Power on PSU

[Time-Bandit]

Hi there,

I need to know what pins do I put a paperclip into to turn my PSU on as hooked up to power an external GPU (Since mini PC has its own power supply there is no need to plug into 24pin on the external PSU that is just for the GPU).

I need to know aswell if there is an easier way to power my PSU other than using a paperclip ?

Cheers,

Bandit.

What exactly is required to power the "external" gpu to begin with? One would think it's not normally a paper-clipped PS. And if you know, why not just buy the specific ps dongle or get a small ps to begin with? Makes no sense.

Green wire and any black wire.

PSU tester not only will it test but it can turn the PSU on then hook up the GPU.
