#

I really need a separate router that could share the dorm wifi connection via NAT, don't I

severe falcon
#

pig, try to debug my code above

subtle hawk
#

this really won't happen if my switch supports 802.11x enterprise

severe falcon
#

i just realized the problem and have no idea how it didnt break in a worse way

#

NO WAIT

#

IT CANT BE THAT

#

yeah so i still have no idea

#

wait yep figured it out

#

im just dumb

#

as always

subtle hawk
#

can consumer wifi access point do that

#

connect to a wifi network and share it on a different local network

severe falcon
#

uhhh i know a phone can act like a wifi router

#

actually it might have to be lan

subtle hawk
#

yes but you're 100% stuck on mobile data as a source

severe falcon
#

no not mobile hotspot

#

its tethering

#

yeah USB tethering

#

so your phone works like a wifi adapter

subtle hawk
#

I can't have my phone recognize a USB LAN adapter

severe falcon
#

like you connect phone to comp with usb and it gives your comp wifi

subtle hawk
#

that's not how usb tethering works

severe falcon
#

wait then is it the opposite?

subtle hawk
#

yes

severe falcon
#

oh so the phone steals wifi from the comp

subtle hawk
#

you share the mobile data over usb to the connected device

severe falcon
#

what

#

thats not how my phone explained it at all

#

well that explains why its permanently disabled just like my mobile hotspot

valid acorn
#

@unborn flicker Isn't that a new laptop?

#

How can it be ruined?

#

I'll check your spare parts later

valid acorn
subtle hawk
#

not sure about shipping though

#

@subtle hawk to do that you need a device with 2 wireless cards

#

or a wireless repeater

#

yeah

#

can wifi router do that too

#

not rlly

#

a wifi card can only be in 1 mode at a time

#

station which is the mide where is makes a wifi access point

#

or client when it connects to another wifi AP

#

I see

#

hm wait can you actually make wifi repeater repeat under the different network

#

depends

#

but most of them can

#

you can always check the user guide to see if it has that

stone wave
subtle hawk
#

also @subtle hawk what does this mean
station which is the mide where is makes a wifi access point

valid acorn
#

Guess we wait for the money to fly to you @unborn flicker 💸

subtle hawk
#

@subtle hawk a wifi router by default is in station mode

#

ah

#

so it can't be configured to be a wifi receiver and access point at the same time?

#

nope

#

only one

#

that's why you need two cards

#

for pc?

#

my pc's card can actually do both at the same time but it's slow

#

the mobile hotspot button is enabled even though it's connected to the wifi network

#

when I boot to windows

#

not ur pc

#

the device ur try to use to make a new hotsport from

#

ah Thonk

subtle hawk
#

oof

valid acorn
#

sold for scrap

tame topaz
#

@flint bobcat naisu. When are you building it?

flint bobcat
#

Idk

#

Today

#

Because

#

Amazon and USPS is being dumb

#

USPS says it's arriving today, but Amazon says tomorrow GWshizuPlsRember

tame topaz
#

oof

stone wave
#

I hope you enjoy the strong reading materials Aria.

flint bobcat
#

Yeah mith, I'm good with reading

subtle hawk
#

@flint bobcat pc building livestream

flint bobcat
#

I mean I could

stone wave
#

Aria gonna be too busy reading my 1st edition signed copy of The Lusty Argonian Maid to even use his PC.

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

(This is a TES III, IV, V reference)

flint bobcat
#

@stone wave so do I match the 2 notches together

stone wave
#

?

flint bobcat
#

There's a gold triangle on the bottom of the CPU

#

On one of the corners

stone wave
#

line up the triangles

flint bobcat
#

Ok

stone wave
#

oh also don't screw the motherboard directly onto the case

#

it has to sit on the risers

subtle hawk
stone wave
#

screws for the motherboard as well as the motherboard risers tend to come with the case and not the motherboard, and since you're working with a pre-built... IDK if you can scavenge any risers or whatever

subtle hawk
#

they should be welded on

#

unlike usual cases

stone wave
#

yeah worst case scenario that motherboard box is is new case

subtle hawk
flint bobcat
#

Is this correct?

