building my first computer

[autumn herald]

It has this thing

So it looks like the fans are flying

[lilac tapir]

I personally dig the one where you push through the radiator and out of the case

[autumn herald]

But it’s covered by glasss

So idk how that would work

The back of the case

Isn’t full metal

[lilac tapir]

hmm

[autumn herald]

It’s like a dust cover

Tbh

Like a big dust cover

Which goes in back of case

[lilac tapir]

look up some videos for that particular case

they may have some special intention with how to mount a 360mm rad

[autumn herald]

Alright

They set them up like this

So I assume I gotta remove the top

They’d didn’t do setup

[lilac tapir]

yeah I like that setup too

with the fans blowing up

you can mount the fans on the radiator first

or mount the radiator to the case first

they will be held by separate screws

[lilac tapir]

and again here will probably be more screws than you need

12 of them in total xd

[autumn herald]

I gotta remove it right

And then screw it onto fan

[lilac tapir]

no no

or...

[autumn herald]

?

[lilac tapir]

oooh

the entire top part comes off?

[autumn herald]

Ye

[lilac tapir]

that's nifty

[autumn herald]

Well it is a 250$ case

[lilac tapir]

never seen that before

ah cool, so you can just take it off and fully mount both the rad and all the fans without risking dropping anything on the motherboard

[autumn herald]

Pretty sure yes

Ok it’s off

Ok now I put the fans into the thing

@lilac tapir

How do I do the fans?

[lilac tapir]

I mean any way you want to really, but I would put them in the way that picure above with the white case showed

btw they blow out on the grille side

the visible side on the fan in that last pic is the intake side

[autumn herald]

So like this?

I’m kinda worried

If the rgb cable

Is like facing the glass

And not the back

I would probably have to switch out the fans or some

[lilac tapir]

duct tape is your friend

and yeah getting the cables tidy is extremely advanced :)

[autumn herald]

The motherboard came with

Zip lines

Idk the exact name

But their like bands

Zip bands

Ye those

@lilac tapir question

Idk if you see it but there’s the circle thing

Underneath the screw

Am I supposed to use them for that?

[lilac tapir]

yeah

:)

[autumn herald]

Alright thanks for the help I appreciate it

[lilac tapir]

no worries you're doing great!

I may fall asleep soon tho

[autumn herald]

I’ll try to be quick

[lilac tapir]

someone else will surely take over :) or I'll be back tomorrow!

[autumn herald]

Hopefully

Btw

The radiator seems to have thermal paste

Applied to it

So I guess I don’t need my stick of thermal paste anymore

[dry inlet]

It shouldn't

Okay, what step are you at right now

[autumn herald]

@dry inlet

I just finished setting up the fans

For the cooler

Now ima put it back in

Then we do power supply

@dry inlet you there

I need assistance

[dry inlet]

What

[autumn herald]

Ok so I setup fans

Now I wanna setup the cables

To the psu and the motherboard

And the rgb

The fans came with this

And the case came with these things

Also idk what this thing is but it’s in the case nzxt box

[dry inlet]

That blue one is the USB 3 cable

[autumn herald]

Where connect

Pls tell me

[dry inlet]

I'd need better pictures of the other ones

[dry inlet]

uh so the one in the back with the gold is sata power

[autumn herald]

Also this cable came with the motherboard

And I haven’t used it yet

[dry inlet]

You'll need to hold the other 2 closer

[dry inlet]

1 is probably f_panel and other is f_audio

[dry inlet]

Looks like Sata Data

[autumn herald]

I made video hope it helps better

Then picture

[dry inlet]

Just hold the connector and take a picture...

[autumn herald]

I just did video

[dry inlet]

Again, hold the connector and take a picture

[autumn herald]

Which

[dry inlet]

A video is worse than a photo

[autumn herald]

All?

