Pages: << < (3/5) > >>

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.
