| Wiring to +5 volt from PC question |
| (1/1) |
| Aceldamor:
Ok...I'm taking a power cable (MOLEX 4 PIN) from my pc and powering my P360s with the +5 and ground... want I want to know is...can I also power my LCD screen and my LED Light board with the same power cable? Or will my P360's drain too much from that 1 lead? I was actually going to just run a +5 and ground to a bus bar and send the multiple power and grounds for all those devices to the bus bar I'm just concerned that that one lead will have too much of a drop in voltage for that 1 wire. I am a total laman when it comes to all this so please forgive me if my verbage isn't correct. Thanks |

You could run out of power. You may need a larger wattage power supply. |

It's unlikely that you will run out of power with a few 5v devices but are you sure the lcd screen and led board are 5v? They both seem like they would be 12v, but that's just a guess. Otherwise I don't see a problem if you have a half way decent power supply. |

If he has the same LCD as me, and I think he does, it's 5v, no doubt. |
| Aceldamor:
Yeah....my LCD screen is currently the same one that Marlaxle does.... I'll give it a shot and see what hapens...after I give my cab an overhaul. |