[dry inlet]

I already told you what 2 were

Take photos of the other two

[dry inlet]

Okay so that connects to your audio header

On your motherboard

[dry inlet]

That's USB 2.0

Another header on your motherboard

[dry inlet]

Sata power and f panel

Sata power connects to another cable on your PSU

f panel connects to your f_panel header on your motherboard

[dry inlet]

USB 3.0, usually around the 24 pin

You know your manual explains all this

[autumn herald]

Nope

Case manual doesn’t

[dry inlet]

What case

[autumn herald]

I couldn’t find anything regarding those things

Nzxt h9 elite

Like it probably should

But I couldn’t find anything

The manual I got isn’t even manual

It’s like a photo step on how to insert things into it

Like motherboard psu

[dry inlet]

???

[autumn herald]

It doesnt tell you what goes in what

[autumn herald]

Where do I put

Like in psu or motherboard

[dry inlet]

how tf would it connect to the PSU

[autumn herald]

Idk

I never built pc before

😭

I don’t know what goes where

[dry inlet]

whats your motherboard again

[autumn herald]

Asus rog z790-e gaming wifi

[dry inlet]

Motherboard manual explains it all as well

99% of this stuff is explained in the manual

[autumn herald]

I’m dyslexic

Can you help pls

[dry inlet]

what

[autumn herald]

Nothing

Anyways as we where going

[dry inlet]

Dyslexia affects reading...

[autumn herald]

Manual read

I’m joking

Manuals have many pages

And so it’s easier to just write question

And someone can help me

Also step by step guides better

Anyways what do I now

[dry inlet]

Plug the cables in

[autumn herald]

Motherboard

All?

Correct

[autumn herald]

Wait

@dry inlet my psu comes with a bunch of cables

What’s are those used for

It’s like an unholy amount of cables

Do I connect those all into psu?

[dry inlet]

No

Only connect the ones you need

[autumn herald]

Idk which ones I need though

That’s the thing

Ok let’s just focus on the small cables

From the case

[dry inlet]

⭐ Manual ⭐

[autumn herald]

Didn’t come with manual bro

And I don’t know what things are what

Idk what the names mean

[dry inlet]

Yes it did

If it didn't an online one exists

[dry inlet]

Plug them in

[autumn herald]

I’m scrolling up rn

To see where you said I put them in

[dry inlet]

Your motherboard manual says it as well, with diagrams

[autumn herald]

I’m not using hard drive

I’m using ssd

So that means I don’t use the SATA

Device connection right

[dry inlet]

Well 2.5" drives still need sata data cables but you're using an M.2, right?

[autumn herald]

Yes

[autumn herald]

This is a 3.2 right

The blue one

According to manual and picture it says 3.2

[dry inlet]

Yeah

That's 3.2/3.0

Your motherboard manual also has labels on where each header is

[dry inlet]

You won't need Sata Data cables then\

[autumn herald]

Alr

Is this plugged in right?

Is the blue supposed to be visible

[dry inlet]

uh

could you get a better photo

[autumn herald]

It clicked

When I put it in

So it’s in

Manual said you hear click when in

[dry inlet]

Then it's probably good

[autumn herald]

I just connected the internet thing to the motherboard

Btw

I need a usb right

For windows

Or does bios have internet searcher

[dry inlet]

bios doesn't have access to google lmao

It doesn't even have access to the internet

[dry inlet]

What internet thing

It has built in internet

[autumn herald]

Nevermind

So I do need a usb

For windows

[dry inlet]

To download it, yes

[autumn herald]

😩

[spring topaz]

Some do

[autumn herald]

Alright let’s keep on going

[spring topaz]

But strictly to update

[dry inlet]

Which

[dry inlet]

Nah wait, what internet thing did you connect

[autumn herald]

The internet antenna

That comes with the motherboard

[dry inlet]

Okay

[autumn herald]

So it has internet

[dry inlet]

Do f_panel next

[autumn herald]

Alright

Manual doesn’t mention anything about f panel

And where to connect it

[autumn herald]

What’s f panel?

How does it look

And where connect

[spring topaz]

Simplest example is PXE capable NICs

Their ROMs are considered a type of BIOS/UEFI OpROM

[dry inlet]

Okay cool, but we're talking about motherboards

[dry inlet]

The cable is labled

It'll connect to the f_panel

[autumn herald]

Psu cable?

Or is it a

[dry inlet]

huh

[autumn herald]

Case cable

[dry inlet]

Case

You sent a photo before...

