actually they are super stable hehe, it's just antec's seems to not be exactly 12.00 on the 12v rail but they are stable...and O yah, can you take a picture of the cabling for the psu i heard they are really messy.

hey, i just installed an Antec Truepower 2.0 480W... My voltages are --
+12- 11.85
-12- 12.16
The rest seem around perfect, but are these supposed to be off by this much? because i thought antecs are supposed to be super stable. Also, on my 20-pin main connector, one pin is missing on the connector. There is an empty square.. .is that supposed to be happening?
THanks

Check the readings with a multimeter not the BIOS or software.

Thats just over 1% out, which is almost PCP&C performance. Nothing to complain about at all.

Ok, and what about the 20-pin main atx connector missing a pin?

Ummmm...which pin is "missing"?

Number 18 could be missing.

It could be, but is it supposed to be?

Depends 18 is the -5v....if you don't have a PSU with the -5v

Edit: Here is what the 24pinout looks like:

Well third from the left bottom sounds like you are saying 13....correct?

The second link is a pdf it takes a moment to load.

So I have been scratching my head trying to figure out why we are at cross communication here until I realized something. Your PSU is a 24pin PSU. So I guess you are using an adapter?

On a 24pin(BTX) pin number 13 is a 3.3VDC pin and pin 18 is a ground.

On a 20pin(ATX) pin number 13 is a ground and pin 18 is the -5v.

In a SFX connector pin 18 is removed otherwise it is like a 20 pin ATX connector.

So pins 1-10 on the 20pin and 24pin are the same. Pins 13-22 on the 24 pin match up to pins 11-20 on the 20 pin connector.

So you have the option of missing from what you have described so far:

20pin:

Pin 13-ground
Pin 18- the -5v

24 pin:

Pin 13-3.3vdc
Pin 18-ground
Pin 15-ground
Pin 19-ground

So I wouldn't worry but damned if I know which pin you are pointing too.

This is all unless i have f'ed my diagrams. Then Ice Czar will bitch slap me for a while.

looks good to me

Glad you have pics you can load.....I wasn't sure if I made sense to the OP but those make what I was trying to say clear. I think I am going to steal them

Ok, my power suppply is a 24-pin but my motherboard can only support 20-pin. The power supply is backwards compatable, so it can support 20-pin, so the 4 extra pins on 1 side are detachable. The pin that is missing is 3 from the side where the extra pins are attachable, on the bottom row.
So, would that matter?

Dude, not to be rude, but someone has gone to the trouble of posting pin out diagrams for you above, and you still can’t figure out the pin number?
However in deciphering your description I would venture to say you are referring to pin-18 on your 20-pin motherboard header and its corresponding pin-20 on your 20+4-pin connector. This would make sense as that is the –5V position and your PSU does not supply –5V.

Peace

Click on the link for a pic of the connector with the missing pin. They are supposed to be like that.
