If it's this unit then there is a good chance it wont work properly and can even have potential catastrophic consequences.

This is why I asked for the model. But there is a good chance it's one of Cooler Masters poor quality units.

Sorry, for some reason I was thinking of corsair cx series. Nope, this PSU is quite dangerous, and will most likely somewhat work, but the 12 voltage drops will probably cause instability if it uses more then 360w.
