I like your idea putting the light in the circuit so you know the PSU is on. Safety is #1.
Very handy mod!
There are many fancier designs but this one is quick and simple. It is sufficiently accurate for small motors, lights, and low-power car-audio testing/troubleshooting.

Super.
Thank you for not playing music. 🖒👍
Found this 2 years to the day. Awesome video man!
Thanks! This is no modding version, you might like it ua-cam.com/video/10n6lCUP9_Q/v-deo.html
simple crude and efficient .no music, no bullshit pices no flashy colours .perfect
Sadly no explanation as well...
Super video. I was expecting this without much parts joints. Love it.
oh man I have been retired so long I forgot what a watch was..( I threw mine in a drawer the day I retired and never looked back..) Man what a life, having to live by one of those again would kill me.. I know it is day or night, the rainy season or the dry season.. I know the year and on a good day maybe the right month.. But I do play with things like this day after day in the winter time.. fun stuff.. He's pretty handy with those snips! Not what I would call fancy.. but it works... I can't wait until he does the next one!
Well maybe I should say, it was a little fast so I will adjust the speed of my playback, plus I will watch it more clearly. Thank you for the time you took to make this video.
Nice cold solders! You heat the wires then apply solder to the tinned wires, not the irons tip.
It's nice to see someone else besides me wrapping the leads before soldering.
At around 5:00, you drill holes through the metal case, just above the circuit board. That is NOT recommended. Removing the circuit would be best, but if you're lazy (like me), you can put a large piece of duct tape across the inside bottom of the side you are drilling. Stick the bottom edge onto the case and let the sticky side drape over the circuit board. Any metal shavings will be caught on the tape instead of shorting out your board.
VERY GOOD I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT THANKS FOR THE INFO............

You stepping backwards.Today we using battery’s,no wire mess.Nice video....
This was the first step to arduino cnc machine...
One thing that kills me. We all clicked on the video so we can anxiously await the part where the screws are removed from the cabinet. That part is so freaking exciting.
For someone who is trying to learn this video doesn’t cut it
Great job Sir, I like your approach. ...very simple and clean. .... 👍
I guess it does job for you and it serves its purpose, however with just a little bit of effort and couple tiny changes alongside you could've made it slightly more capable and closer to that of "endless possibilities".
If you bundled same color/voltage wires together you could've pulled out more current/power on each of three outputs (3.3V, 5V, 12V).
This workaround is fine for motors, heating but it's probably not much useful for low-power electronics neither it's stable enough as it is. To get around that, it's often useful to connect a 10W resistor as a dummy load to one of 5V outputs (since 5V output provide more current). By doing so, PSU detects load and provides stable voltage and current across all 3 outputs...
As a alternative you can also power on psu by shorting green wire with black on ATX connector using switch and so on...
Those are just a few from top of my mind, as you can find yourself many good variations on internet...

I would like to make a nice and useful power supply, do you have a video or recommend one to use for my build? I will try to use your notes from here.
Very True.. but you have to start your experimenting slowly.. that way you do not miss the little things later.. When you do it big!
GOOD.
Can we use any other electrical device as load instead of load resistor? For example a fan or light bulb?
that metal band on your wristwatch is just looking for something to contact.
Buen video gracias por compartir sus conocimientos lo intentaré saludos desde Cali Colombia felicitaciones
I would have never thought to mount it externally like that. I have done put block on outside and posts.
Very good job. Congratulations and thank u 4 sharing with us!.
Not that new because there are many simmilar video's, but nice try. Little tip: if you use a screw on terminal do not solder the cable ends because on the long run the solder will ooze out under the pressure of the bolt an will make bad contacts. Better to use a crimp on cable shoe, or the bare wires.
or simply become brittle and snap off under pressure from the screw. Not so bad if you are using rising clamp blocks.
I like that, nice and simple. Many of these types of videos are way overcomplated imo.
so only wire with 5 and 12 volt using. good video tutorial.thanks
Wow Superb Idea Fantastic 👍
Très bonne vidéo simple, claire👏
I love Old pc power supply I used to recharge diferentes batteries and test diferentes circuits regulated voltages using 24v 12v 5v 3v and 1v amazing I connect also my circuits many many great uses charging many items at the same time I have like for in different places around home I use my inverters and plug tv stereos motors ,thanks for sharing!!!!!
thanks for the beautiful precious videos
Can you re-upload this in regular speed with captions or voice over? I'd love to do this as I have 2 extra psu's
you can adjust the speed in the settings menu on the video itself.
@@badger67 Yea but I think the slow speed isn't enough to slow it
Innovative Works... Super Job...!!! Thanks.
Tnx, this was just basic, watch this video for something more advance ua-cam.com/video/10n6lCUP9_Q/v-deo.html

