This is what I have to use with the power supply. This is from Deans. Wet Noodle The ultimate wire for full race applications. 12 Gauge silicone wire with an unbelievable 1660 strands, it is so flexible that it feels like a wet noodle! The highest grade of copper and pure silicone insulation provide maximum power and easy soldering. Wet noodle is available in three colors: red, black, & blue. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=WSD1410 |

Yes...pretty much every desktop computer has one. Remove it and look at the specs on the side and post them here and I'll tell you if it'll work...

| Re: FrankenPower! Building a 12V Power Supply
It should be fine. If you look on the side or bottom of the PS. There should be a sticker or label that tells you the Amperage rating of each voltage. For Example +12V = 24A -12V = .8A +5V = 4A.. Something like that...

| Re: FrankenPower! Building a 12V Power Supply
ok mike, here are some pics of the PS I cleaned up the wire mess by unsoldering all the unused ends, jumping the green wire directly back to the pc board on the ground rail, and elimitating the 115/230v ( wont be going overseas)switch by jumping the wire to the pc board again. basically i just did housecleaning on it. so upon flipping the switch the same thing still happens. the LEDs will flash and the fan will turn over for a sec. and thats it. I do have 5V on the blue stand by lead. it seems like there is not enough load on the system to get it to fire up. so what you think? email 01.jpg email 02.jpg email 03.jpg email 04.jpg email 05.jpg email 06.jpg email 07.jpg email 08.jpg email 09.jpg email 10.jpg

Robby, There are two things that I don't see. I don't see the connection of the resistor to 5V and Ground, or the green switch wire connected to the ground...

in the 5th pic down, the green wire goes into the ground block so it is grounded. i removed the resistor for the pics but it was on the red 5volt wire and the black ground wire.
