Recently replaced my PSU and was checking specs. My old PSU showed a VIN5 and VIN6. My new PSU (Antec Earth Watts Platinum 650) is not showing the VIN5. Is this normal for this specific PSU or is there something else going on here? Any help greatly appreciated!

What's VIN5? If it's -5v, then it no longer is required and the wire isn't there anymore.Thank you for the reply. My old PSU had the following reading:
+3.3V 3.392 V
+5V 5.064 V
+12V 11.877 V
VIN5 2.032 V
VIN6 1.112 V
My current PSU shows this:
+3.3V 3.328 V
+5V 4.944 V
+12V 11.765 V
VIN6 1.256 V
I was wondering why there is no longer a VIN5 reading. My GPU requires 2 connectors. The old PSU had a dedicated cable running to the GPU and then one additional connector from an additional cable. The new PSU has a dedicated cable with both connectors for the GPU. Would that be why there is no longer a VIN5 reading or is there another issue at had? Thanks for any help/advice!! It's greatly appreciated!

VIN5 doesn't match any known voltage from the PSU; therefore it gets it from a motherboard sensor. May I suggest you use a DVM to check voltages instead of software? Are voltages in the BIOS Hardware Monitor within specs? If so, then you can safely ignore Speccy.Thanks, I will check the voltages in the BIOS. I am still curious why they VIN5 number is NOT even showing after replacing the PSU. Or is that something that may show up when I check in the BIOS Hardware Monitor?

It won't show up in the BIOS. You can check the PSU voltages, core voltage, memory voltage, etc. How Speccy reports them is unknown. The free version of Speccy doesn't report VIN5 or VIN6; therefore you probably are not using the free version.
I installed the free version on 2 systems and the voltage results are perplexing. On a system, it reports that the DRAM voltage is 5.038V, +5V is 3.392V, and PCH is 1.524. On the other system, +12V is not listed, but other voltages seem to be correct.

Thank you so much for all the helpful information. Have done what you recommended and everything checks out! Again, thank you for all the help!! It's genuinely appreciated!!
