i did a search but couldnt find what i was looking for
i cant remember but i need to wire a 5v line out of a molex and i was thinking it was the yellow and the closest black wire for for 5 volts. is this correct? second black and red are 12 volts right?

I thought the black wires were both grounds... but then again, I'm the guy who put the connector back on the wrong way around :D
Yellow - 12v
Blacks - Gnd
Red - 5v
The above was corrent but i found a picture to illustrate this.....

DOH!!! and i just fried my led . will have to get another one =(
so the ground closest to the red is the one i should use right?
both grounds are identical thorilan... they're actually connected to the same solder point in the psu...
and yeah yellow=12v, red is 5v...
and for the 7v thing you'll need the + to go yellow, and the - to go red....
