ok question since u jumpered it / short the fourth and fifth connector, is the power supply should work full power? oor just half power? cuz i just noticed my fans on the x-connect running slow compare to when its plugged in to the mobo.

I'm not sure... I use a PSU Testing Unit when I'm not sure if a PSU is dead or not. If it gives me a green light it's good. I think your assumption is correct though.

EDIT:
Be careful with that X-Connect though... I've read they can blow out your entire system (ie: fire).

 

[shortfuse]

Yeah i heard of that too but i had this for a year now with no problem and so does my other x-connect psu. i tweaked the inside of my psu to check if any of the wires touching any open or metallic conductors.

 

[Ty Auchter]

Cool... You should be in good shape then.

I created it so if you have any questions feel free to ask

 

[shortfuse]

my question is when u jump the fourth and fifth connector to power up the psu, the psu should run 100% percent right?

It does not DC power will only produce what is needed. So if it needs 1amp it will try to only produce 1 amp.
But to answer your question yes it will run the same as without the motherboard.
