yes it is. -5V was only used by the isa slots. And without isa, there is no |
| 9 |
need for -5V. So it was dropped in one of the many ATX standard versions some |
| 10 |
time ago. If you have a fairly recent mobo without isa slots, you won't |
| 11 |
need -5V. |

worst case, the box won't boot. But there is no risk of blowing up anything |
| 22 |
(except when the PSU is faulty). You could ask the support of your mobo's |
| 23 |
vendor if you want to be on the absolut save side. |
