Disaster!!!!!
I did the 3.3rail and my 12V rail on my antec 430w
went with fixed resistors and attained 3.5V for teh 3.3rail, and 12.15V for teh 12V rail, left my 5V rail at 5.05V
I checked every possible combination of power on the mobo power connector with my multimeter and read the correct votlages and checked every ground wire to make sure it worked.
I took two diff random black ground wires at the base of the sleeving and use them for grounding two different resistors for the 3.3 and 12V.
I used a 10ohm + 150ohm on the 3.3 to get 3.5V, and I used a 68ohm + 8.2k ohm on the 12V for 12.15V .
I plugged it all in, just mobo + 12V aux and left all other unpowered.
I tried booting (didn't discharge cmos..) and no vid signal would get out. then i hear a long memmory problem BEEP. I turn off the comp and reset the cmos and try again but the mobo won't even try to boot. ON my mobo the standby power LED and Memory LED's come on like they're suppsoe to wehn i power it but it won't do anything. I tried 2 different psu's and the same thing.......
How could anything have fried with the volts I MEASURED, 3.5V and 12.15V?
I was at 3.34, adn 12.05V stock
