LED question

[devlish96]

the LEDS are DC,..so theres a (+) and (-). connect the (+) to the yellow line and the (-) to the black line.

the molex are arraged as:

Y=yellow
B=black
R=red or orange

Y : B : B : R -----molex
(+) : (-)--------------LED

the positive line of the LED usually has a white lines.

thanks!
it doesnt matter how may LEDs i use in a single molex right?

 

[devlish96]

hmm..better make a device..like an extension or a bus


yellow line from molex----(+)1st LED ----(+)2nd LED---(+)3rd LED
black line from molex------(-)1st LED -----(-)2nd LED---(-)3rd LED

i recommend not more than four LEDs

when i used LEDs i made a device like this(see pic)...and attached all LEDS to it

i read that concept while i did some research planning on my mod.i think i'll do that.

the LEDs i bought were really bright so 3 will do i guess.

thanks!

ill be using blue LEDs.
im Mobo LED is green.is it safe to remove it or replace it with blue?Mobo is quite expensive to mess up.

 

[devlish96]

if you know how to change the LED, then you'll be fine. however,...ido not recommend it.

i have changed LEDs before like in my keyboard,it was fairly easy.
im not sure with the Mobo,i havent seen the back yet.

why wont you recommend it?i see some mods without the on-board LED.

thanks,dude!

 

[devlish96]

well,...for one,..i'm a coward when it comes to tampering with the mobo. if youre comfortable with messing around with LEDs and expensive mobos...then youshouldhave no problems

 

[Mirage]

okay...i thought there was some technicality involved.
im a bit of a coward to when it comes to Mobo...LOL