[autumn herald]

Oh found it

My bad

Where connect

Or does it matter

As long as it’s an accepted entrance

[spring topaz]

Intel vPRO with Active Management Technology

[spring topaz]

The power button cable usually goes to PWR

[dry inlet]

Okay, but give me a motherboard where the BIOS can search the internet

[autumn herald]

Ooh power button is the if f_panel?

[dry inlet]

Yours were all connected though, correct?

[autumn herald]

What do you mean

Me confused

[dry inlet]

Send a photo of the connector

[spring topaz]

That doesn’t exist
Point for a BIOS to access the internet is either remote management or to update

[dry inlet]

Exactly, so what were you yapping about lmao

[spring topaz]

BIOS capable of being remotely managed

[spring topaz]

But ok let’s just stop here we’re going offtopic

[autumn herald]

What he mean connected

I’m confused

[dry inlet]

yapper ville

[autumn herald]

I only connected the blue cable so far

[dry inlet]

The connector, not the header

[autumn herald]

I only have the blue one connected

[dry inlet]

Take a photo of the f_panel cable

[dry inlet]

I never asked which ones you had connected

[spring topaz]

flip it back and see what it says

[autumn herald]

Nothing

It’s blank

[dry inlet]

Show the holes for the pins

It looks like its for the f_panel, I just want to verify before you mush all the pins

[autumn herald]

It literally says

F panel

Why do you need to verify if its f panel

[spring topaz]

Could we take a closer look at the pins at the bottom right corner

[dry inlet]

Thats it

Plug it in

[spring topaz]

Use a flash if possible to illuminate the text

[spring topaz]

Covers the HDD LED and RESET it seems

[dry inlet]

Left most side, and make sure the missing pins line up

[autumn herald]

Ok

[autumn herald]

Wait

That thing correct

The big line

[dry inlet]

no lmfao

[autumn herald]

Wait wa

[spring topaz]

Down at the bottom right corner

[dry inlet]

Almost as if your motherboard manual says where it is

[autumn herald]

😭

Manual this manual that

Chill

[autumn herald]

Alr thanks

So these chat

[dry inlet]

99% of your questions are in the manual

[spring topaz]

Pin assemblies should be the same, align the bottom 5 pins with the 5 sockets on the F panel plug and gently plug it in

[dry inlet]

Plug it in, left most side

[autumn herald]

If a pin snaps

Is it over?

[dry inlet]

yes

[autumn herald]

Alright I’ll be the upmost careful

[dry inlet]

Unless you know how to solder

[autumn herald]

Wait left most

Of the cluster right

Like where the bunch of pins are

Is it normal that 3 don’t have pins

Motherboard came like that

I swear I ain’t break any off

[dry inlet]

Yes

[autumn herald]

Alr I was gonna have a

Heart attack

So I put it in those right

In left most side

[dry inlet]

Yes

[autumn herald]

Ok done flawlessly

Slid like butter

And I just pressed down

Now what’s next

[dry inlet]

audio

[autumn herald]

Which one

Is that

You mean usb 2.0

[dry inlet]

what

what

[autumn herald]

?

Which one is the audio

[dry inlet]

maybe the one that says audio?

[autumn herald]

Which bro

Send me a recap

Of the pic I sent

Maybe I’m tripping

[dry inlet]

The one that says audio...

[autumn herald]

Hold up

Ooh

Found it

It was hidden

Amongst cables

Now where does it go

[dry inlet]

onto the audio header...

[autumn herald]

Where is it

[dry inlet]

The motherboard comes with a little book that tells you

[autumn herald]

Tell me

😭

[dry inlet]

No

I don't know the exact positioning of each header so I'm going to just check your motherboard manual

Why tf would I check your motherboard manual when you can do it yourself

[autumn herald]

I can’t find it

😔

Pls pls

[dry inlet]

It's available on your motherboards site

[autumn herald]

Check it for me

I don’t got computer

And my phone internet sucks

[dry inlet]

nah

[autumn herald]

PLSS

😭

I’m learning from this

It’s my first time building computer

I got no idea what is what

I’ll give you my 3 month YouTube premium

Code I got

🙏

[dry inlet]

you gotta be independent in life

[autumn herald]

Pls

Help me

😭

Your acting as if I’m not the one building this

I just need the knowledge

Pls

@dry inlet

Please I’m sorry

I checked manual

And it didn’t mention anything

About hd audio

And where it goes

[autumn herald]

Bro I ain’t see that

What header

😭

How does it look

[dry inlet]

manual.

