Currently building a PC, it’s my first time. I am currently stuck on the PSU wiring and case wiring with the fans it has.
My issue:
No idea where any of it goes and I tried online but it isn’t well made. Just no idea where what goes where lol
raw zephyr
be more specific or take pictures 😅
analog sinew
fans dont go to the PSU
unless they are super old molex fans ig :D
Fans have a 4 pin connector that goes to a fan hub or the motherboard
but yeah gotta show us
for the PSU, you connect EPS 8pin for CPU, and 12vHighFailure or 8pin PCIE for GPU, then 24 pin mobo, thats it
umbral heron
Big 24-pin goes to the right of RAM
4/8-pin with CPU on it goes on the top left
All PCIe cables go to GPU
And SATA goes to disks

Or really they go in the one place they fit

so you plug half of it in
but like the others said its not necessary

the other goes from a USB port on the mother board to that screen

you dont need to spread it
the pressure will do that

and also, what do I use to clean the top of it before applying the paste? I heard it’s good to do that and I do have some fingerprint and smear marks on it. I seen use 90% or higher alcohol and don’t use paper towels?

if it's non conductive then it shouldnt be an issue, plus if you only use the recommended amount in the middle of the cpu then it shouldnt spill over
mental helm

microfiber cloth + isopropyl alcohol
but if theres no paste on it already then ig you dont really NEED to clean it

honestly if its not got paste on it already then you dont need to worry about cleaning it

how do i know what’s a microfiber cloth? first time hearing that
something non abrasive (paper towels are abrasive) and that doesnt have lint that comes off

Don't worry, just make sure to screw down diagonally as that makes it a lot easier
i.e top right screw and then bottom left
then top left and bottom right

i’m so fkn nervous lol
you can always re paste it if it does wrong dont overthink it

trying that for both sides rn
vapid tree
isn’t fitting over the screw not sure if i pull down or up hard enough idk
Sometimes you need to press down quite a bit, I always try to push the side I'm screwing down, down with the screwdriver and hold the other side down with the other hand
Can be a little tough at first but once the first one is screwed down 50% the other one is easy dw
Good tip for next time you're building: It's a lot easier to screw down the cooler while the motherboard is placed on It's box i.e before installing it in the case. Can apply a little more pressure that way without the motherboard bending all too much
vapid tree
Paste spread looks great you're fine in that department
If you have a second person around that makes it a little easier as well
one holds down one screws down
eternal jacinth
i don’t
digital cliff
i dunno it's not rocket science, you screw the screw on
vapid tree
Keep trying then, you'll be fine (You really can apply quite a bit more pressure than you'd think)
analog sinew
yeah know that feel you can press pretty hard without it doing anything but it can be tricky to get the screws to grab
eternal jacinth
ok i think i got it
it was like not reaching all the way i believe
how tight do I wanna screw this down?
pale sigil
until it doesn't screw anymore
Ehhhh
eternal jacinth
uh???
pale sigil
Personally I've been to scared
eternal jacinth
i jsut did that am i worried now
eternal jacinth
pale sigil
It's amd4
Don't worry
As fleimi said, screw till it doesn't but even not doing that is fine.
Personally I like not to.
eternal jacinth
ok but should i screw it as he said?
ok
i am gonna screw it not too tight i guess
i’m shitting myself rn lol
pale sigil
I would maybe do it till you get some resistance and make a judgement on it
But even if you do don't worry honestly
digital cliff
do as you wish ig
pale sigil
Also do a bit ob each side at a time
analog sinew
dont worry you wont break the cpu this way
pale sigil
Makes it easier as the more that's screwed on one side the more residence on the other.
Again, that's just how I do it.
analog sinew
screw till it stops turning, usually there is an abrupt point where it stops
mental helm
you wont break the cpu by tightening it, its spring loaded, plus youre incrementing it going top to bottom to top to bottom etc
just dont screw enough to strip the screws
analog sinew
yeah you'd have to use excessive force to break anything
pale sigil
After manyyyyyyyyyy years and manyyyyyy builds I still get a little cautious with the cpu so it's normal.
analog sinew
ye
eternal jacinth
ok i screwed it to where it took like 1-2 turns on each spin to make it turn
not too tight but like tight.
mental helm
tight enough that you're hitting a wall when you try to screw it lightly
eternal jacinth
i even tried to put some orsssure on moving it with my hand it feels sturdy
digital cliff
i install my cpus with a hammer
pale sigil
i install my cpus with a hammer

