Ghettoputer Power Supply!

you sure you are just not backfeeding 12v into PSU2 making it look like its on when its really not?
 
No, no, NO!!! It's MAGIC!!! :D

And an easy way to test CPU's and RAM.
 
It was an entertaining video. A+ Would watch again.
 
I like you Q. Don't die or anything any time soon. I feel there is much more to come from you...
 
Sooo the power supply was never actually on?

I'll try to figure that out tomorrow. If I unplug it from the wall, and it stays on, then it's backfeed. If it shuts off? Uh... Then I need to tell if current load goes up on PSU #2 when it boots?
 
A single 8-pin ESP connector is enough to power up a fully populate CPU system at idle or no load. Working as designed, no magic.
 
Not sure if this applied to SM 4P boards, but my KGPE-D16 refused to POSt using just one 8pin and two CPUs installed.
 
Yup, just backfeed. I thought the Blue Light was from that John Carter of Mars movie. :(

And yes, this machine will post with one 8-Pin. IIRC, not all do.
