Hey man I really enjoyed this, you can relax on the full on push it’s really informative and you can take ur time explaining each cable. Great job. Helped me with my pc.
The power motherboard connectors: It doesn't matter which way you plug in the power and reset switch headers they will work either way. The LEDs however if plugged in the wrong way won't light up but this won't destroy the LEDs. If there is no lights when you power on your PC just switch it off and plug them in the other way and they will be fine. And don't daisy chain more than 4 fans to one motherboard fan header as there won't be enough voltage.
Holy crap. I've spent hours trying to figure out what I did wrong. I searched up and down and couldn't figure out the problem and after God knows how long, I found it. I swapped the damn power and reset plugins.
Thanks for that! Very helpful. Got a question though. My m/b has a "PD_PWR" connector which connects to a 6 pin (well 8 pin with two pins at one end blocked off) "PCIE/CPU" connector on the PS. What is this used for? This is an MSI m/b and Corsair PS. Maybe PD stands for "power distribution", maybe? Thanks!
genuine question, I have a ryzen 5 3500 and 1650 super but i am upgrading and having a hard time figuring out to what yet. I thought about it and saw some bench marks on the 4070 and ryzen 5 5600x (was also thinking about the 5800X3D) they were pretty good, but i also saw a combo for ryzen 7 7700x with a motherboard and wifi for around 500 but I don't have the ddr5 ram. If I were to get the combo I am going to pair it with the 6800. Should I stick with the old AM4 platform or go to the new AM5 platfom.
I’ve just build my first pc and I’ve got a pci gen 4 psu with a 4080 super? Should I buy an extension cable for the Gpu or will it be fine to keep the existing cables.
im building my first pc and im curious can i plug in an rgb fan header also my power for my case and an ssd all to one sata power cable or should i plug those into three seperate sata power cables?
@Geekawhat i wanted to thank you for all the great content, ive seen all your videos, i just wanted to ask for another live build with @PCCENTRIC, I really enjoyed it...we need more of it...god bless and hope this carries on.
what if my pc was turned off but my psu was still turned on and at the rams full speed it would have weird video glitches but just under its mhz (3533) it would be find, and then i got a new gpu which didn't work under load and just made my pc restart, was it my psus fault? and did leaving the psu on while adding the ram break my psu?
How do I connect my case fans to the motherboard?? I think I knlw which one is the fan chord but the chird is so short it doen't reach it also does plugging 1 fan connect all??
Panicking here over cables! I'm at the CPU. I found 8-pin cables, BUT NO 4-pin CABLES!!! Then I noticed the 8-pin cable can split. So do I put in the left side of the split? the right side? Split 2 from one side, 2 from the other and put in the middle? HEEEEEELP! 😓😓
I find it amazing that there isn’t a block connector for all the front panel switches and connectors. Why the hell am I placing on single wire connectors!?!? Can you say standardization. 🤷♂️
Bruhv thank you I was looking for hours took my whole pc apart looking for the other front panel connectors and they don’t exist I have the all in one front panel 😂
When i built my first pc I remember I has such a big problem with fans and rgb. I could have used this. I had to pay a computer shop $100 for just 10 minutes of wiring. It was ridiculous.
I have no extra cables for rgb and all the fans are connected to this line this on the back which is connect to the sata cable and my fans are not lighting up. Help?
