| It's no problem at all, but you will have to make a shunt for the MB connector. Connect the green lead to ground; that means you have to run a wire in the connector from the one green location to any of the black ones. If you don't do this, the power supply will not start.

| Yes, you can use the power supply for it. Sometimes a burden resistor is required, but generally you can get away without using one. Your biggest issue might be turning the thing on/off.

I can't see why not but iv only ever test psu and never been ask about using them in this way be for. thxs again

| You've tested it and it runs fans without a shunt?

| Right, I thought perhaps you were thinking that the switch would be used instead of the shunt, rather than in addition to it. Never mind me
