Using a Computer PSU without a computer
Hello, I'm wanting to use a computer PSU as a PSU. The one I've just bought
doesn't work. I'm assuming that's because it needs a computer. So.... what does the motherboard do, maybe connects the grey to the green, or the purple to ground, or...does anyone know please?? Simon |

And also ground the green wire to turn it on. Well...possibly green.
IF it's one of them there proprietary ones it might not be the green wire...but usually it's the green one. ryan wiehle wrote: simon lloyd wrote: Hello, I'm wanting to use a computer PSU as a PSU.
