as you can see, at the bottom of the page it says "For this model, you must use the power supply that with a -5V pin supply.".
bad grammer, but i think it is saying that it requires a -5V pin, usually i dont bother with this sort of thing and just get whatever seems good, but having seen this i began looking for PSUs with a -5V pin, it turns out that the one i was going to buy does not have one (hiper type R if you were wondering), so is this just a recomendation or is this an absolute requirement?

if it is a requirement, what would you suggest getting? thanks in advance :)
 
phew! thanks for that, but out of interest, why did MSI list it then if it comes on all PSUs and why do some PSU manufactures list -5V and others do not, even worse why do the same manufacturers list the-5V on some models while on others they do not?
