- Voltages were within the specification except for the -12V rail which went outside
approved limits when the PSU was under load. The -12V rail is not used very
often, especially in new motherboards. There are three type of devices on old
motherboards that require -12V which are RS232/RS485 ports without build-in
circuitry for generating the negative voltage, (mini-)PCI slots and some PCI
sound-cards. These are starting to become very rare, therefore this failure alone is
not enough to render this PSU as faulty or not usable.
