Normally the caps need a proof voltage of the double norminally voltage. Higher is good (for longer life) but not needed. So the caps in the 5V way must be 10V, in the 12V way you need 25V. Ich have plenty power supplies that use 16V caps for the 12V part without blowing up. I have also seen 6.3V caps in 5V curcuits that gave no problems.
