for not checking and finding out that the 2 coolermaster 590's that i bought to put systems in dont have a reset button. every single case i have ever had has one. who thinks to check for it?.

i will from now on. any modders here have a way to rig one up.

thx

I prefer the blue ring but theres abunch of different styles.
Vandal Resistant Illuminated Switch 16mm Black - Blue Ring Products Model: VSW16-BK-RING-BL [VSW16-BK-RING-BL] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come
All you need to do is wire it up so it connects to your mobo headers.
Or I believe PerPC offers to sleeve and wire it up for you for a price.

Most any momentary 2 pin switches will work like the one Supergrover posted (nice by the way) and they are usually very easy to install, just drill a hole the size of the shank of the switch and it comes with a nut you install from behind to secure the switch then hook up the wires. It does not matter which wire from which pin connects to the motherboard reset header since your just completing a circuit.

i assume the reset switches installed on other cases are normally closed? that way when it is pushed, it opens a circuit?

thx

No, it’s open and when pushed it completes a circuit signaling the motherboard to do a reset; it’s not like the power switch that maintains a close circuit when the PC is on. Here is a link on how to install one.
Reset Button
But I would not solder on the motherboard as described in the link, if you have a old case use it’s reset switch or cut the end off it and connect that to your new switch then plug it in to motherboard.

PS I'm sure it's open, but if you want I have a old case somewhere and I can test the reset button with a multimeter.

Funny enough my new Coolermaster ATCS 840 has a reset switch, the first case to have on for me in many.
