I have a neopower 480 that is slightly low on the 12v rail, in the range of 11.71 when under load. Its probably not a huge deal, but is there a way to open the case and "carefully" adjust a pot to raise the voltage a bit? i ask because i had done this years ago on an older 400w antec psu. didn't know if anyone had opened up one of these neopowers or not.

warning!!!!!, be aware of the risks of what i'm talking about, dont' think i can say that enough.

thanks,

Can't do that I'm affraid. You'd be hard pressed to find a pot that adjusts the 12v rail. pot's are alot noisier than straight up resistors thus increasing overall stability for the PSU, so my guess it that if the manufacturer specifically puts on on the outside of the PSU for user adjustments, there won't be one inside.
