Sorry if this has been covered, but I'm at work and can't really scour the forum for the answer (limited time and whatnot).
I am adding a few fans with led's in them, but ran our of led plugs on the motherboard.
Is there really a problem with hooking up more than one set of leds to each socket on the motherboard? LED's only draw a total of what? 1mA, surely the MB would be able to handle that.
Otherwise, would a simple setup with a resister wired parallel with the led leads coming off the 5v of the powersupply work? If so, what value resister should I use (i'm far to lazy to try to remember my days of ohm's law )? I have no problem soldering if thats what it takes, just don't want to wreck anything.
Thanks again,
Pete
Edit: sorry, thought I should add... its an Asus A7V8X-X with audio and lan. xp2400, 512mb ram, 350 watt p/s with 200w combined output. 2 led fans & volcano9 w/coolmod, and I would like to have the power and hdd leds on the case work too.
