All the extra four pins are for extra power usages... i think there extra 12 volts... it should still work
ya, Ive never done it myself but I hear from others it worked, just make sure you got some protection between you and the paper clip, maybe rubber gloves. 1 AMP can do damge to u.
haha, maybe on your tongue...

Umm - you're only talking about 1.6mA - no need for any extra protection here - just stick the paper clip in and don't worry about it.
so if i clip the green+ (any black) together it;ll tun on

Yep. Some PSU's may need a light load to turn on tho so connect a couple fans to some of the molex connectors if your's doesnt power up.

thnx alot i needed to test some fans + lights
i tried green to black on 2 psu and neither worked
Assuming you're still talking about a 24-pin PSU, did you connect pin 16 (PS_ON) to pin 17, 18 or 19 (COM)?
