Default Putting Load on 5V Line???

Ok so I just got this 550w power supply and I'm wondering how much load i should put on the 5V line to increase the power on the 12V line. I've been told around 5 ohms, will this suffice or should i put more????


Edit:

1. I've heard the term "power resistor" being throw around, and i'm not familiar with this term. Is this different from a normal resistor??
