Does direct power switch button exist ?

[ChopstickWarrior]

I just build an open air pc and thought about the power button, i kinda hate to routing the power button and front panel cable so i think if i can jump the power just using a screwdriver then it should be something like a button that can be attach to the pin.

is that thing exist ? and what is it called ?

 

or its exist on some motherboard ? because sometimes i found several type of motherboard that has their own power button attach to the board

Skinflint found 28 AM4 boards and 40 LGA1200 boards with a power button.

Um…. That’s what the regular button is.  If you want to make your own power button you can do it.  Any momentary switch will work.  Usually this is about full shutdown which is what you can do with a power switch on more or less any atx PSU.

if you dont mind a bit of soldering, modding a regular push button with pin header female sockets should be easy enough for your application 

Most pin headers are Molex kk-series 2.54mm pitch. If you can find a mini push button with a similar pitch legs, its an easy 2 second soldering job to attach the sockets.

Some motherboards have an option to start up automatically when power is available, so when you turn the power supply on the computer will automatically boot.