subtle hawk
#

ye

stone wave
#

screw diagonally

subtle hawk
#

ye

flint bobcat
#

Ye

subtle hawk
#

it a cross pattern

stone wave
#

in an X shape

#

Yamato, if he can't transplant the motherboard he's gonna have to jump the pins to turn on his new computer EntyLUL

subtle hawk
#

I think his mobo has buttons

flint bobcat
#

Bruh I can't get them to screw in together

subtle hawk
#

it's a pressure mount

#

put in some elbow grease

stone wave
#

the screws are spring loaded

#

yeah

flint bobcat
#

Ohh ok

#

It worked

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

Does it matter which way I connect it to the sys fan1

subtle hawk
#

ye

#

duuh

stone wave
#

you connect the CPU cooler to the one that says CPU or CPU FAN or w/e

#

usually located towards the top of the motherboard

flint bobcat
#

Ok

#

Does it matter which ram slot I use

stone wave
#

no but you're gonna want to go dual channel at some point

#

maybe after you get a different case

#

cause i'm thinking the dell optiplex isn't built to mount standard ATX compliant motherboards

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

no no

#

the cable goes to the one that says CPU

subtle hawk
#

it's the top one u dum dum

stone wave
#

otherwise itll send too little power to the CPU cooler fan

subtle hawk
#

top left of the RAM

#

they're the same @stone wave

flint bobcat
#

Oh

stone wave
#

are they?

subtle hawk
#

it's just that the CPU sensor will freak out

#

that there is no CPU fan connected

flint bobcat
#

Wait how do I take itout

stone wave
#

either way, plug the fan cable for the CPU to the top

subtle hawk
#

just pull it

stone wave
#

pull on the heat shrink tubing

#

not the nylon sleeve

#

Yamato, did he install the heatsink the wrong way?

#

doesn't look like he has clearance on RAM slot 1

#

@flint bobcat if you had another stick of RAM would it fit in the empty slot, or is the CPU cooler in the way?

flint bobcat
#

I would have to rotate the CPU cooler

stone wave
#

yeah, i suggest you do that

#

the video i linked even mentioned about that AMD thing potentially obstructing a RAM slot

flint bobcat
#

What is this for

#

Also I can't take it off,it's glued

#

@stone wave

stone wave
#

is that the mounting bracket that was behind the motherboard?

flint bobcat
#

Ye

#

It was under it

stone wave
#

do you need the bracket to mount the stock cooler?

#

(refer to manual)

flint bobcat
#

Uh idk

tame topaz
#

For me it did yes

#

I used a Wraith Stealth too and it also required the backplate

flint bobcat
#

Shit did I mess up

tame topaz
#

don't worry just take it out, screw in the backplate then put the heatsink back on

flint bobcat
#

Heatsink is stuck

#

It's like glued

tame topaz
#

Unscrew again

#

And unplug fan cable

flint bobcat
#

It's all unscrewed

stone wave
#

Aria RTFM

tame topaz
#

Try to pull it out still

#

But yes

#

RTFM

quartz atlas
#

look at that sexy mobo

#

i overclock it so bad

tame topaz
#

eh it's kinda low end-ish

#

same for me but I got it for dirt cheap

quartz atlas
#

low end mobos are sexy too

tame topaz
#

No MOSFET heatsinks but still can OC my 2200G easily

quartz atlas
flint bobcat
#

It's like really stuck

stone wave
#

I got mine dirt cheap, it's a Z170 that was discounted and came with Mafia III and I'm running Kaby Lake on it curtsey of a BIOS update.

