Found this video after I jump started my evga 500w. Have been up all night with no sleep building my first gaming PC for my son. Already had an Amazon return scheduled for MSI Mobo and the PSU since at the time didn't know which caused the problem. Anyways my connections were all correct so I was dumbfounded. Saw a video about testing my battery with paper clip. I didn't have one so I used a piece of wire that I use to build vape coils with🤣 Tested with 4 fans and left running a few minutes. Then I reconnected the 24 pin to the Mobo and pushed the PC power button and suddenly I was jumping up and down quietly (it is 5am😁) with the biggest grin because everything powered up!!! I was so sad for my son, as this is his B-day gift, so I couldn't sleep. Sat down and by coincidence saw this video and felt I had to share here. Anyways looks like I have to cancel the returns. Thx
Wait sorry my pc isn’t working right now but my psu is working when I jumpstart it but when I connect it to my motherboard it doesn’t turn on. It was working fine for months but one time I tried to turn it on and it just wouldn’t. Either way I just wanted to ask exactly what you did? Because I left mine jump started and running then reconnected it but it still wouldn’t work
@@bilobatelamp3825 then your power supply is dead
This made me almost cry you are such a good parent m.
We aren’t all rich and you to care about your son enough to go through all this trouble to get him a nice computer is really choking me up. I can imagine how sad you were, I just purchased myself a quadro before I found out it won’t get enough juice to power on even though i purchased a sata to six pin adapter. . I don’t have a lot of money but even so I wound up getting a great deal on a gtx 1650 and I’m so happy because now I have a great computer, but if it was for my child I would be so sad :’( I hope it all worked out!
That paperclip idea was awesome. I was breaking my head trying to find a jumper cable for the last 2 hours. Thanks brother.
Worked wonderfully! Shows that the power supply is fine. Must be the motherboard. Just opened and set up the computer without testing it outside of the case first. I need to find out exactly what the problem is! Disassemble first and then work on it
Thank you very much for the video! Much easier to find it on RUclips than talking through the phone with the manufacturer
Also my power supply won't turn the fan on without heat so I was wondering if this would work. It did. Fsp hydro pro 650w if anyone wanted to know. The reviews on this were all very good. I am very thankful for this jump test
5 years old on this vod.... so you know your still helping people with relevent content even at the ripe age of 5 years posted kudos and thanks for the vod water cooling loop on the 3090 i9 10900k combo be leak testing as we speak
Thank you Isaiah. This video was clear and useful and I have bookmarked it and come back to it many times. Thank you.
Thanks for teaching me that a nice jumper adapter came with one of my old EVGA cards. I never realized that's what it was for! Feel like an idiot now! lol
Thanks. I used a Corsair's Psu for 7 years and this week my PC didn't turn on. I opened the PSU and noticed a capacitor pretty loose. I did your test and confirmed the suspection.
A very good video on testing a power supply unit!
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this. Building a case for just housing HDDs with no mobo and needed to be sure I would jump the correct pins.
I still reference this video to people to this day, thank you man.
Thanks for this video! Easy to follow and informative!
thank you so much. will be trying this soon. also great mention of the paper clip because i wasn’t sure if it would actually be a suitable option.
Thanks a lot!
That was just what i needed! direct to the point!
great video! thumbs up and subscribed!!
Great Video Bro thank you! I watched your review on the GTX 1650 last night (after I purchased the card) and found out my PSU doesn't have a PCI-E supplemental power cable. So I am going to purchase a new PSU today and until I fully upgrade my rig I thought it would be easier to just use a second power supply after watching several tutorial videos (it seems easy enough) I saw your video I recognized your Overclockers Club logo and was like "cool I already know this guy knows what he's doing" Keep it up!
Thanks! Yes you can use a second PSU. The other option since it only draws 15 watts from the PCIE connector is to use molex-6pin adapter. Total card draw under stress is 88 watts overclocked.
@@overclockersclub thank you for the reply! That's awesome I'm definitely looking forward to getting it up and running and OVERCLOCKING it :)
Thanks! I was going to power my GPU with an external supply and glad I found out about this, Cheers
Thanks! This was extremely useful!
