Cool, glad it helped. It shouldn't be an issue. It depends on your electronics, but I'd hope max voltage on the regulators, FETs, and motor drivers should be well above 12V anyways. Probably a bad idea to use it for a computer anymore, but good enough for a printer.by kratz9 - Reprappers
Yeah, since the last fix I made to the supply its worked wonderfully. No unexpected shutdowns since.by kratz9 - Reprappers
Nevermind again, I keep posting prematurely. Darn thing still shuts off for no reason. Edit: as a last resort, I've grounded pins 1,2,3, and 4. Now there should be no voltage monitoring active to shut down the supply. As a test, like in article I linked to, I tapped the 12v and ground wires together momentarily, and the supply no longer shuts off like it usually would. I'll give this a go on somby kratz9 - Reprappers
Never mind, I should have know, almost as soon as I posted this it shut itself off again. Edit, I think I'm going to try disabling the over-voltage protection by grounding pin three. If that doesn't work, I'll disable the 3.3v and 5v ovp by grounding pins #1, and #2 as well. I'm determined to make this work, and I'm still fairly sure I don't have a short. Edit 2: so far so good with disconnectinby kratz9 - Reprappers
I'm not sure if this method has been posted here before so I thought I would share. I, like many it seems, was struggling with my ATX power supply shutting down during prints. Even with a 2.5 amp load on the 5V rail. Looking around I stumbled on this page, http://planetimming.com/atx_mod/atx_mod.html This person was using the ATX to drive an audio amplifier, which would often trip the over-cuby kratz9 - Reprappers
