First off - this is my first post, i just wanted to say thanks to THG for being kickass. 'Nuff said.

Now to my question: Can someone tell me what the amperage requirements are on the +12V lead for a GIGABYTE "GA-8I915P Duo Pro" motherboard?
Reason being, I have an ATX PSU I want to use, it's a Raidmax ATX12V 450W.
+3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5Vsb
28.0A 34.0A 14.0A 0.5A 0.8A 2.0A

I had ordered an ASUS motherboard previously, and it required 15.0A on the +12V. I made the decision to return it since the PSU was bundled with the case I bought, and I didn't want to pay shipping to return the case, especially since I really like the case.

So now I want the GIGABYTE "GA-8I915P Duo Pro", but before I order it and possibly need to return it as well, I'd like to know what the amperage requirements are. I know it's an EATX plug, but I can use the 24-20pin adapter.

Can anyone help me out on this? Gigabyte's page doesn't have the amperage specs, I've tried googling it a couple times already, no one seems to mention anything other than the specs advertised on the Gigabyte website. If it's the case that the P4 3.06GHz HT CPU LGA775 (Prescott core)is the reason the board needs more amperage, then I guess I'll have to return the case after all.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
 
The 12v rail is a little low, but I would try it anyway, especially if you're not overclocking. I get by with a 300w sparkle, and my p4 is overclocked by 30%. I've never seen minimal rails posted on any website. It's all based on experience and the wattage requirements of your whole system.
 
Well...I don't want to waste 30 bucks shipping it back and forth if it's the wrong spec. I live in alaska, shipping isn't cheap.
Anyone out there own this particular board, or know where I can find the manual? The only one on gigabyte's site is the RAID config manual.
I may take the chance anyways. I've already e-mailed Gigabyte's tech support, it's been two days and they haven't replied. Yay.

Thanks.
