I basically want to hook up alot of lights and fans, and DO NOT want them connected to the same power supply as my expensive PC Components.
Can someone PLEASE do a Lil' Tutorial or Instructional on How To make PSU that runs by its self.
Like a Test Station. That would be good :D
I dont know much about wiring electronics. I have a soldering station, and I can solder wires together, solder L.E.Ds and resistors on and all. . but thats about it.
Any help would be Greatly Appreciated.
simple look for the green wire on the 20-24 pin connector and short it with the black one on its left, then it'll run all connections w/o being plugged into a mobo.
if you need ill do a pic tut
I see 1 green wire and black wires on either side.Quote:

Great Got it Working! You can use either black wire.
Here is what I did. Hope it Helps Someone. Works like a Charm. :D
Whoo Hoo. . Now I can Test Out. . Fans, Leds, and Motors.
and not have to worry about Frying something.
Thats a pretty sweet idea. removeable, and no wire stripping or anything needed. very clever. im impressed.
+rep for cleverness:D
yep, thats the right one, i use it all the time to test cdrom's and fan setups glad i could help
Yeah. I googled it about a month ago :)Quote:

Oh, and make sure you don't short the green wire to the BROWN on accident.
<boom/>
Oh ****. lol
lol dude whats the brownh to that'll make it blow p?
worked for me very smart
thankz
Bucko did a very cool project where he made a test PSU for checking components. He also added a couple other connectors to it to allow connecting bare wires (speaker terminal clips).
What you can do is add a switch on the wire between the green and black, and then you can just click a switch to turn it on when you need it. :D
