I own a Tg480-U01, I have the pot for up +12V and +5V (is that for these 2 voltage, or only for +12V?).

I just need help to know some tips before modding it:
-just turning it 1/4 in the time way (ie from 12:00 to 3:00)?
-Is that making my PSU more stable (and will be helpfull) for Overclocking ????

I own a P5AD2-E PREMIUM, with Intel P4 640, ATI X850 XT Video Card.

Thank you so much for answering.

Hope you will understand my poor english...

i adjusted mine with the pc in bios so i could see in real time what the voltages were changing to

good to know

**kryptobs2000** · 04-10-2005, 10:39 AM

don't mean to bash the psu, but didn't you say it's 140$ usd? Maybe prices are more expensive in the uk, but I don't think thats a very good deal. Fortron 530w is I believe 80$ on newegg, ocz 520w powerstream is 140$ and the Zippy 500w is only 120$ with I believe 32a on the 12v rail.

The trick works with the Tagan 530-U22 thanks man.

**Theo404** · 07-15-2005, 05:37 PM

Many Many Thanks to the finder of this information (I thought tagens were unmodable, now I know, it even has a pot). Just bumped the 12v from 11.90V to 12.27V (idle) 12.21V (load)

Read this thread about 15mins ago, and now I'm done, with an upgraded psu!

Pics:

This is a first revision U01, and I'm pleased as punch. The pot, as seen in the pics, is an orange colour, and mine had some bluish gunge in it, I used a knife to turn it, while in windows looking at MBM5, it only required about an 1./8th of a turn.

Thanks again!

Umm to the guy that said it was a bad deal, do you know that these are actually selling for around $85?

**PanaBob** · 07-28-2005, 02:43 PM

So you can adjust the 12v and 5v together, but not the *** 3.3v *** from what I'm seeing here. Guess you gotta buy a DDR Booster to get good vdimm or do vsense mod (if you have a 3.3v sense wire) Still a high quality unit IMO tho

wow great find guys

**Primoz78** · 11-17-2005, 12:56 AM

I own a 580W U15 (easy con)...and I`m not happy with this PSU, cause my 12V and 5V line isn`t stable...is this trick also usable on U15 series?

Primoz

In the Netherlands the Fortron AX500-A is $80, OCZ Powerstream 520 $159, Tagan 480 U22 $95, 500W Zippy and Seasonic are $158.

AFAIK prices in the UK and Germany are similar.

**NickS** · 11-17-2005, 03:45 AM

Awesome, I must try this on my 480w sometime (when I have the balls).

**Primoz78** · 11-17-2005, 04:14 AM

...just one more question...you said I have to screw for 1/4 of turn...but wich side?...left or right?!

**Primoz78** · 11-17-2005, 07:14 AM

Tedy...I gave up because of this

Going for an Seasonic 600W...

I will tomorrow

**Pyr0** · 11-17-2005, 07:52 AM

cool, thanks alpha0ne, i'll look forward to your results

**VASkO** · 11-17-2005, 08:30 AM

guys do you measure your voltages with a multimeter or only look them up in MBM5 or other SW?

i think the SW is allways wrong. my 12V rail shows from 11.67-11.8V while with a multimeter it's perfectly stable at 12.2V (antec true 430W). what do you think about that? i trust an external reading device more than cheap motherboard sensors.