Great tips and easy to understand. Thanks!
Super helpful! I can understand it! Thank you for your help!
had no idea this was a thing. Thanks!
Thanks for this, was just looking for this because I want to do some troubleshooting on my PC and wanted to power the GPU from a borrowed PSU.
Thanks to you im called the MCGuyver of my Company xD i freaking felt like a god after the paperclip trick worked
Great tips with the black wires.. helps a lot man .. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for this, really didn't want to risk frying a PC after replacing the fan on a power supply. Was funny, a guy was supposed to come by to buy that PC off of me, he didn't show up which was lucky, minutes before the appointment the PSU fan started being very loud out of nowhere!
Just this friday a PSU died on me MID-SALE so it seems to be a cursed time with PSUs for me haha
Nice and crisp information. Can't make a mistake.
Thank you so much bro this worked like a charm
Thank you. Turns out it's the motherboard. Both power supply s work. I should have done this test before I bought a new power supply.
Nice, deserves more views!
Great video, short and to the pint. Kudos!
Well.. Point as well, I suppose... You can keep the pint.
Thanks!
Awesome! Going to attempt to do an eGPU setup on my MSi laptop with an AMD RX580 but the mPCIe to PCIe adapter doesn't have a mechanism to activate the PSU to the video card. This helps a lot!
Hey love the video man! I used this method to power my DIY decor in my gaming room. If you wanna know, its just some RGB case fans mounted onto a wall
Great video. You saved my bacon! Thank you.
Just finished my cpu loop today, thanks for this video man
No problem 👍
Thank you for the video. I have forgotten how to do this. I use to do this to test my vapochill.
Great bro..you describe very well
Perfect. Worked flawlessly. Thank you so much for the detail.
Thanks bro GENIUS!
Really helpful guide thanks
Thanks for updating.
Excellent, thanks for the video and explanation. LOVE your classic Donkey Kong tee. (DK rules!!)
Rule of thumb: Look for a green wire and any black wire in the 20+4 connector. Short the green and black together and it should start up.
Good video my guy
Thank you. You solved my problem.
Thanks helped me to check my seasonic 750w
Thanx Buddy.. Very Helpful :)
Thanks bro this worked perfectt
Thanks for doing the black wires too! I was like… okey… green and black, but mine are all black! :(
Hehe
I turn it on, and off it goes! no sir, you turn it on and on it goes! LOL
Thank you, your video is very helpfull
Fuck yes man, thank you. Great video! Straight to the point! Helped me save a lot of headache! Love it!
I love you so much!!! Ahhh!! THANK YOUUUUU
thanks super informative. helps s lot.
My jumpstart is successful but, the fan is turning slow? Is my power supply need to replace?
Thank you you fixed my problem😘😘
Thanks great information
Thank you!
thanks really help 👍🏻
Nice one cheers for that
Superb bro..thanks
i jump start psu to test cus my pc dont work no sign of power but when i jump start psu works fine it spin and staff. but i also try to jump start mobo it didnt, what is the issue i plugg allll cable right to!
Great it works now I know how to jump start the psu
Wait so did u keep it in after it worked or u took it out
thank you sir
works either on 5th or 6th paired with 4th
Thanks a lot bro :)
Thanks man
Thank you my friend
can I turn on a really old one which has 2 connectors with 6 wires each, instead of a 24pin connector and one with really thin black and red wires?
Thanks!
Great video.
What are all those tools showing in the beginning of your video.
thank you!
Can we turn on cabinet with that?
Im building a new PC so I just have
PSU and cabinet because of lockdown so I wanna test both of them can i?
Hmmm a little help would be appreciated
I jump start my PSU and It's ON for any time I let it that way,
but when I connect something to any of the 12v rails it turns OFF..
Any ideas where to look for bad parts?
I'm glad I found your channel great info on here I left you some messages on overclocking if you have time I'd appreciate it I'm one of your videos
Wouldn't shorting the 12v and 5v lines not matter because the power supply isn't on?
