    Power Supplies (and the K8N Master 2-FAR motherboard [from hell])

    Sweet, sir. That's awesome. I imagine that the (optional) means that some boards use it and some don't, so for those that don't, it's an optional feature. The picture from newegg has the -5V feature listed, so I imagine that it's the same. Holy damn, this feels good. Thank you so much! I...

    So you're saying that it's some sort of quality check? I noticed that none of the pin definitions use the -5V stuff, although I wonder how you can pump negative volts, anyway... Probably the charge? I don't know a lot about this stuff. That makes sense. If a lot of supplies were...

    Ah, it's single rail. So it's compatible, but not compliant. Maybe the FSP one from before, then? Man, this stuff is confusing. Stupid -5V rail. I really appreciate this.

    Also, hm. What about this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?DEPA=0&Type=&Item=N82E16817103478&SortField=3&Pagesize=&Page=2 ? Thanks for the advice folks. It's the end-game here, and I just want to make sure that everything is workable, eh?

    Power Supplies (and the K8N Master 2-FAR motherboard [from hell])

    See, the real problem is that there has to be a -5V rail on it, thanks to my stupid motherboard. I don't want to pay 200+ dollars, so it looks like the FSP is my best bet. Do you see anything that would make that untrue? I've already gone through two that didn't work, the first not being...

    Well, crap. I've gotta have that stupid -5V rail, though. How about this: FSP Group (Fortron Source) FSP550-60PLN EPS12V 550W Power Supply 100 - 240V UL,CSA, TUV, NEMKO, CB & CE - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104973 Thanks! I hope to finish this by...

    OK, sorry to spam, but what about the following: Xion PowerReal XON-600F14T-201 ATX12V V.2.01 600W Power Supply - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817190007#DetailSpecs (I'd need a converter from 4-pin to 8-pin, but the voltages are the same on either kind of...

    Also, can't I just get a converter for one of the 4-pin IDE cables to get that last 8-pin cable? -Matt

    Power Supplies (and the K8N Master 2-FAR motherboard [from hell])

    Hi! I'm a newbie at building computers, and I just built my first. Whoo-ie. My issue is the power supply. According to MSI, the manufacturer of this wonder K8N Master 2-FAR board, I need a -5V rail. Not common, I say. I also need a 24 pin connector for the board, an 8 pin connector for the...

    Mobo suggestions for dual Opteron 940

    You're right about the heatsinks. I couldn't put the AMD heatsinks in, either. At this point, I don't want to RMA the motherboard, but is there any way to get a converter for the heatsink to make them work? Some sort of little bar or whatever so I can use the AMD heatsinks? I don't...

    Thanks for the RAM advice. Whoo, RMAs. What about the PSU? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817181108 Is this not EPS12V? Do you also have an MSI K8N Master? It doesn't say on NewEgg that the Antec TruePower550 has that -5V rail. I'm really sick of having parts...

    Well, that's sad. What about the PSU? The -5V stuff is really confusing to me.