quartz atlas
#

really gets my voltage ramped

subtle hawk
#

U want me to whip out my mobo? OwariWOKE

quartz atlas
#

have you tried apply elbow grease aria

tame topaz
#

It's probably the thermal paste

quartz atlas
#

like wiggle it abit

stone wave
#

lefty loosey, righty tighty

flint bobcat
#

I've unscrewed the screws already

quartz atlas
#

like wiggle wiggle the whole heatsink

tame topaz
flint bobcat
#

Fish

stone wave
#

yeah you might have to wiggle or push down on it to unscrew

flint bobcat
#

Thanks

tame topaz
#

My board is this lowly thing right here

flint bobcat
#

It worked

quartz atlas
tame topaz
#

Alrighty

stone wave
#

cause the captive springs push on the remaining screws

quartz atlas
#

my motherboard is in my laptop EntyLUL

tame topaz
#

Now put that heatsink face down so you won't get the thermal paste on the surface

#

and screw in the backplate

#

It's kinda finnicky tbh this whole thing

stone wave
#

Shit guys, Aria is the big mod version of EN doesn't read. AkagiLUL

quartz atlas
subtle hawk
#

lemme turn off the PC, pull out the cards and take a pic of the mobo

quartz atlas
#

wtf yama

tame topaz
#

tf

quartz atlas
#

just find a pic online smh

flint bobcat
subtle hawk
#

nah fish

stone wave
#

no

tame topaz
#

No

stone wave
#

its a backplate

tame topaz
#

The backside

flint bobcat
#

How

subtle hawk
#

that takes me like 1 min to do

#

since the pc is on my desk

tame topaz
#

Put it on the backside then screw it in

quartz atlas
subtle hawk
#

DEM CURVES

tame topaz
#

a little detailing on budget mobo is quite nice

flint bobcat
tame topaz
#

This is my dream board still

quartz atlas
#

that looks PSed

flint bobcat
#

That's the backside of it

tame topaz
#

no the backside of the mobo

quartz atlas
#

why silver+rgb on black

flint bobcat
#

Oh

tame topaz
#

believe it or not it actually looks quite nice

subtle hawk
stone wave
#

but Aria did you RTFM to see if you need the backplate

quartz atlas
#

rbg

flint bobcat
#

Ye

#

Ok

stone wave
#

it's different depending on the make and model

tame topaz
#

rich bastard

quartz atlas
#

also

stone wave
#

so we can't really blindly tell you

quartz atlas
#

is that 2 different gpus MutsukiHyperStare

stone wave
#

Yamato be running that PhysX card like it's 2008.

stone wave
tame topaz
#

best part about the thing is that the RGB is addressable

quartz atlas
#

oh ye, that looks much better

stone wave
#

no RGB except on bootup and shutdown for me

quartz atlas
#

i like the digital camo kinda vibe

flint bobcat
#

Is this it?

stone wave
#

ye that looks right

tame topaz
#

looks like it

#

Take a pic of the back of the mobo

quartz atlas
#

the board looks tiny now

stone wave
#

RAM slots unobstructed, CPU cooler fan plugged in the right place

#

yeah thats microATX

flint bobcat
quartz atlas
#

inb4 it doesnt boot EntyLUL

flint bobcat
#

Now to I install into case

tame topaz
quartz atlas
#

and aria shorted the whole board with static EntyLUL

stone wave
#

Aria probably gonna end up pulling out is PSU and running without a case unless he lucc saccs with his Optiplex case.

tame topaz
#

Optiplexes aren't exactly known for being DIY-friendly...

quartz atlas
#

just use the motherboard box as a case BuckySmug

#

best airflow

stone wave
#

those OEM pre-builts aren't full ATX standard

tame topaz
#

wait a sec

stone wave
#

so your guess is as good as mine

tame topaz
#

is it SFF or mini tower?

stone wave
#

err its some microATX i3 thing

subtle hawk
stone wave
#

if you're asking about Aria's

tame topaz
#

If it's SFF then it's gonna be a hecc more painful

#

glowing PCIe locks

#

fancy

stone wave
#

Yamato go full metal hardline open loop SandyMeme

tame topaz
#

no that's AIO

stone wave
#

I'm saying he should.

tame topaz
#

oh wait

#

nvm

#

Aria's case is mini tower. We're good sorta.

