[redphoenix]

Any mods for the Vantec Stealth? Some low volts here so im looking to boost any of the 3.3v 5v or 12v lines..

Thanks.

Its a lot of pages, but it does help.

My Antec holds 5v/3.3v/12.5v pretty well perfectly all the time, but I want more... hehe.


How do I know mine is sensor wires?:rolleyes:


If they are that would be rather simple. Just give this PSU more life before I smash it.

Look at the ATX connector that plugs into the motherboard.

Hold it facing you with the clip on the right. Left bottom is a yellow wire (12v rail), right bottom (5v rail), and top right (3.3v rail). If any of those spots have 2 wires going into them, that means you have sense wires that you can mod versus having to dig around inside the psu and work on acutal resistors.

If there are 2 wires present, the thin one if the sense wire, and thus the one you need to add resistance to in order to get higher voltage versus stock.

Let us know if you manage to figure out if you have sense wires present before we go any further.

i had one of these psu's before. it was very simple to mod. it has the brown wire going into the atx connector. follow this guide here --------> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16050

never modded the 5v or 12v though

My wire colors are different... is this what it is supposed to be? Before we go further confirm this..

I held it the wrong way.. Okay I got you.:rolleyes:


Only one that has extra wires going to it

the 3.3v has Orange and Brown into it

THe others do not

Still possible to mod all 3?

Anthing is possible...well sort of. :hehe:

The 3.3v mod is certainly a go.

I will look around the web for this psu of yours, and you should do the same.

I am guessing there may either be pots on the inside ( have you opened it up to see whats inside..?), or you may be forced to consider looking at resistors on the psu pcb.

Ive opened it up many times :) To change fans and snip some wires I dont use. I can open it up sometime this weekend if you need that.

Bump.

I have my Vantec opened up and I could only get 2 pics for now. Everything is crammed. Need any close ups tell me. So where are the pots?
