Title: I don't have a multimeter and i DO have a poor memory
Post by: Brax on December 01, 2002, 08:00:46 pm

Computer power supply plugs. Which wire is which?

My leaky memory seems to think that yellow is 5v and red is 12v.... this right?

It helps  to do a quick web search when you can't remember...  ::)

The web is your friend.  Use it, then don't ever call it to say "what's up"...  ;)

If you notice, its edited. I actually had red as 5 and yellow as 12 originally but a web site told me contrary so I changed it......

thats what you get for trusting the web....

Any hoo..... I got my new computer controlled power relay all hooked up.
