Powering BlizPPC thru Floppy P/S
« on: February 03, 2004, 10:04:44 AM »
I think my Bliz needs more power, so I want to power it through the floppy power supply. Do I have to do this from the Motherboard or can I use one of the tower's floppy connectors?

In any case being a bit of a techno gimp, which wires do I need to connect to the bliz power connector on the back. It's the red and black ones right?

uh oh this is starting to confuse me!

My original aim was to give a bit of extra power to the Blizz itself.

The fan for my blizz had been modded and is now powered by the tower's power 235W source. The mother board is powered through my Mediator (will that give enough power?).

I saw a little two pronged connector on the back of the blizz and assumed that this was where extra power could be supplied via the floppy power cable.

Now I assume that this is actually the original power cable for the fan, right.

I'm thinking that it isn't worth the risk at the moment to attempt powering it.
