Guest JeZuzzz Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Hello, I've got my old pc that I want to upgrade and clean up a bit, so I had some cool idea. Install LED strips! I have no clue about how much my PSU can take so I need advice. Since yesterday I bought these 2 LED strips that are 12v each, and I want to install them on my 2 4-pin connectors of my PSU (VS450, http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vs-seriestm-vs450-450-watt-power-supply) I don't know if I need to inform some more about my other specs, I'll just put the links down below. I just don't want to fry anything in my rig before I attach my led strips.

Guest RTL Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 just don't. and if you do, separate from your computer components. Separate wires and everything
Guest CW4.Sharpz=US= Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Make sure your motherboard and GPU are in a different building PO3
Guest JeZuzzz Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 So thats a "just dont". Okay thanks for letting me now lol.
Guest RET.GEN.Darmine Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Unless you have a lot of experience in doing it I recommend not. You could touch the case and then fry everything. You need to make sure you do a lot of research on LED installs. I recommend not just for the sake of costing you the whole computer if one touches anything.
Guest JeZuzzz Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Okay, thanks for the information and advice sir. I thought it was way much more simple than this.
