What?? This is my first time doing a 7v mod. I'm trying to 7v 4 yate loons (maybe 5 too). I made an adapter. After putting more than 2 yate loons on the 7v, it overloads the psu and shuts it off. That's all I can do?? I'm not using my main psu right now (currently using an older but tried and true ttgi 450w with more than enough 5v and 12v rail power?!?!)

Yeah... I can see it.
What PSU?
Try powering them all seperately, you never know, your splitter might be faulty

Yeah I'm running them all at 12v currently without a hitch. Just 7v causes it to overload. Hmm guess it's time to invest in a 3.5" rheobus.
I had way less clearance than I though. The rad and fan assembly comes about half an inch from the cdrom if that. I'll take pictures soon like yours

Haha, yeah, it's definitely a close call...
Remember, when running fans at 7v (through the potential difference between 5 and 12v) you're "losing" 5v which makes it's way back to ground.
Large 7v loads, especially on the same rail, with a mid-class PSU, is just a troublesome situation.
