Can anyone tell me what the color codes are for the wires on the computer?

EX: Color = +X Volts

I always have problems with the case jumpers on the motherboard when building computers and knowing the color codes would help me greatly.

Thanks,

Im not 100% sure on all so double check but here it is

black= ground
yellow= 12v
red= 5v
orange= 3.3v
purple= 5v
white= -5v
blue= -12v
for atx, green is "power on"

Maybe on your computer, but there's nothing on the side of my Power Supply. Besides I was just asking a simple question, you don't need to reply like that, this is a friendly forum.

OK, I thought he was saying, "I'm an idiot, but look at this guy" or something to that affect.

I'm sorry for my last post, I missunderstood. :(
Thanks for calling it to my attention.

Also, thanks for the information Satan.

I didn't mean anything by "i'm an idiot", except a little pun on myself, because I was trying to remember the volts and just in front of me was my 2nd power supply and a huge chart with the colors and volts was right in front of me. I checked my first post, the colors and volts match my power supply's chart. Sorry i don't want to get anyone mad, thats just how I talk.