[autumn herald]

BRO

I DONT SEE PICTURE

PLS HELP

@dry inlet

Please

😞

It was all going smoothly

Sorry if I make you mad

Just help please

[dry inlet]

I’m not mad, you just need to learn how to use your manual

I literally gave you the page

[autumn herald]

I can’t find dude the picture

Of how it looks

Pls help me

I wanna finish before the day is over

😞

I’m going to Walmart for usb

BRB

[lilac tapir]

you don't really need to plug any of them in at all

they're all optional for you, since you have a power button on the motherboard anyway

otherwise you would at least need the power button connected

on asus boards all the front panel stuff is usually connected at the bottom edge of the board

but you do need to read the pages of the manual for this if you wanna have even a chance of getting it right

there is nobody going to be accurate enough to tell you where to plug in each pin, for like 30+ pins and be perfectly accurate via discord

just find the manual pages and read them and plug in everything that seems obvious, ask for help with whatever is missing, or just skip it as you may not need it anyway

[autumn herald]

@dry inlet back

[autumn herald]

I confused

😭

[dry inlet]

I was cooking

[autumn herald]

You down?

Done*

What you cook

[dry inlet]

Almost

Ramen

[autumn herald]

Ima go put some chicken nuggets in air fryer

Tell me when you done

[dry inlet]

I gotta put spices in

[autumn herald]

Ooh nice

[dry inlet]

That’s it

[autumn herald]

👍

When done tell me

I wanna finish this by today

Tomorrow I gotta go

Grandmas

[lilac tapir]

you need to read the motherboard manual :p

just take it with you instead of your phone the next time you go take a shit

and don't start wiping until you've read everything

[autumn herald]

😭

Chill

Bro I deadass

Don’t see anything telling me where to plug the hd audio

Like I need poctures

[lilac tapir]

there is pictures!

they are under a section called front panel connectors

[autumn herald]

I can’t find

What’s page

I don’t see

There’s no section called

Front panel collectors

[lilac tapir]

it's under 2.4.2

or 2.1.9

just read the whole chapter 2

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z790-e-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_manual/

is this the right board?

[dry inlet]

This is what I’ve been telling him for like 2 hours

[autumn herald]

The manual doesn’t have that

[dry inlet]

@autumn herald I’m going to help you build the computer, but if it’s in the manual and super easy I’m going to direct you there

[autumn herald]

You guys are telling me stuff that aren’t in paper manual

And expecting me to see them

😭

[autumn herald]

Thank

[dry inlet]

Are you 100% sure you told us the correct motherboard model?

[autumn herald]

Yes

Look it says on case

[lilac tapir]

it has everything

[dry inlet]

Show is the contents page in the manual

[autumn herald]

Doesn’t mention anything about hd audio

The audio I/o connects I checked

And those are complete different things

[autumn herald]

Where does it say

Where to put hd audio

[lilac tapir]

that's 15

AAFP

[autumn herald]

I never built a computer

Can’t expect me

To know that

[lilac tapir]

Analog Audio Front Panel

you have to do some guesswork too

[autumn herald]

Totally would of guessed that

[lilac tapir]

plus it's the only place where that connector will even physically insert

because one of the holes is plugged

[autumn herald]

There’s still usb.20

So not really

[lilac tapir]

you can't get it into a usb header

[autumn herald]

Ok let’s stop the fuss

[lilac tapir]

:p

[autumn herald]

So I connect hd audio

In 15

Ok got it

Ok it’s in

Now usb2.0

Which one would that be

@lilac tapir

[dry inlet]

MANUAL

IT SAYS

Your manual has a motherboard layout page

[lilac tapir]

literally just read the manual

it's all in there

but you don't really need most of them

[autumn herald]

Which one is 2

[autumn herald]

Dude I don’t know the names

[autumn herald]

Can it be any?

