Yeah, my sparkle came in defective so i got an antec True550eps12v and got a 24pin to 20pin converter and plugged it into my NF7-S, it works great!

But someone brought to my attention that if i was to raise the ram voltage to 3.2+ that i would need to up my 3.3v line as well, browsing around the forum confirmed this.

What i am asking is if some of you have experience with the antec true550eps12v powersupply to let me know if it has voltage adjustment pots, and if so where are they?

Thanks.

afaik, no. You will have to add resistors to the vsense wires.

too bad you didn't get the "True Control 550 watt PSU" -it has the adjustable pots for +12, 5, and 3.3v in a 5.25 bay -(mine comes today)

I think the eps12v is a server power supply (has a different connecter).

eps12v is 36 amps on the 12v
regular is only 24A on the 12v

Thats the major difference. (besides the connector)
