im useing a supply with no mobo and 100ohm works fine.

And so you think this applies equally well to ALL power supplies?

green wire to black ground starts them up, but put
a load on them first like youre drives.
only the motherboard needs power good.
if running with no load, use a 5watt 100ohm resistor
accross the 5v+ to black ground for a dummy load.

100 ohms may be too high. 5 ohms probably better. But an
automotive
taillight (incandescent) or dead harddrive also should work.