Put it in 1st slot and 3rd slot
Depends on mobo, they should check the manual

Ye
digital cliff
though these days I do have the 300kg steam powerhammer that I sometimes use too
mental helm
Depends on mobo, they should check the manual
iirc theyre using a board that dual channel is 1+3
from what i saw earlier
eternal jacinth
that’s the like usb for the screen display for the cpu
digital cliff
malphaze go read the mobo manual please
balmy vector
Hence why i say they should use the manual 
analog sinew
that’s the like usb for the screen display for the cpu
no thats the fan/ pump connector
pale sigil
That's the pump
eternal jacinth
malphaze go read the mobo manual please
what am i reading
pale sigil
There should be a connector next to the CPU

no duh, it’s my first time building this and I live in a dead town with no friends who game like this lol
dull hollow
slot numbers are different on each motherboard 🔥 (i forgot)
digital cliff
yes so read the manual
the point of the manual is to be the instructions on how to use the product
pale sigil
eternal jacinth
manual doesn’t have anything that’s the issue lol
eternal jacinth
this is the only paper tha came with the mobo
mental helm
the point of the manual is to be the instructions on how to use the product
why does it impact you, just let him ask questions
eternal jacinth
I assume that plug to the AIO display goes in the top right correct?
digital cliff
point is when you don't know anything, you don't always know what to ask
that's why you should read all the available information first
mental helm
hes been using videos n pictures to communicate what he doesnt recognise
digital cliff
do as you wish ig
analog sinew
I assume that plug to the AIO display goes in the top right correct?
no!
eternal jacinth
that's why you should read all the available information first
I tried that. Some things don’t fully explain as you seen in that manual picture, has 0 mobo explanation
eternal jacinth
ok but i have a question, why is it connected to “fan” when it’s just a usb display?
analog sinew

this is the pump
eternal jacinth
wait what
eternal jacinth
i’m so lost hang on
analog sinew
their display is connected to an internal usb2.0 connector
eternal jacinth
waittt
pale sigil
Oh wait do the fans go into the the pump
eternal jacinth
i got it mixed up i was confusing myself
pale sigil
Like Corsair
pale sigil
Because usually radiator fans should go into the CPU header surely
mental helm
I've only seen one PWM connector and one usb so far
same thought process
pale sigil
Basically the pump powers and controls the fans
analog sinew
yep
eternal jacinth
And bring it through the bottom
you mean the display usb?
eternal jacinth
like plug it in and shove the extra wiring underneath till it reaches the cpu display?
pale sigil
As your usb header is at the bottom
eternal jacinth
yea it’s long and in the way
eternal jacinth
mental helm
like above the case
pale sigil
Ye
mental helm
birds eye view
eternal jacinth
LOL
mental helm
so we can see the motherboard entirely XDDD
eternal jacinth
eternal jacinth
I suspected you had it facing down
it was on its back for the cpu paste and cooler added for that reason
pale sigil
Perfect
pale sigil
Do what I do is where the white is, shove it through a gap to go in the back of the case
Blue is behind the case and white at the bottom is pulling the wire through a small slot and plugging it in down there.
dull hollow
having the fans already in is a pain
eternal jacinth
eternal jacinth
having the fans already in is a pain
they came in prebuilt
dull hollow
oh
pale sigil
Oh wait
eternal jacinth
yea i can where are you trying to put the wire to? under and behind the mobo or under the fans?
dull hollow
theres no gap at the bottom?
use the holes on the right side of the motherboard
pale sigil
Is the threaded wire from the case fans
dull hollow
you can still route it through the back and then back in higher
pale sigil
Basically wherever you can have it behind the case as much as possible and have it come out somewhere close to the usb header
pale sigil
eternal jacinth
it’s already plugged in btw @pale sigil
idk why the video quality is poor
should be 4k at 120fps
pale sigil
Ok now I'm confused
eternal jacinth
LMAO
dull hollow
maybe smth like this (red is where to run it and yellow is enter/exit)
since you dont have any holes under the motherboard
eternal jacinth
Why is that wire down there
wdym what wire
pale sigil
The one you were holding
eternal jacinth
maybe smth like this (red is where to run it and yellow is enter/exit)
there is a decent gap under the mouth board tho
eternal jacinth
The one you were holding
no it’s plugged into the USB
eternal jacinth
pale sigil
What you said in the video
Is correct
Or if you can't do that do what takmon suggested
But that's more of a cable management thing
dull hollow
there is a decent gap under the mouth board tho
oh, couldnt tell from the image lol
pale sigil
oh, couldnt tell from the image lol
It's the fans
eternal jacinth
oh wait i don’t have a open form the bottom side
i’m gonna try to cable manage it
dull hollow
either way would work and hide the cable more
eternal jacinth
brb may do what @dull hollow said
dull hollow
it doesnt even have to come out from the side
it can come out from the top and straight down

like this?
does it matter if the wire is touching the sides of the mother or the motherboard itself at all?
dull hollow
nah it shouldnt matter
mental helm
the cables are shielded so no
eternal jacinth
it only matters when metal is touching right?

