Will my 400W hold up to the test...

[RainMaQer]

I'm really lost when it come to psu's... I've got a 400w Codegen. I'm currently on an MSI K7T Turbo Limited w/RAID... but I'll be switching to an 8kha+ this week. The 3.3 and 5v combined is like 240+... 3.3 is 14A, 5v is 40A, and the 12v is 12A. On this MSI my 5v is 4.78 +/-. Will this mobo hold up with the new mobo? Should I see about trading this for a different psu? Should I just do a voltage mod on the 5v? Is there anyone thats done the 5v mod on an 8kha+ and done it with LESS permenant results? Thanks.

That looks fine.


I have a very similiar PSU and I did the Mosfet mod, the Mod didn't really make much difference even though the true voltage was much higher.

But if you need any help on the Mod or information please ask.
Bearing in mind though I have done the Volt Mod and thats why the Mosfet mod didn't really up the voltage....

The Mod isn't permanent either if you use the Grabbers but its not very secure either due to the design of the Mosfets.
