AHHH, RRRR! Whats the freak'en deal with my PC power source for my LEDs and Amp?
rackoon:
Does it matter which 5v line? Are they all connected?
Is the 5vsb the right one?
Jess--:
NOT the 5VSB Line (that is 5V StandBy)
just grab the 5V rail from one of the drive connectors
rackoon:
Thanks Jess.
I got one more question though.
Regarding turning this thing on and off, Do I only need momentary contact or can I just twist the 14 wire and the ground together and just use the switch on the back?
RayB:
Momentary.
Jess--:
are you sure on momentary? bear in mind this is not connected to a motherboard, think that a motherboard keeps that connection between pin 14 and gnd for as long as it wants power, then breaks the connection to power off.
