when i power up my psu without it connected to a mobo i always short the green wire to any common / ground on the atx connector. is this the one you mean? or am i thinking of something else

I can't remember which wire it is. Purple powers the motherboard when the PSU is off. It might be the green one...so what does the grey do? I can't remember.

You're probably right.

damn... now i have to know.... stupid curiosity... will post back later with the answer lol

I said it was 16watts not 16volts. Here's the label...

Most motherboards these days do, so they can support Power on by USB support (another distinct possibility here)

This device can be connected in parallel with the ordinary power switch?? Or does it need modification?? And if I get another brand with different specs what should I consider when wiring?? Most important, IF I SCREW UP, will the power supply or the MoBo fry? Forgot to ask, do milliAmperes have any effect on the performance of their respective devices?? What is the intensity of a regular power supply?? (NB: Intensity>>>mA)

Oh, silly me.


Now, we would have a real problem if it _was_ 16v...

Good luck..

this should help you

when ps_on is grounded the psu will start
+5VSB will supply power when the compter is off