[lilac tapir]

this is the only important page

you need the power switch

everything else is optional

I usually skip it completely

[autumn herald]

What’s power switch?

Is it psu related

[lilac tapir]

no the power button on the front of the case

you need to connect it to the motherboard

[autumn herald]

Oh

How do

But firstly

Where do I connect usb2

Those don’t say usb 2

It’s just random nimbers

[lilac tapir]

here

[autumn herald]

Any?

I can put it anywhere of those 2

[lilac tapir]

yeah

[autumn herald]

Ok

Ok done

What’s next

@lilac tapir

[lilac tapir]

this mess

[autumn herald]

Oh wait

This?

Is that what you where talking about

This cable

[lilac tapir]

I dunno

[autumn herald]

Where does this go

[lilac tapir]

uuh

I have no clue what that is :D

[dry inlet]

USB 2.0

Or type-c

One of those

[lilac tapir]

what's on the other side?

it looks modern so surely it'll only fit in one hole

[dry inlet]

I think it's connected to the case

I'm pretty sure that's type c

[dry inlet]

Yeah, it's keyed

[autumn herald]

Wait so

[dry inlet]

Yup, type-c

[autumn herald]

I already connected usb 2

[dry inlet]

I made a mistake, it's type-c, not 2.0

[autumn herald]

Alr

Wait it goes in this right

[dry inlet]

probably

check the manual for confirmation

[autumn herald]

Never

I can’t get it in

Ok I got it in

Now what chat @dry inlet

😞

Help now what do I do

@lilac tapir

[lilac tapir]

uuuh I dunno even how far we are

:D

did I mention I have a flu and like 40 degree fever atm? I'm literally delirious

[autumn herald]

Ok so

We connected the case cables to motherboard

Motherboard I added cpu ssd and ram

I also screwed in the fans at the top

I haven’t put the radiator in yet

Power supply also isn’t set up

And neither is graphics card

So what’s next

[lilac tapir]

PSU I guess!

[dry inlet]

PSU

Connect your cables to the PSU end, screw it into it's shroud

1: 24 pin

2: CPU ATX12v

3: GPU VGA

1: Sata power

[autumn herald]

SATA?

You said to ignore

Cause we using m2

[dry inlet]

Either 3 of these or 1 12VHPWR

[autumn herald]

What’s that

I’m so confused

😭

Ima send you pics

And you tell me what I do

[dry inlet]

Did you do no research before you spent like 2 grand?

[dry inlet]

I said to ignore Sata Data

[autumn herald]

I did do compatibility

[autumn herald]

Oh ok

[dry inlet]

With what

pcpp?

[autumn herald]

Computer part checker

😎

It’s about the experience

You learn along the way

Am I right chat

[dry inlet]

Definitely not

[autumn herald]

My bad

I’ll give you like a 5$ tip

For helping me after we done

😭

For all the troubles

@dry inlet what do I do with the big clump of cables

[dry inlet]

seperate them

[autumn herald]

Alright

[dry inlet]

So the 24 pin will be the big one

It has 24 pins, and sometimes will split into a 20+4

The CPU ATX12v will be the 4+4 cables

The GPU VGA cables will be 6+2

im tryna play phantom forces so chop chop

[autumn herald]

I’ll give you robux

If you help

I got a tat bit

[dry inlet]

nah i literally only play phantom forces

roblox is fucking cringe except phantom forces

It's actually a hard game

[autumn herald]

Ok 24 pin s

[dry inlet]

I'm better at Fortnite and Halo than I am at phantom forces

[dry inlet]

dino nuggets 💀

[autumn herald]

Their best

[dry inlet]

average american

[autumn herald]

I’m not American

:p

[dry inlet]

So that bitch goes into the motherboard 24 pin

It'll be on the right side

[autumn herald]

Wait it’s double sided

So I put the 20+4 in psu

Or the 24 in psu

Wait actually

Ones 24

And other side is

18

I think

28

One side 24 and other side 28

[dry inlet]

Solid end goes into the PSU

[autumn herald]

I’m slow ignore

[dry inlet]

The 20+4 goes into the motherboard

[autumn herald]

One side is 24

And other side is 28

[dry inlet]

what

definitely not\

[autumn herald]

And I using wrong cable?

