    Low 12V line with Thermaltake 480W. I am looking for a mod!

    Who can help me with a mod to up my 12V?
    I am running a L2 modded Duron1400 that runs @ 2600Mhz @ 2.05V. When I stress it the 12V in MBM will give 11.55 - 11.61V 11.82V measured on the molex. I have search several forums and googled a lot, but can't find a mod.

    Who can help me plz?

    Grtz

    I used to have a TT 420 and I was able to turn it up. There were two pots inside. It's worth a look.

    There is no sens on the 12V and there are no pots in it. I allready looked for that.
    I am searching for a kind of mod that works for the Enermax PSU's. I want to solder somewhere in the PSU a potmeter and can set my 12V by myself. Do you know what I mean? But I don't know where I can solder that potmeter... So maybe you guys could help

    Were there really 2 pots in it? Cause I looked after I bought the PSU, but in a quick look I couldn't find potmeters....

    The TT 420W is a Chieftec 420W, only with an other label on it. Maybe that is why there are pots in it?

    The pots on mine are small blue ones and they were pretty buried. I'll past some pics Mon. Mine is a 420 so they might be totally differant.
    I opened mine up there white not blue. They are on the board under where the power cord comes in.

    that pic is right

    that pic is the same for our 480watt too.
    I just did it.
    But the one on the left seems to do nothing.
    While the one on the right seems to do both the 5v and 12v rails.
