how do i power my case power LED

[SidharthAGupta]

hello freinds,

im buildimg a new rig and found out my motherboards (power led ) pins is defective,so everything works except case power led lights

so i was i wondering if it would be ok if i connect my power led(+,-) header into the (+5V and Ground ) header in the speaker header in my motherboard

 

info-i have alredy tried and my oower led lits up,but i was just making sure if its ok..

 

2-would connecting my power led header to the 5v rail in my molex connecter a better option(as my old case's power led light stopeed working after a year i plugged it in the speaker led header similarly)?

For your power LED if you want to wire it directly to your PSU at 5V your going to require a resistor to limit the current. Your going to want around a 150ohm resistor for a 3V based LED.

Or just get some RGB strips and turn the whole darn case into a power indicator.
