    12v to 5v converter board for PSU

    The three converter option sounds like it would work best in my situation. I'm glad for your help. If you could point me to a data-sheet or product that fits the bill I'd be glad to read up. As for implementation and plumbing these inline with the PSU any thoughts you have on that would be...

    12v to 5v converter board for PSU

    Thanks for the help. The solution sounds great coming from you, but you'll have to excuse my ignorance. How many of these would I need to work with a 50 drive system and just to clarify this for myself, these will do what I was looking for which is basically steal a few amps from the 12v rail. I...

    12v to 5v converter board for PSU

    Hello all, This is all just hypothetical and may not work, but here goes. If I had an atx power supply, say 860 to 1000 watts with 60 amps on the 12v rail and say 30 on the 5v rail is there a way I could go about making a converter that would convert the 12v@60amps to 5v@ 60 amps leaving me...
