I want my power supply to kick on without my computer coming on so I can get the air out of my water-cooling system when I replace the coolant and change one of the tubes. I can't seem to find my notes from the last time I had to do it, and I don't remember which 2 color wires on the MB power cord to short out. I remember seeing a picture on a website showing which wires it was, but can't remember the website. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello bruceb3,

I honestly recommend not shorting out any wires because it could ruin your Power Supply.

What is the make and model of your Water Cooling system.
