I am doing a new custom build and needed longer wires coming from power supply to the ATX 12V 2x4 plug. I decided to save a little money and splice in an extension into the wire. I cut the yellow & black wires to get ready to add in the wire when i realized i made a dumb mistake and forgot to label each one. in the gigabyte manual it tells that 1 through 4 pins are the GND and 5 through 8 are the +12V.
I am confused because it says for 1 and 2 by the GND in brackets (only for 2x4-pin 12V). and for 5 & 6 it says +12V (only for 2x4-pin 12V). i have opened the power supply to try and figure out if its labeled and all they say is +12V 1, +12V 2, +12V 3.
i guess my real question is, are all the yellow +12V and GND wires the same? if i hook them up by their color, will i have problems and or fry my motherboard.
thanks
