   Hello everyone
I'am doing a custom case build. Now i've bought a button which can be illuminated to start the pc. Now it would be useful to use the led power connector from the mainboard as power supply. But the current the LED pulls varies with the voltage. It can take up to 12v but looks already good at 2.5V. Does somone know how many volts and amps i get there? If that's necessary i am using an asrock x79 extreme 3
Thank you for your Help but please only answer if u are sure because i don't want to destroy my mainboard
