Ok heres the deal. I presently have 2 PSU's running the equipment on my system.
Specs
Tyan Tiger 2466
2 x 1.3 Durons
256 ECC Reg Corsair Mem (about to order more!!)
Raidmax 530? I believe? Its 5 something.
Antec True 430w
blah blah blah hardware.... But that covers the majority that should effect most of this. If you need more info let me know and Ill post it up.
Now, I have tested the 12 and 5v reading using several programs. Sandra and MBM for starters. Im presuming they are not both reading them wrong. Both read the 12v at arround 12.59 (cant recall exacts) but the 5v stays around 4.88. As I write this it is actually at 4.93.
From my understandings, this is a little too low.
So, I am curious if I can take and plug the 2nd PSU into the Motherboard, in the molex that is next to the ATX Plug.
Ive been told the 4 pin (square) connecter is what helps handle the 12v, which is fine. So no reason to mess with that correct?
So if I was to do this, would it hurt the board? Or would I need to set the 2nd PSU to start when the system starts? At this point, it is on another switch entirely. (I power it on right before I power the system on.)
So... any help?

Ah yea, one more thing.. I do not have access to the hardware to physically read the power from the lines either.. so I have to go off of software readings... is it possible that I just didnt set it up right on the MBM install? or???