stone wave
#

IDK cause his case might not have the right mounting holes

tame topaz
#

Taking that original mobo out is gonna be a PITA tho

stone wave
#

and Dell probably doesn't bother drilling out holes for risers

#

we'll see I guess

#

cause it's been like a decade since I've completely torn apart a Dell Optiplex of any sort.

tame topaz
#

standoff, standoffs...

stone wave
#

I don't think Dell even uses standoffs/risers in their cases.

tame topaz
#

Note to aria: sort your screws when you unscrew them.

stone wave
#

unless you count the welded on shit

tame topaz
#

I mean at least they use proper ATX I/O shields

#

so there's hope

stone wave
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

It would be amusing to see Aria's build log and the complete build has his case being the mobo box, and his start button being a screw driver and him starting it by jumping the mobo pins.

#

worst case scenario, find a plastic milk box and some cable ties

subtle hawk
#

@stone wave that's the plan OwariWOKE

#

but for that I need to change the case

#

this one only supports a dual rad in the front and a single one in the back

#

top is too thin to fit one

stone wave
#

How about one of those Lian Li cases

tame topaz
#

In Win Z Tower

flint bobcat
#

How do I take this off

stone wave
#

push on the tab and pull

subtle hawk
#

push on the clip

stone wave
#

hard

subtle hawk
#

then pull

stone wave
#

pull the plastic part and not the cables

flint bobcat
#

Oh ok

#

Got it ouy

subtle hawk
#

mind u it's a bitch to take out

tame topaz
#

Yeah

#

Especially hard with puny arms like mine

subtle hawk
#

alright pc rebooted

flint bobcat
#

Mith when you said pull onplastic, I've already pulled it out by the wires

subtle hawk
#

meh

stone wave
#

sometimes the wires slip out

#

and you got to re-thread them back in

subtle hawk
#

it's rare but sometimes the connectors might get out of the plastic housing

tame topaz
#

and oh god

#

How are we even gonna guide you through the most nightmarish part

#

or maybe just plain annoying

flint bobcat
#

What part is that

subtle hawk
#

cable management

tame topaz
#

front panel headers

subtle hawk
#

that's ez

flint bobcat
#

Panel headers?

tame topaz
#

the connectors are just tiny

#

eh you can care about that later

subtle hawk
#

the power button

#

reset button

flint bobcat
#

Oh

subtle hawk
#

activity LED

tame topaz
#

just focus on getting the mobo installed first

#

or actually

flint bobcat
#

Well I took a photo of the old setup

#

So I can follow that

tame topaz
#

I suggest plugging those things in right now

flint bobcat
#

I need to go with my brother somewhere

#

So I'm gonna be gone for an hour

tame topaz
#

outside of the case so you don't have to mess around with it later

flint bobcat
#

I'm gonna have to do this twice cause I'm gonna buy a new case later on

subtle hawk
#

I told u to save up a few bucks to get a case too

flint bobcat
tame topaz
#

Yeah just buy a case now

flint bobcat
#

I don't have no ey

#

Money

tame topaz
#

for like 30-40 you can get a half-decent one

flint bobcat
#

Well by the time I get a new case, I'll be getting a new PSU also

tame topaz
#

Alrighty

flint bobcat
#

Btw,do I need to reinstall drivers or stuff

stone wave
#

umm do you have anything that isn't plug and play?

flint bobcat
#

Er

#

Wdym

flint bobcat
#

I did get a disk

tame topaz
#

chipset drivers too

stone wave
#

just download

flint bobcat
#

Oh ok

stone wave
#

anyways g2g

tame topaz
#

among other stuff like audio and LAN

stone wave
#

that stuff was all plug and play for me, either that or W10 got them all for me and i never noticed

tame topaz
#

oh yeah radeon software too

flint bobcat
#

So would I need to reinstall windowsalso

tame topaz
#

Probably no need?

