I'm builiding my new system & I have several 200-300 watts psu's. I shorted pin 14 of the ATX 20pin molex with any ground to power on the psu as soon as I trigger the switch on the psu so I won't need to connect it to the mainboard to work.
I attached a fan in the 4 pin molex so I test it out but once I'm switiching it on it goes off immediately. The fan starts & stops.. any hints please why this is happening? ( the psu works great when connected to the mainboard & the fan is an 80mm new one)
I really need this to work for coooling my system. there is pin 9 which is called pwer ok , is it the one stopping the psu from running ?
I'm not worried about any risks. I take safe measures I'm confident with this stuff.
I'm trying to spare some cash mate, I have no doubt in what's available in the market but they're too costy.
Most importantly is I feel way more proud when being able to do something myself than simply letting money do the job. gettin' my point ?
you can screw up your system big time with this. for your sake i hope you know what you are doing. if not then dont do that. get a new PSU which fits your cooling requirements im sure there are plenty on the market...