I did math

[dry inlet]

Take photos of both ends so I can see the pins

[dry inlet]

Up close...

[dry inlet]

That's different

Not usually how it is

Show the other end

[autumn herald]

Ok

[dry inlet]

That end goes into the motherboard

Does it split in 20 and 4?

[autumn herald]

Solid

[dry inlet]

wtf type of PSU is this

weird asf

What model?

Usually one end is a solid 24, and the other end is 20+4

[autumn herald]

Super nova gt 13000

[dry inlet]

That's really fucking weird ngl

First time I've seen that before

[autumn herald]

Is there a issue or

What’s the case

[dry inlet]

No, it's just an abnormal design choice

It's not standard

So anyway, the solid 24 goes into the motherboard

[dry inlet]

This one

[autumn herald]

Alright

Wait

There’s 1 missing

[autumn herald]

You see the

Thing missing

Will it’s still work?

[dry inlet]

That's normal

[autumn herald]

Alr

In it goes

Does it make a sound

When it’s in

Cause I put it in and no click sound

[dry inlet]

Not even close

Push harder

[autumn herald]

You sure my motherboard

Isn’t gonna snap

In half

[dry inlet]

Put your hand behind the motherboard

[dry inlet]

Not even close

[autumn herald]

Wth

[dry inlet]

There shouldn't be a gap

[dry inlet]

Nope

There shouldn't be a gap

[autumn herald]

😭

[dry inlet]

Keep going

[autumn herald]

Why is this the hardest part

😭

I just used max strength

And there’s still gap bro

Wth

[dry inlet]

Get ur dad

[autumn herald]

I don’t have one

Like I do

But he’s working rn

And won’t be home in a month

[dry inlet]

bro 💀

[autumn herald]

And I doubt my mom

Can do any better

[dry inlet]

psuh harder

[autumn herald]

Why is not going in bro

I AN

I felt something

Let see if I’m

Did I do it?

[dry inlet]

nope

[autumn herald]

Do I remove it and push again

Or just keep pushing

[dry inlet]

no

keep push

[spring topaz]

that looks like its fully in

why keep pushing

[dry inlet]

It's clearly not

[autumn herald]

I’m tryna take new pic

But I keep failing the angle

[dry inlet]

I can't tell from that angle

[autumn herald]

If this where to be put in wrong

And pc turned on

What would happen

[dry inlet]

Wouldn't boot

[autumn herald]

Ok if that happens then ik the issue

At least

Ima try to push harder again

And if I don’t feel anything we move on

[dry inlet]

Try to take a better photo

Or take a video and stick it in there

[autumn herald]

I think its in

😱

[dry inlet]

Can't tell 🤷‍♂️

[autumn herald]

😭

Ima make video

The quality got butchered

😭

[dry inlet]

literally just stick your phone in there

[autumn herald]

I am

This metal part blocks the way

what do you think

Ima plug it in the psu

Now

[dry inlet]

Sure

[autumn herald]

Omfg

This is also hard

😭

Do these also go all the way down?

[dry inlet]

wdym

[autumn herald]

This max I could get it to

[dry inlet]

i cant see anything

[autumn herald]

What you mean

[dry inlet]

i cannot see anything in the photo

[autumn herald]

Are these fully in?

[dry inlet]

Yeah

[autumn herald]

So now we screw in psu?

Or do I gotta connect the nzxt fans to it

This has part of the nzxt box

Do h connect it to motherboard?

[dry inlet]

Sata power cable

I'm tryna go to sleep soon

[autumn herald]

Where connect

[autumn herald]

We can finish this quick

🥺

We almost done

[dry inlet]

show your psu cables

[dry inlet]

dwag

dawg

spread them out

[autumn herald]

Alr

There to many

It just looks messy

Table to cramped

😭

[dry inlet]

the cable is labled

[autumn herald]

What’s it called

Btw do you know nzxt boxes

The 3 fans kraken

It comes with a box

But there’s only 3 connectors

Even though each has 2 cables

[dry inlet]

Don't you have a fan hub

[autumn herald]

