I want to connect and LED to CPU?

Question

I want to connect and Led to my cpu, Which colored wire should i connect it to? And how.

Answer 1

You need to look at your motherboard manual. There you will find the pin order for your power, reset, and other buttons. Those pins are usually found on the motherboard towards the bottom on the right. Just find which one is suppose to light p the led.

Answer 2

Why LED to CPU? Keep in mind that CPU, to most people here, means the microprocessor, though you *could* be using it to mean the case.

If you do mean LED on the case, it's generally attached to the mainboard.

If you *do* mean the microprocessor, that's a computer architecture class job (No, I'm not kidding, upper level Electrical Engineering class in an university) and you'll need to provide FAR more details than a sentence.

Answer 3

What is it that you what to achieve? You can't connect an LED directly to the CPU, only to pins or connectors on the motherboard.