Here is a silly question. Could I use an LED as the mechanism to short it? That way I could see a light too. I read that the voltage of the green wire is 0.06 volts.
thank you, very helpfull
thanks man! cheers
Thank You.
What are the chances of the PSU being OK, if the fans work when testing it with the paperclip method after the wrong voltage explosion?
Good info, thx
1 2 3 4 put the paper clip into the hole !
very useful!
Thanks a lot !
I've seen in one video they're using 20+4 and thus short 16 and 17 however for a 24 pin it's somehow different and you need to short 18 & 19? Or am i wrong?
I just tested my new psu thanks this worked great!
Assuming I don’t have an extra LED to connect to, and forgive me if this is a dumb question but I just want to make sure, I’m guessing that the power supply would turn on either way and be running regardless right? So it should be easy to tell
Yes it will turn on either way. This is just a demonstration because not all Power Supplies internal fan will turn on if the temps are low enough making it impossible to tell without powering something. Hence why I used a fan for the demo.
I have a 10 year old Dell Vostro 430. It won't power on. I ordered a new pus today before seeing your you tube. Would this work
yes done nice video
Hi I have a 8 pin motherboard not a 24/20 pin I did the paperclip trick and it worked then when I plug the 8 pin plug and the 4 pin
(4 pin for the cpu) it turns off it's not the motherboard because the old psu works fine with it the old psu was a 4 pin for the CPU and a 8 pin for the motherboard any help?
Of course, it does not matter which black wire you connect 1 end of the paper clip to. All black wires on a colored harness are ground wires.
Not all people know that. Have u thinked of that?
@@revolution5547, obviously, yes, I have 'thinked' of that.
A helpful video, straight to the point.
Great, but where to connect the Other side of the cable? Example, Thermal take has multi-cables bag, which to connect?
Thanks for the video sucks to find out my psu is dead tho😢
I came to thank again,.
hi ive got a pc power supply that has a 5v standby ...how would i jump this to make ps to power on outisde of pc...i tried green to ground but no work,,,i beleive its because this ps is a new form factor not old school
Hey thanks, my son has a cyber power c series and the cpu fan would just twitch but never come on, he said it got up to 180 degrees the other day and the computer is shutting down while he’s gaming. So I can’t figure out if I need to get a new cpu fan or maybe the psu isnt doing its job there. Idk if he’s jacked with the settings in bios or what cause I don’t know much about computers but I wanna get it back up and running so I can install EZDrummer 2 that I just bought to play my kit through. Any advise would be appreciated.
If the system shut down from CPU overheating, that would be my main concern before the PSU.
hello are u still there, i have a problem, i have 2smps, each smps feed each graphic card with 1 motherboard, when i jump start smps,after jump start ,my gpu fan speed max, i worry about this, what should i do?
Thanks broo..
Nice and work for me.. but fan running slow.. can i use for 2 vga 1070? Is it save??
I'm using 4 video cards with a Seasonic Ultra Plat 1000 Watt. I would use the paper clip trick though, because its best to have both power supplies start at the same time for video cards. especially if you are powering the board PCIE slots with one and the video cards with another. I suggest buying a PSU splitter so they turn on and off simultaneously. Its the safest option.
Thanks bro,
Ok so I can’t probably wait for answer but I have my first water cooled PC built and ready to leak test and system prep the loop/clean etc. I bought a water pump testing wire that’s 3 pin to sata but I can’t take it off the other board because the gpu blocks it and I’d have to tear down the loop which defeats purpose.
So just do this jump with wire and it will run my pump only? I have complete pc built and wired up, fans and lights etc etc.. it’s completely rdy just needs coolant but I have to flush and use prep fluid for 72hrs etc. doing this will run the pump only? Seems like it would run fans and lights etc.. I do not want to blow up my Corsair ax1600i or new mobo ROG Maximus hero Xi.
Actually that grey PSU in the video was used to run a D5 pump and a few fans only for over a year. Most people prefer to have it all on the same PSU because you don't want you pump to turn off on its own. Its good for priming the system or doing a leak test.
this works whilst i jump it i unplug it and it stops i have tried leaving it on for a few mins jumped but nothing please help
