As far as I know, it's just there to tweak the rails to be more in line with PC voltage specs. Turning it up a volt or so should cause any issues as long as it doesn't go up higher than that. Generally, I'd shoot for no more than 13.5v just to be safe. Of course, the 5 and 3.3v rails will go up as well, but you're not using it for a PC anymore...

Also BE CAREFUL when you stick something in there to adjust the pot while the PS is running. There are dangerous DC voltage levels in there and can cause severe shock!!

If at all possible, use a well insulated screwdriver to adjust it. Better yet, use a TV tuning screwdriver (all plastic) if you can find one.
