depends on how it was made. Those truepowers with the 3 dedicated lines will be ok. Any other will require a load on the 5v to get the full 12v. Why? I don't know. I did this to run my fans and without a load on the 5v I got only 10v out of the 12v. I used a small 5v fan mounted inside the psu and that got me just under 12v at 11.97v.
