The Opus 90W and M1 don't have this problem because they can be jumper configured to disable the +5VSB rail. The M1 however has a very minimal 12V rail. I doubt it will be able to power your Athlon XP based system.
thanks for the patience
I was using M1 for the system but it died on his own, it was sufficient for my system without dvd-rom and I was thinkint about coupling it with another psu I have, which is capable to output about 5A on the 12v regulated rail, so I was thinking about using it to power 12v devices like cd or fans
but I think I'll go with opus.
and by the way, it's absolutely STUPID that a 200bucks psu is not capable of cut the 5v rail if I want to. I don't bother if it is an ATX specs, I really don't care. I want to cut that damned rail
come on I don't think it would be so difficult to implement YOUR mod in the opus logic.. I sinecely hope that opus solutions will fix this and implement something like the M1 jumper configuration and maybe an amplifier remote signal, programmable too. This PSU deserves it, especially for his price
