Antec Truepowers have independant monitoring of the voltage rails (+3.5V, +5V & +12V), with no max ampage except the PSU~model (350w, 400w, ect) max for all three rails combined. So loading the 5v rail will do nothing for the 12v or any other rail with these PSU's...

The independant 12V rail is a boon if you're buying a Nforce2 mobo. Some, or all,(Abit for sure) use the 12v rail to power the CPU instead of the 'traditional' 5v rail...
