-5v pin supply??

[Rip_Uk]

can someone tell me what exactly this means because my motherboard (Msi k8n diamond sli) tells me i MUST have a -5v pin supply on my psu and can someone please tell me if this psu has a -5v pin supply and if it would be enough to power dual bfg 7800 gtx's?

thanks

Well we need to know what your power supply is

I think you mean you must have a -5V rail? Most PSUs have those but, yes, we need to know your PSU.

at the bottom of this page http://msicomputer.co.uk/products.aspx?product_id=703526&cat_id=77 it quotes

"For this model, you must use the power supply that with a -5V pin supply. "

thats what i meant by it.

can anyone confirm this psu is compatabile with my motherboard?

looking at your specs your psu does not have a -5v rail.

MSI are wierd in this regard. -5v is very old technology.

i got that psu before i saw your post apj101, it doesnt have a -5v rail and my motherboard says the power supply must have a -5v pin supply, but everything seems to be working fine. no problems. What exactly does the -5v rail do?
