Hi, thanks beforehand to anyone who can help me or put me straight about this matter.

I just bought a OcUK Huntkey 550W PSU, and installed it today. Its all up and running and it seems my pc is working fine. But the question i ask is that in my bios there is no reading on the -5v rail, its just at 0. My last tagen power supply had a reading there. Is this normal ?

P.S. I checked everything is connected properly several times so i dont think i have not connected anything etc.

Also i noticed there wasn't no specific lead to plug into my ageing AGP card either, so i just plugged in a 12v lead connector, is that going to supply sufficient enough power to my gfx card still?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, it is normal not to have a -5v reading any more, Tagan are/were one of the last manufacturers to bother with it but it isn't needed for any new motherboards (that I'm aware of) and probably has been dropped from the ATX 2.X standard.