I am a ZERO on electrics...so this guy for me is a STAR ...hehehe
Thanks.nice video.
Everything superb but atleast could have shown the wire voltages... Which wire for which voltage
So ghetto but so good. Thank you. This is very inspiring.
Nice ideas with that motors and LEDs... I just waked up by the clipping sounds of that video and thought "meeeeh whats that weired sound" lol :)
screw that PSU!
in 2017 you still have the Acer 5920? RESPECT MAN! :D
Muito bom meu amigo, parabéns pelo seu trabalho!
Gratidão, vitória da luz!
Job well done,I like the idea.
Thanks, I'm preparing chepter II, stay tuned

I like it. Why add the green/black power switch though, instead of just using the existing switch by the existing socket?
It is easier for me because it is on front side, always trying to find that back switch with my fingers LOL
Mirko Ivkovic Fair enough - and it does fill up that finger-sized hole in the case too!
I'm gonna add some 5W resistors but otherwise copy your plan. Easier than drilling holes for plugs!
Dundee. for my first 65 watt psu from 1999, I just combined the long wires by colour and put alligator clips on them. 12 v, rail max 2 amp I am planning to do a proper one for my second with holes and all.
2:40 I don't like that part. You should've snipped them from the board or unsolder them.
Now, this is efficient..no bla bla bla wasting time. some peace and quiet while still getting it done!
You had me up until you pulled out the hot glue gun!
Insulator
Well done.
I have it here which, via a cigarette
lighter plug or direct 12V. which I use a compressor, or vacuum cleaner, evento 5V. USB.Even a moto-klaxon + Flashlight as adoorbell. As a power supply you can use anything at 12-5Volt or 3 + Volt.But otherwise I have all the special toolshere, I don't build something I can buy.
Valeu, eu fiz e ficou top!
Gratidão pôr compartilhar!
I bet you could take over the world if you could figure it out
You'll need a thicker gauge wire to withstand the output current
Do you even know from which material is the wire....and how much resistence I measured
от мастерство ))) повыводить из блока имеющиеся напруги и подсоединить все проводочками )))
Это не каждому под силу! Особенно щёлкать выключателем и совать в клеммы провода!
Thanx dude! I'm interested on your Screw Driver!
can you please explain how do you build it?
He's an expert in building screwdrivers! :-)
full clear methods good
nice video
Hi! I have 3 power supply. I want to make a project ..1. Charger for all devices. Iphone, android and smartwatch also 2. When a car needs a jumper... can I do that whithout many modifications?
I will just say dont do that.
Very nice fast forwarded video to pack it up in shortest time to follow properly, for the different connections, it would be better to write with marker on the smps which tool needs which port, and, whats the rating of the little dc motor? seems perfect for all purpose needs.
Yeah, "endless" possibilities, but always make sure to switch the power supply off before connecting or disconnecting anything, otherwise the protection can kick in and shut down the power supply permanently❗ 😉
Using them for years. Shorted many times, always turn back on :-)
Great vid
Not too much clever. But can work properly.
Thanks. Thank you so much.
What do you think about this one ua-cam.com/video/10n6lCUP9_Q/v-deo.html
So the yellow is 12v?? And if I were to put 3 yellow wires on the block. Would I get 12v for each yellow wire? 🤔 So I could hook up a mutable 12v devices. To each yellow wire???
Yes, three couples of yellow - black wires are three 12 volts outputs
Nice idea thanks man
Mirko Ivkovic, tu video e idea son excelentes, con todo lo que se puede hacer, pero tendras un manual para seguir paso a paso y lograr tener una fuente con todas las opciones que muestras?? Saludos.

it works, but by not combining the wires by color he loses most of the aps of the psu. If you want it to run a heavy motor, you gonna need the amps.
Not necessarily, on cheap PSU's like this all the wires of same colour/voltage are actually connected together on the circuit board and come from the same SINGLE output, be it 12v or 5 v, if you want to draw a lot of current then it is just safer to combine the wires at the user end as together there is less heat and stress on 2 or 3 wires than one.
MG Samps,
When I started reading your comment, I was wondering why you were seemingly disagreeing with boowonder888... But, it turns out, you were just explaining it a little better, but basically he meant the same thing you said. I was just confused there for a second. ... Never mind. ;-)
Robert, boowonder's answer is misleading in that he implies by not using ALL of the same coloured wires that we would get less current capability, which is wrong as they ALL normally terminate to the SAME solder pad of the pcb and have just a single output stage for each voltage rail (the extra wires of the same colour) are used to power other parts of the computer like multiple HDDs etc, you would still be able to draw the same current with one wire but it may get quite hot if you're using the total current stated on the PSU case for that power rail . More expensive psu's from the likes of the top end Corsair's, Enermax etc will have 2-3 SEPARATE 12v and 5v circuits with their own rectifiers and filtering, if the psu states 3 x 12v@20 amps, 2x5v @30amps then his point makes sense, but that would not be the case in that crappy Chinese psu he is using or ones like it.
MG Samps
I don't remember any mention of multiple rails...
I invite you to do the math.
There are destinations for those wires that require more than one wire in order to supply enough current for that particular device or circuit. Why would they do that? How many yellow wires are connected to your graphics card? Are you saying that one wire would be sufficient? As you say, the wires all go to the same pad for any given color. There is maximum current potential at that spot. To assume that each of those wires can carry the full load is absurd.
For any given current capacity there is a corresponding gauge of wire that is required to carry that full load safely, all by itself. You need at least that size by adding a number of individual wires. That is the only way to carry the max current available using those wires. Usually it's just a few. The only thing wrong in what he wrote, is the amount of wires that you'd need. Definitely not all.
On the other hand, if what you are saying is correct, why is it that there are usually only two 12V rails on an average, modern PSU, and yet there are more than 2 yellow wires going to your graphics card?
Because 2 yellow wires are just not enough. That's why.
Now if you're still reading this extremely long comment, it means you care. If you care, you should do the math.
Robert, I think you misunderstand my point, as I already stated "(the extra wires of the same colour) are used to power other parts of the computer like multiple HDDs etc" if they didn't then as I pointed out each single wire would not be enough to cope with the load. BUT if you took a single yellow wire for example and were stupid enough to try and draw the maximum rating of that psu by using a clamp meter it would still read close to the maximum amperage rating but overload the single wire. So boowonder is correct in grouping all the wires together to SAFELY draw the max current but implied you wouldn't get the max current by using a single wire, and that also implies that each same colour wire was using separate circuits on the psu which it doesn't in most cases. hope we've cleared that up.
Well done
Falto indicar los voltios que representa cada color....buen aporte graciad
Hello, I get the same one when I power between the green and black wire, I turn the fan in slow motion when I reverse it on the side does it work hard?
Thank you in advance for your answer /