#

You might just need to enter your activation key again

flint bobcat
#

I used an OEM key

subtle hawk
#

@stone wave w10 handled it for you

#

@flint bobcat you only need the chipset driver from ur manufacturer

flint bobcat
#

Ah okthanks

stone wave
#

Remember when you needed drivers off of physical media, even your NIC

#

I don recall but I think I needed them to use a SATA hard drive at one point or something...

flint bobcat
#

@subtle hawk

subtle hawk
#

idk if u can

#

@flint bobcat you can try to push it inwards

#

but if it doesnt come out then you're SoL

#

and either have to dremmle or new case

flint bobcat
#

Ok I got it in

#

@subtle hawk I need help again

subtle hawk
#

blacklist?

flint bobcat
#

How do I click it in

subtle hawk
#

you push hard

#

not with the mobo

#

with ur hand

flint bobcat
#

Push what

subtle hawk
#

if it stays in place then u gucci

#

the I/O shield

#

then you allign the mobo to the shield

flint bobcat
#

How about the clip on the io shield

#

Where do I place that

subtle hawk
#

it's for tension

#

don't bend it

flint bobcat
#

Like this?

stone wave
#

Aria didn't cut himself with the I/O shield?

flint bobcat
#

No?

stone wave
#

Well there goes that meme.

flint bobcat
#

But is that the correct way

stone wave
#

For some reason people seem to cut themselves with the I/O shield.

subtle hawk
#

ye liek that

#

fun fact

#

my mobo doesn't have a I/O shield

stone wave
#

wat

subtle hawk
#

ye

stone wave
#

did it not come with it

subtle hawk
#

no

#

it's built in

stone wave
#

o

#

so it technically does have one

subtle hawk
#

well technically

stone wave
#

makes sense, cause people finish their builds but forget the IO shield

#

then gotta tear that shit apart

flint bobcat
#

Ok next thing, what is this for @stone wave

stone wave
#

Is that a SATA cable? can't really tell from the side

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

yeah its a sata cable

#

for plugging into the motherboard then the hard drive/ssd

#

or optical drive (CD/DVD/Blu Ray)

flint bobcat
#

How do I do that GWshizuPlsRember

#

Oh

stone wave
#

notice how there's a bent notch make sure it lines up with the mobo or device and just push it in place

#

if it has a tab like the one you have you need to depress the tab when pulling when unplugging the cable

flint bobcat
#

I see sata3 sata4

stone wave
#

you should have 4 sata ports with that motherboard

tidal grove
#

can anyone recommend me a good case UniSip

stone wave
#

just stick it where ever

#

Err I got the Phanteks P600s and I like it, what kinda case did you have in mind?

flint bobcat
#

I am so confused GWshizuPlsRember

tidal grove
#

is there a case that won't get so much dust in there

#

LOL i get too much dust in my current one

stone wave
#

match it on the cable

#

and the cable is for SSDs, hard drives, CD/DVD or Blu Ray drives

#

For dust issues I think your fan configuration is what matters most, then having some removable filters would make maintenance easier.

flint bobcat
#

These?

stone wave
#

yeah those are SATA ports

flint bobcat
#

There are 2 sata 1 ports on the bottom

#

Wait NVM

#

On the bottom there is sata 1 and 2

#

Do I plug Into Sata 1 @stone wave

stone wave
#

Sure

#

It shouldn't really matter, except for some motherboards (like mine)

flint bobcat
#

Ok I got HDD done GWshizuPlsRember

stone wave
#

and even then that's only if you occupy the M.2 slot

#

HDD also needs SATA power

flint bobcat
#

Wait wtf

stone wave
#

it should look similar but the cable comes from your PSU

#

like SATA but longer

flint bobcat
#

This power supply has slots whole this mobo has 8 slots

#

Fuck

stone wave
#

WDYM

flint bobcat
#

This old mobo only fitted 4 slots

stone wave
#

no SATA power?

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

This thing?

