Power (Supply)/Overclocking question...
Hi guys,
A question related to power supply and the voltages...
For a typical power supply, it mainly consists of the +3.3V, +5V, +12V, +5VSB, -5V, -12V and so on. I don't know much about how the each trail is distributed but from tracing the wires, I guess most of the +3.3V goes to powering the motherboard, the +5V and +12V power stuff like fans, hdds, cd-roms, motherboard...etc.
My question is, if I increase the vcore, ram or the agp voltage, from which trail (+3.3V, +5V or +12V) does the extra voltage use up the most?
Also, if I need to overclock, which trail do I need to make sure it doesn't drop in order to keep stability?
Many thanks.
