Haw many Amps

Jongamer · Post by **Jongamer** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:57 am

I need the Amps Data for the 3 Voltage Lines.

mainly so I can rig up a Computer PSU to my Dreamcast (PSU blown), and some decent power regulators to pull the Amps/Voltage.

The Computer psu all got 3 5 and 12 volts line, no need for any regulator, if you psu is like 120watts, there<d be no problem ( and even lower)

Ok I see where I can get the 12v and the 5v, but where do I get the 3.3v?

EDIT: Nevermind found it.

Thanks for the help, even though it was simple.

So Orange Wires are 3.3v, Red ones are 5v, and Yellow Wires are 12v.
sounds simple.

Ok once I get home from School tonight, I'm gonna take the PSU out of this crap computer I got and lucky for me it has a power switch on it, and rig that up till I get a Better Dreamcast for Cheap (For 5 bucks cheap at Goodwill)

You are going to have to "jump" the green wire on the ATX plug to a black wire to start the power supply btw.

So just Solder the Green wire to the Black wire?
CAN DO!

EDIT: Works, thanks for the Help.
