Yeah i just found that post, but apparently the power supply I purchased has all black wires. There are no colored wires on the 24pin connector lol
Here is a picture of the jumper.

Here is a picture of the PSU side.

You would need to do it by location instead of by the color of the wire, so top row pin 3 and 4.

Awesome thank you very much, I'm sure this will do the trick! At work so I can't really try right now. Thanks again!

There are several diy on what you have to do to get your psu to function!  It requires a jumper wire between a green and black wire.  Look it up :-p

I recently purchased an s3 from a seller here on the site. I went out and purchased a Corsair CX850M PSU, but I cant seem to get the PSU to actually turn on? I have tried multiple outlets, all of them have worked for other things but not the PSU. I am doing something wrong or is it just a faulty PSU. I have the four PCI-E cables plugged into the top of the s3 and ran back to the PSU but nothing. Halp halp please!
