power up a power supply?

[DuRaNgO[MU]]

would anyone know how to get a power supply to run without being plugged into a mobo? are there two wires that can be crossed?

Jim???

What do you want to do with it?? Can't you just disassemble it from your PC, and plug it in a wall-socket?? It would make a nice table-fan...

I think...

Beam me up, Jim, Jord

well Jord, I'm on a mission:
argh argh argh
this will be the power for it
in order to have it self sufficient, it needs to power up when switched on from my power center at the same time as the computer

Makes me long for the good ol' AT power supply days. I don't know how to turn on an ATX power supply without it being hooked up to a mobo. Maybe I'm just an old fart, but I like my Igor switches (ala Frankenstein) where I control the power. I don't like it thinking that it knows better than I do.

hehe, I'm considering "trying" a few combos but that could get ugly

damn, when is that stupid mini gonna go away, I've already paid my dues

There is a way to cross two lines, I actually was reading an article on the web about this last night. If I can find it I'll post it. But I think that one of the wires was the Power OK line. More later hopefully

I hate it when your posts don't show up right away. Anyhow, DuRaNgO I found the article I was looking for: http://overclocking.telefragged.com/...utricks-2.html

It's simple switch diagram that should let you do what you want. Hope it helps

U da man! Thanks Rick
stage II complete!

You've got 37 more posts to go before you get rid of that "mini". Yup, I remember the story about how you changed your email addy, but your murc update didn't follow you. I thought that one of the murc admins would have been able to reset your account to your new location...

Yes, it is a bit off topic, but it looks like you found your solution.

[DuRaNgO[MU]]

37? DOH!

[DuRaNgO[MU]]

gone! woohoo
thanks who ever you are
