    Mouse isnt being recognized

    Maybe Windows is just installing generic drivers for it causing the mouse software not detecting it as one of their products. Not sure if their are any specific drivers for it, or updates that are missing.

(v1=20A + v2=20A) = 40Amps (Because of multi-rail, the total amps is more like 36-38Amps) Because of the low +12v rail, this 700w...