Bonjour je souhaite avoir 16 ampères en 12v est c'est possible ou il faut rajouter une resistance de 10w
Since we can get 3.3 to 5.00 Volts DC through Computer SMPS, can it be used to charge mobile (its current rating is , I think 5 Amps DC).If so, Mobile Battery may loose its life early because of high rating of charging.Clarification requested.
odlicno video druze, prosto i za neuke potrebno! Pitanje, zasto sluzi plava i narandzasta zica?
Hvala! Plava je -12V pa u kombinaciji sa, recimo, zutom (+12V) daje 24V ali sa amperazom plave koja je skoro uvek ispod jednog ampera. Narandzasta sa crnom daje 3.3V. Napravio sam napredniji video gde nema unistavanja napajanja, pa ako te zanima evo linka ua-cam.com/video/10n6lCUP9_Q/v-deo.html
@@clueless3891 gledao i to video, to je prekomplikovano za mene :), ovo ovde ti je bomba
As has already been mentioned, a running commentary would have been better, not everyone knows what colour wires give what voltage. The video was good but could have been better..Thumbs up still.
Thanks, my english is very poor... Sorry. I have made advanced version, take a look. It is with music,also no running commentary... ua-cam.com/video/10n6lCUP9_Q/v-deo.html
Mirko, what is the difference if I put all the wires from the same voltage level in place of just one as you did ? Thank you for your good video.
It depends on power supply, I don't recommend it
Fucking Magician of 2017 bloody hell
how many amps is output from each red 5v wire i need to make three outputs 5v 4A each...how do i do it
You should read the specifications of your power supply. The amperage is the total for each voltage output. So the less outputs for each voltage, the more amperes you get for each output.
GRACIAS ME AYUDASTE MUCHISIMO
many supply have no.greeen.wire than.how to statrt them..

bro green or black wires se kafi supply purani wali on nhin hoti... unko kese on kren???
All PC power supplys have green wire.

Can I use the 5v to power the arduino and does it really matter if you combine all the wires of each color instead of having one wire form each color ?
nice
That watch makes your hand look small and fat. Edit: good job insulating the exposed wires with melt glue!

Kako smanjiti amperažu koja je zadana po PSU(od 10 do 16A) jer neke komponente nećeju raditi na tako velikoj amperaži(pr. ako traže do max 1A)?

good one, thank you
nice watch bro👍⌚💲
blue + yellow = 24v ?
Yes, but with small amperage
extremely helpful , thank you a lot :)) keep it up
What is the blue wire for ? (-12 v)
Is he any better than yellow? (+12 v)
Thought we might get instructions on how to make such a useful tool but at that speed only demo on outcome
New videos coming soon, subscribe
which wire can you tell to use. I tried using any of the red wire or black and can't get power. If I use all red and all black, I can get 12 V.
Red and black 5v and yellow and black 12v. Use single wires.
Please, I want to build one but how to go about it
I didnt get or you did not ntexplaint that . which wire need to remove or not in use. Planty of color same in 20-24 Gadg pin and lods of cd rome usb .. Faction but from all wire which which use part of the correct blue black all there only green is one so
In this video you have a diagram 😉 ua-cam.com/video/10n6lCUP9_Q/v-deo.html
what would you use the -12v (blue wire) for? its the only one not shown used? every 12v example in this went to ground?
-12V (blue)and +12V(yellow) = 24V but it is only about 800mA
thank you 👍👍👍👍
