There is a simple work around to this problem posted in the forums.

Here are the measurements you asked for posted over a year ago.

BTW, to be accurate, even though the M1-ATX does allow you to shutdown the +5VSB rail also, it will still consume some power (a few mA at most) though this amount is likely to be substantially less than your car already draws while off.

I read your posts few minuts after.. sorry for the post but I'm kinda hurry, I ordered an opus but in this case I'm going to swap it with an M1, I should be in time
