Default Led Molex?
I want to put led's in my computer, I was thinking of making the power source a molex connector.

1. Put a negative wire and positive wire on the LED, and just put it in the molex connector.




sorry that it's BMP, forgot that mspaint has bmp as default

wouldn't that overvolt the LED and make them burn out?? Because I think that would be giving the led 12v which is wayyy to many.

Sweet, thanks. If I try it and I don't use resistor and all will happen is the LED will burn out, nothing to the PSU right?

The LED will burn out, you might get a short, you could hurt your self, and you might start a fire. But apart from that, nothing!
