divider

ok

I suspect wrong divider.

only if you have problems with your systems stability.

no
but you can never believe the voltages.
The absolut numbers are irrelevant.
What is important: are there any fluctuations? Does the voltages change under 
load? 
if yes, a new PSU may be the solution
