Gdesmo: I was just talking in general. I have several sets of 5v XSPC LEDs running off molex power. Ideally, it would be nice to run those off a terminal block, with spade lugs, but since I have zero knowledge of electronics, that ain't happening. I have a pic of a terminal block a guy on OCN set up, and it's the neatest wiring I've ever laid eyes on, but I can't upload pics to the forum for some reason.

Ok, what I'll do is on Tuesday I'll pick up a 10 or 12 spot terminal block and make up some terminations with some simple lug terminals. It is actually quite simple because you only have 5 volt and ground. It is just a large parallel circuit so if you keep the positive together you are good, any way pics are better than words most of the time.

Very nicely done, answered my next question which was asking if you wanted to get rid of molex altogether.3770K IHS removed-Max V gene-2x4gig ram Gskills 2400 Trident X-2x400watt Qmax TEC`s with dew point controller-420 Monsta rad for TEC hotside-360 TFC Xchanger for dual 670`s-RP452 res with 2xD5 vario pumps- HF Supreme with modified plate-DD Cp Pro pump for cold side of TEC and cpu block-Dual CM haf 922`s and a Seasonic X-1250 Psu

I have daz led but they have molex connector,the issue is that i have 16 of em just for my shrouds alone they plug 2 per molex that is a total of 8 molex. i would have to plug ALL my molex wire from the power supply just to power leds. but that would pic just made me realized i need to get more creative. if someone can confirm my theory on that pic bart posted. if we speak of the pump power terminals alone. the left terminal (with red sleeved wires) is probably (either or) positive while the terminal on the right of it (black wires) is the negative. he them would have a feed for the terminal that would be wired of a molex connector on it correct? (that would then be a 12V feed)

Molex from the psu has 4 wires on it with 12 volt and 5 volt supply voltages and if you are using 5 volt Led's then it is just a matter of isolating the ground and the 5 volt leads and using a terminal strip similar to the image posted with a feed from the molex.3770K IHS removed-Max V gene-2x4gig ram Gskills 2400 Trident X-2x400watt Qmax TEC`s with dew point controller-420 Monsta rad for TEC hotside-360 TFC Xchanger for dual 670`s-RP452 res with 2xD5 vario pumps- HF Supreme with modified plate-DD Cp Pro pump for cold side of TEC and cpu block-Dual CM haf 922`s and a Seasonic X-1250 Psu

We should create a thread about this stuff in the "ask for help" forum. I'm sure I'm not the only electrical noob who would benefit from this info. Besides, I just realized I caused some serious clutter in the wrong thread!! DOH! ADD strikes again!

I need around 16
Thnks
BP wants some ridiculous money for those... PPCs sell for $12, but my cost would be $20!
I'm little skeptical...but I check if this is a typo.Last edited by DazMode; 05-21-2013, 08:58 PM.__________________________________________________
