I want to test the new Water Cool system I installed for leaks and Fans operation , and I don't want to power up the Mobo and CPU. How do you fool the PS into thinking all is connected.

I believe there is a way to do it with a paper clip, but I wouldn't if I were you. If you wish, you can find the necessary info by Googling "paper clip power supply".

Again, I wouldn't do it personally - be careful and do at your own risk.

green wire to ground. I would have a hard drive attached to the power when you turn it on, best to have a load on it, or the PSU could get damaged, and the water pump may not be enough of a load.
