hi =) ELECTRICAL HELP! with psu's

[evilcow]

What's the 350watt (PSU) typical 12 v power connectors wattage? I've got 1watt rated resistors..
would they blow up.. if i passed too much wattage? :\ Can someone help me over icq.. 462583 is my number. I'm confuseD! Sure i'll start a fire, but i don't wanna get killed in it

First tell us why you want to limit the current. That will help.
I don't know for sure if a specific PS of "X" watts can handle "Y" watts on the +12v line. You'll have to read that off of the PS itself.

P= E^2/R so if you have greater then 144ohms resistance you should be ok with a 1 W resistor.
