    Wtf is this???

    I was browsing PSU's on Newegg on saw this Topower PSU with an "ATX version switch" Is this just some marketing thing to look all fancy? Never seen that before.

      looks to be a way of selecting 12 output it may also to make it more stable at high 5v loads and low 12v loads

          hmm i think it might be more to do with how the 12v output rails are setup.

              I was thinking maybe but I'm not sure how they'd go about doing that in such a cheap PSU

                  It looks to turn off the -5V. Also, considering that it (supposedly) has multiple +12V rails, maybe it's an OCP on/off switch.

                      It combines the multiple 12v rails into one. Topower has been selling units with that for a while under a multitude of different marketing names.
