    Most new motherboards don't use -12v anyway, and software voltage monitoring is never accurate.

    I wouldn't worry about it.
    A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

      Re: In need of a reliable PSU

      I know the thread has moved on but thought Id add this anyway

      Corsair PSU's are made by Seasonic,

      Not all models are of Seasonic build from what I understand
      HX620W is and I think the HX520W too

      The VX TX is apparently CWT build
      ( using chemi-con KZE series by the looks of it from photos)

      Still, from what I understand a solid build

      anyway as was said before, check the reviews over at Jonny Guru's
      info above got from JG's reviews

      Cheers

        The -12v supply must be loaded to get within spec

        Which still allows for +/- 20%

        Only serial ports AFAIK use the darn thing anyway... Guess it might be routed to the PCI ports aswell but I doubt it

          If the PCI or PCI-X is a 5v version (32 or 64 bit) then -12v goes to it.
          If it's a 3.3v version it doesn't.
