power an atx psu without a motherboard
1. connect fans to the psu to place a load on the thing
2. using a piece of wire or a bent paperclip, connect pin 14(green wire) to a black wire(pin 3) in the atx connector that plugs into the mobo 3. plug in the psu 4. it should start up and the fans you plugged in should start spinning. |
