Anybody know which pin/wire on an atx psu is always hot when it is plugged in? I'm working on a little mod here and it would come in handy

So you want a hot at all times? Not just when the PSU is on?

Yeah, I need the one that is +v when it is plugged in. I have an old keyless entry system from a car and I am going to see if I can get it to start my computer

Keyless entry from a car to start a computer? Easy!
Wire up the receiver to a NO momentary relay and have the relay close the "power switch" poles on the mobo.

Get out your trusty DVOM and start checking. Shouldnt take but a few min to find it. I found a PDF of the ATX spec but its overly technical. | |

Pin #9, +5VSB (purple wire), max current 1.5 amps on a 300W power supply. This can be found in section 3.3.3 of the ATX12v Power Supply Design Guide. You can download the .pdf at www.formfactors.org.

Thanks Xeroid, It seems to be the right wire, but it's not enough juice to close my 12v relay  I guess I am going to have to try to find a 5v somewhere.. | |
