I remember I read that you can short 2 wires from the plug that goes into the mobo, can someone tell me which wires? What do I do when I want to shut it off, short them again or could I just use the switch at the back of the PSU?

I know what everyone's been wondering - 2^33634943-1 IS NOT PRIME. Now, wasn't that worth running <A HREF="http://www.mersenne.com" target="_new">Prime95</A> for a month to know?<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by ytoledano on 12/20/03 04:02 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

Yo
To turn a power supply on without a board, short the green ATX wire to any black wire. To turn it off, unshort it.
