    PSU Sleeved... next step?

    Hey guys! Quick question... I have finished sleeving my PSU but am a little nervous just plugging it in the motherboard and other components directly to try it out. I'm afraid that if I mixed up a wire or one of the pins that it's going to fry everything. Any suggestions? I'm not even sure if this is possible?

    Do what davidkozat mentioned, power it up with a small load, like a fan.

    Make sure to check the colors of your wireing, if you can't do that then check with a meter, make sure all of the cables are correct.
    One screw up on a hd power cable, and bye bye drive...

    You can get wiring diagrams online on google images.
    Just look up atx connector, or something like that.
    Then test away with the meter.
