Thread: Atx Power Good?

thanks for that...

now, which of the regulators do i change for the 3.3V?

what is the "remote" terminal (next to 12V in) hooked up to?

okay, so i can just connect a momentary switch between the 12v and the remote terminal, then then when hit the button, the psu will turn on.

on the 3.3v question, i dont think you are understanding what i am asking. if i use both max787's on the board, i will get 5V on two sets of output pads..... atx mobos will require 3.3V on one of the outuput pads... in order to get 3.3V i need to switch one of the max787's out for a max788. that will give me 3.3V on one pad, and 5V on the other pad...

i was trying to determine which of the max chips to remove. the one next to the cmos, or the one toward the middle of the board. but, i have since figured it out.... you replace the one that i next to the cmos chip. that should give you 3.3V on the pads labeled 3.3V.

oh and about the kit... very well done... the only thing i had a little trouble with was the small parts labeling. i figured out the diodes since they are labeled on the side, but the small capacitors gave me a little trouble. resistors were easy, i used a web page the decodes the color bands on the side and tells you what the values are. oh, the only other prob i had was that a few of the diode leads were too big for the holes, but i filed them down a bit and made them fit... but those really werent that big of a deal. nothing to major that i couldnt handle. i used too much wire on the atx connector, but that is my own fault!!!
