    MBM 5 monitor on my 12v line 11.80

    You can't trust them.

    Atleast it looks cool whether or not it performs is up to someone that owns one of these, a power hungry system, and a multimeter.

    I'll blow the cash and let you guys know how it does...
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    I'd be more impressed if they tested it with a 6800gt or better in the system and the 3200+ overclocked.

    If there are so many variations on different boards then what shud be used
    to monitor the voltages for there exact values.

    Have never used a voltmeter , is there ne guide to read the voltages using
    voltmeter for a PSU.
    Knowledge is the biggest power.

    MGE is one of those companies I don't trust, simply because I know what they want from a review. Read MikeC's (SPCR's admin) comment, fourth from the bottom.
    I know that they're not unique with doing this, but in the end it means you can never trust a review of a MGE product.

    You have to work very hard to actually need 600 W in an aircooled system, no matter what A @ 12 V number minimum requirement DFI tries to scare you with. A stock 3500+ still uses only 4 A at load, including PWM loss.
