orientation of USB olug on machII

[pumbertot]

the colour of the wires on the USB plug from my prommy are different to those on the ECT webite. Ive heard you can blow a PSU or worse if connected the wrong way. my USB plug has in order white/green/red/grey/black wires. which is the correct orientation for this into the USB header on mobo?

I couldn't find the threads on this through my search, which is odd as I know they should be there somewhere. Luckily I have loads of stuff stored on my computer, which could hopefully help you out:

No probs

I think it'd be handy if these photo's (and other useful ones?) could be put on a help area/ stickied somewhere, as these questions come up a fair bit and would be a useful resource.

I second that! Indeed I had the same problem myself a while ago and after doing a search I found the answer in the 1st of the 2 photos shown above.

Nice blow up and photoshop skills (?) in the 2nd photo stocky!

Only the first pic is mine, the others were robbed! I think they all originated off these forums at one point or another though. I know Fatty has some good uns' I've stolen in the past

Oh well, I hope you don't mind me borrowing both of them too so that I can possibly help other Mach II (GT) users facing the same problem. LOL
