SKU CH-XXFD-NVKP0

An external desktop power and reset switch with power and drive-activity LEDs on a 1.6 m cable for cases in awkward spots or broken front-panel buttons

  • Acrylic build resists daily wear in home and lab setups
  • 6 m cable routes power and reset buttons to an accessible spot
  • Replaces a broken front-panel switch without opening the case
  • Power and drive-activity LEDs give instant status at a glance
  • Supports bare-board, water-cooled and custom chassis projects

External Power Switch for PC Builds

The LORDWORLD external power switch replaces a damaged front-panel button or extends the power and reset controls to a more accessible spot. It includes a boot button, a restart button, a power LED and a hard-drive activity LED. The unit is built from acrylic and connects to the motherboard front-panel header via a 1.6 m cable. It suits home users, bare-board test benches and custom water-cooled chassis.

Behaviour Under Sustained Use

The switch is a passive mechanical assembly with no active electronics, so its operation does not change during extended sessions. The acrylic housing and wired indicators are rated for continuous connection to the motherboard header. No thermal throttling or signal degradation occurs because the device draws only the tiny current needed for the front-panel LEDs.

1.6 Metre Cable Length Decides Fit

The fixed 1.6 m cable sets the maximum distance between the motherboard header and the switch mounting point. Builders must verify that this reach covers the intended routing path through drive bays, fan grilles or expansion-slot cut-outs. If the required run is longer, this unit will not work and a different solution is needed.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.6 m cable run warm or draw noticeable power during continuous use?

The switch is a passive mechanical device with no active electronics, so it generates no heat and consumes no measurable power regardless of how long the PC stays on.

What motherboard headers must be free for the boot button, restart button, power LED and HDD LED to function?

You need a standard front-panel header block with pins for power switch, reset switch, power LED and HDD LED; the cable ends in individual Dupont-style connectors that plug onto those pins.

Will the reset button and activity LEDs work on a legacy board that only provides a two-pin power-switch header?

No, the reset button and both LEDs require their own dedicated header pins; a vintage two-pin power-switch header alone cannot support the extra functions.
