Hello,
Apologies for the following 'newb' question.
Can anyone advise me if there is or should be power detected on the 24 pin atx (20+4) -5 rail ?.
I have just purchased an OCZ PSU, plugged in a Maplin supply tester and find everything lights up except the -5 LED.
I cant boot up my CFX3200 after my Antec PSU died and now only have a yellow standby LED showing on the board so I am wondering if the new OCZ is faulty or not.

-5 Volt rail is no longer used on power supplies. Sounds like your previous PSU may have taken the board with it.

Thanks for the reply Praz.
At least thats nice to know that the OCZ PSU is OK.
I think the CMOS chip must have been hit when it went down but I dont know whether to get another chip or not from GRAINS in Wales.
