My car voltage read 9.5V today
I was hoping the M2-ATX would shut off the rail at 11.0V but appparantly it doesn’t. I’ll probably have to change the setting to some value with a hard off instead of using never.

In optimizing my bios, the key things I did was disable automatic drive detection. Also, any features that had options that included auto I made sure to select from the list instead of using the auto option.

It was a bit of a pain, but at least it isn’t snowing yet and the temperature was still above 60f. I would guess it took me about an hour or two. What this means is that now instead of having the 12v going to both the 12v and acc connectors on the m2atx the 12v has 12v and the acc is now connected to a proper 12v switched line for the car.
I have the m2-atx set to 3 hours before it powers off, and to never shut off the +5v. I’ll have to see if this is a good idea. I think now that the power supply will see no voltage on the acc line that it will automatically shut down when the voltage goes below 11v. I’m still trying to understand the logic of the m2-atx. I don’t know why they couldn’t just have an option to keep it powered all the time unless the voltage drops to low. I don’t get this whole time thing I could care less if it is only on for 15 minutes or 30 minutes after I just of the key. I would like it to stay on as long as it can. This way I can go to baseball games etc and if I have a large enough battery the computer would be where I left it when I get back.
