schoolslave Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Is it safe to jump start a psu without it having a on/off switch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Is it safe to jump start a psu without it having a on/off switch? Shouldn't be a problem; only difference is you'd use the hotwire as the switch instead of the one on the PSU. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolslave Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 alright, because I plan on using this old 160W 4.5amps/12v PSU form y watercooling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3stars Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 yeah one wire into the green one then ground with any of the black ones. if it's an old psu no problems but most new ones have under volt protection. i have a old "AT" style one for priming my water cooling they have a switch built in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolslave Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 This PSU is from an old pentium 3 machine. Lol. It works though, I tested it with a multimeter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
