Most probably it's gonna read -12v because his PSU has working just fine on his computer. When I measured the voltage of the wires I was using the paperclip method and a simple fan with neon only. | |

| Dec 26, 2013 at 14:32 | comment | added | Yuri Padilha | Hey Miggy! Thank you for your reply! Well, I think I did it already. Anyway I just did it all over again and had no success. Funny I measured all the wires of the PSU again and there's only one negative voltage, which is the blue wire that now reads -39.9v!! I had only a simple fan that lights up a neon connected to it when I tested. To test the PSU in the mobo I connected the CPU power ( 6 pin 12v ), connected the CPU fan in the mobo and connected the 24 pin into the mobo. Am I missing something? I tried to turn it on touching with a screwdriver into the +/- power switch contact. Hope I didOk | |
