My watercooling system

[patrickcyr]

hi,

I'm doing my annual cleaning of my watercooling system and as usual, I drain it and I fill it with vinegar and make in run in the loop for about 30mins. My problem is that I want to turn on my watercooling water pump without having to turn on my entire computer... I know there's a trick with the 24 pin motherboard connector that your can bypass 2 wires and it's going to turn on the power supply. anyone know wich wire is it?

thanks

"You need to take the 20/24 pin connector on the PSU and look at it head on. when looking at it there will be one green wire and about 5-10 black ones on it. To turn on the PSU you must connect the green one with ANY of the black ones. Either of the adjacent ones generaly are the easiest to connect with and are the ones I prefer. the connection can be done with a piece of solder or a paper clip put in the psu socket pins. Once connected, the pump will come to life and you can start checking for leaks."

Some older psu are sometimes brown generaly the psu will tell you which is the psw-on color