Yes

It comes with one

But the case comes with one to

But the 3 fans from the case fan hub

Take up all the spaces

So idk what to do I’m confused

@dry inlet

[dry inlet]

Daisy cahin them

[autumn herald]

The case can hub

Has 3 spots left

[dry inlet]

Are you talking about RGB or Power

[autumn herald]

But the fans come with 2 cables

[autumn herald]

Not sure the thing says rgb

But the full ones say fan

I’m so confused

And the one the fans came with also only has 3 connectors

[dry inlet]

What's your question

[autumn herald]

So basically

The nzxt case

Comes with the fan controller

There is 3 spare rgb controllers

But

The kraken cooler I bought

Comes with a fan controller too

But it only has 3 connectors

And the fans come with 2 cables

What do I do

[dry inlet]

Show this

[autumn herald]

And the bottom cable is usb 2.0

[dry inlet]

No, show the headers

[autumn herald]

Ok

These the 2 headers of the fan

Only 1 is compatible with the fan hub

Other one no clue where it goes

[dry inlet]

The 2nd one plugs into a PWM on your motherboard

[autumn herald]

Ok so ima just plug all 3

Into the fan hub

Then connect rest to pwn

Where’s pwn

Located @dry inlet

Is this pwn ?

Cha_fan2?

[dry inlet]

Yes

[autumn herald]

Ok done

@dry inlet

Setup all 3 fans to those

Now where do I connect sata thing

[dry inlet]

To psu

The cable is labelled sata

[autumn herald]

Alr

There to small

To fit in bro

Wth

Wait I don’t have a hard drive

Why do the devices say sata

I’m so confused

Their to big to fit

My motherboard says sata but has no connector

@dry inlet

Help 😭

[dry inlet]

What

[autumn herald]

The sata things are to small

[dry inlet]

The sata power plugs into the sata cable you showed me earlier

[autumn herald]

Show pictures

I’m confused

[dry inlet]

I don’t have pictures

[autumn herald]

I’m confused

Ok sata cable

Where do I connect

[dry inlet]

The sata cable from your psu

[autumn herald]

Where

How does it look

You said I showed you it

Send pic

Wait I found

Cable to put it in

[dry inlet]

Chop chop

It’s 1:30

[autumn herald]

Alright

There’s no more space in my motherboard for

These cables

What do I do

😭

@dry inlet

We continue tomorrow

Ima go to sleep

[chilly vector]

What do you have rn?
Everything but the GPU, radiator and cabling?

[chilly vector]

Also, from what component is this cable coming?

[dry inlet]

What’s it labeled

[autumn herald]

Idk

I honestly give up for today

Ima go to sleep

[autumn herald]

Cpu cooler

Ok gn

I’m probably gonna take my pc tomorrow to like Best Buy

And pay someone to build it for me

If I can’t figure it out

[dry inlet]

Probably a proprietary cable

[autumn herald]

No clue

[dry inlet]

This is why you don’t buy nzxt

It’s making this significantly harder

[autumn herald]

😭

True

But gif

🤷

Ok good night

I usually wake up at 7 am or 8 am

For me it’s 10:41 pm

I’m tired gn

[chilly vector]

Have you looked in the manual for how to install it?
I guess it would say what cable to put where

[autumn herald]

Don’t have manual

I’m so stressed out and confused

I’m probably gonna just ask a guy to make it for me

Good night

[chilly vector]

Oh.. That's Okay
Have fun once you get it built!

[lilac tapir]

you did a good job so far! :)

[lilac tapir]

also this is a legacy USB header, it should fit into one of those USB 2.0 ports on the mobo

but it might be a part of the nzxt controller bit?

check the coolers manual I would say for where it's supposed to go

but I'm guessing it's just USB for some kind of display on the cooler itself?

[autumn herald]

Back

Good morning

[autumn herald]

I found a nzxt usb 2.0 splitter

So I can have 2 extra usb2.0

Such a life saver

Now ima put in the graphics card

And I should be done

Hopefully

[autumn herald]

@dry inlet

I’m tryna put it in the bracket

But it won’t go in

Idk if I’m doing something wrong

I’m tryna put it in the first one

[pallid vault]

[autumn herald]

[pallid vault]

[autumn herald]