i spent over like 4,000 in a week
I bought a new desk

your friend said it shouldnt be in 2+4?
pale sigil
now you gotta buy an audio interface, an xlr mic, $1,000 headphones
And an RGB metal desk
eternal jacinth
Basically I said shouldn’t the RAM have a space right? He was like depends shows me the motherboard the other day and he said it shouldn’t have to because it has that A1-A2 next to each other

Just don't get magnet if you havr a wooting
eternal jacinth

alrdy got the mic 😂
mental helm
Basically I said shouldn’t the RAM have a space right? He was like depends shows...
No, according to your mobo manual, it should be in A2 and B2
dull hollow
Basically I said shouldn’t the RAM have a space right? He was like depends shows...
thats now how it works

Just don't get magnet if you havr a wooting
wdym? magnet?

and fake plants
mental helm
Put it in the 2nd and 4th slot

Some of them cringe RGB metal desks have magenta built into them to attach desk mats

Your not eating them, wasting the macroplastics
pale sigil
mental helm
What’s the reason again? if you don’t mind explaining so i learn?
basically opening 2 paths of data instead of 1 from memory
more data paths = higher speed of transmission
dull hollow
What’s the reason again? if you don’t mind explaining so i learn?
it helps you get the full memory bandwidth and increase performance from the ram using 2 different channels instead of just 1 (like what twenty said)

paying for cooler looks
i couldve bought at 600

or you cant control them
smth like that

but nothing will ultimately “break” yea?

i mean theres always a risk of it

now i’m back to worrying

day in the life of plugging random wires into random prongs
eternal jacinth
i’ve been stressed the entire week 😭 that’s why i’ve been double checking, double asking, etc
mental helm
if you paid attention n did what you were told n read the relevant manual parts, youre gonna be fine
slap the GPU in, plug it up n boot it
dull hollow
just double check every wire to make sure its plugged in all the way
eternal jacinth
ok brb

oh and dont worry its gonna take a while for the first boot

eternal jacinth
oh and dont worry its gonna take a while for the first boot
🤨

thats normal that it takes a minute or two to boot
eternal jacinth
how long long?
dull hollow
could be a minute, could be 10
mental helm
longest i've seen is like 8 minutes
eternal jacinth
Should I connect a monitor to the GPU or test to see if it actually runs first?
dull hollow
well ideally you wouldve done that outside of the case
but not everyone wants to do that lol
eternal jacinth
wdym outside the case
dull hollow
like build everything up outside the case to test parts to boot up
eternal jacinth
oh..
eternal jacinth
But if i turn it on without a monitor and everything lights up, im good yea?
dull hollow
welll....... you should still at least connect a monitor to the gpu
eternal jacinth
before i try to first test it?
mental helm
should def have a monitor plugged in when you boot
eternal jacinth
ok so before i actually press the power button, put a monitor up to see if it actually works, not just the lights
dull hollow
mental helm
yeah, plug a monitor in when you boot
eternal jacinth
cause i seen videos of ppl building pc’s and use no monitor but boot it for the thing to run and we’re like it works lol
dull hollow
gpu in, plug in gpu, plug in monitor and first boot is ready
i wouldve left cable management till after the first boot
dull hollow
oh btw you should use the GPU sag bracket
eternal jacinth
what’s the best way to put down a gpu? on its side or back
dull hollow
no one likes saggy gpus and it can potentally damage it over time
eternal jacinth
oh btw you should use the GPU sag bracket
i will but ima need help with that
dull hollow
id say on the fans
steady sail
what’s the best way to put down a gpu? on its side or back
on its box or the mobo's box
mental helm
just put it on carpet
dull hollow
or you can put it sideways
eternal jacinth
ok which bracket does it even go into?
dull hollow
top slot under the cpu
dull hollow
yes
eternal jacinth

make sure you take out the uh.... whats it called

those

yeah those

try lining it up with the gpu and then see which one you have to take out

eternal jacinth
all of them are?
dull hollow
its gigabyte, i have the same sag bracket system
dull hollow
all of them are?
the gpu should come with instructions to install them
eternal jacinth
let me check
dull hollow
wait a second.......
i dont think itll work cause you have fans at the bottom of your case
and the sag bracket doesnt mount to the case
this is the base of the sag bracket system
dull hollow
unless its somehow perfectly in line with the middle of 2 fans, i dont see this working
mental helm
if you cant get it right in the middle of the fans then you might have to get a sag bracket that mounts horizontally
dull hollow
you can order sag bracket online that mount either to the back of the case or over the fans
mental helm
one that you screw into the expansion slots
unkempt lake
I don't wanna buy new mobo and ram XD
5700x3d

one that you screw into the expansion slots
one of these could work

okay so

the same place the GPU is screwed down on
its not that kind of sag bracket

it looks like it tho

@eternal jacinth this is how its meant to be installed
dull hollow
no its not meant to go into the fans

i highly doubt your gpu is short enough for that space
who has a what now?