#

See 4 pin

stone wave
#

that's CPU power

flint bobcat
#

My new mobo has 8 pins

#

Uh oh

stone wave
#

line up the shapes

#

and plug it in

#

it only fits in one way

#

just plug it in

flint bobcat
#

Oh I can do that?

subtle hawk
#

well aria needs new PSU

stone wave
#

not ideal

subtle hawk
stone wave
#

but for the time being

subtle hawk
#

not even sure if it will boot in the first place

stone wave
#

it either will or it wont

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

it only fits in one way

#

you can also look at the shape of each pin thing

flint bobcat
#

Ok I got it in like this

#

Bruh stupid ass flash

stone wave
#

it's either gonna start up fine cause the 2400g doesn't eat that much power or it won't start cause not enough power

#

but if you see blue smoke, that's why you buy from amazon

flint bobcat
#

Ok I have orange cable that's connected to the DVD

#

Where should I connect it to

stone wave
#

orange cable?

#

is that your old sata cable?

flint bobcat
#

Yeah

#

Should I replace with new

stone wave
#

where ever

#

nah

#

or just run with no optical drive

#

i havent used a dvd or cd in nearly a decade

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

yeah thats a sata cable

#

and the spaghetti next to it is for power

flint bobcat
#

So I don't need it?

stone wave
#

you can plug it in to the motherboard

#

or if you dont want the dvd drive just leave it unplugged

flint bobcat
#

Yeah I'll leave it unplugged

#

Ok for the sys fan 1, do I plug the external fan into it

stone wave
#

my case has no accommodations for internal 5.25" drives lol

#

yea

flint bobcat
#

Now what's this

subtle hawk
#

oh boi

#

that

stone wave
#

Is that to detect if the case is open

flint bobcat
#

Idk

subtle hawk
#

that's a intrusion sensor

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

lmao

flint bobcat
#

Lol

stone wave
#

leave it

flint bobcat
#

Where to plug it into

#

Or do I just remove it

stone wave
#

i wouldnt bother with it

flint bobcat
#

So don't even plug it in?

stone wave
#

nah

#

idk if there even is a place to plug it in unless it just runs off of molex or sata power

#

or 3-pin or some shit

flint bobcat
#

Ok I think I'm done GWshizuPlsRember

stone wave
#

is your hard drive connected with a power cable?

flint bobcat
#

Ye it is

stone wave
#

ok did you do the motherboard headers for front usb and audio?

flint bobcat
#

The what now

#

What's that mean GWshizuPlsRember

stone wave
#

do you have usb ports in the front of your case

#

or audio jacks

#

and do you use them?

flint bobcat
#

Oh I forgot those wires were there

#

These things right?

stone wave
#

yea

#

and holy shit the dust in my case

subtle hawk
#

mine are well hidden

flint bobcat
#

Where are those even connected to

#

JUSB 1?

stone wave
#

my vertically mounted GPU was blocking that shit in my defense

subtle hawk
#

somewhere at the bottom of the mobo

stone wave
#

it should be obvious like it will say USB

#

or HD AUDIO

#

and one of the pins should be blanked/covered

#

just match that

flint bobcat
#

There's JAUD1, JLED1, JCOM1, JTPM1, JUSB1-2

stone wave
#

AUD1 is audio

#

USB is USB

flint bobcat
#

Idk which wire to connect it to

#

Yellow or green

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

I don't have any wording on it

stone wave
#

err what do you have the MSI B450M pro something

flint bobcat
#

B450 PRO-M2

stone wave
#

like do the cables not have words or can you not find it on the motherboard?

flint bobcat
#

The cables have no wording

#

The mobo does

stone wave
#

USB 2.0 header cable is 2x5 with 1 blanked

#

if they're both like that they're both USB

#

the blanked pin should be in the corner

flint bobcat
#

Yeah

stone wave
#

when I say blanked there's nothing on it

#

not even a hole

flint bobcat
#

Oh ok found it

stone wave
#

Audio is the same but the blanked pin IS NOT in a corner

#

it's the 2nd one, or 2nd to last depending on which direction you're looking at it

flint bobcat
#

Got those 2 in

stone wave
#

And just to be safe, you didn't screw the motherboard directly to the case right?

#

It's sitting on standoffs/raisers right?

flint bobcat
#

I did

#

Wait

#

No it's on lifted things

stone wave
#

ok

#

cause otherwise it will instant fry when you press the on button

flint bobcat
#

So I have this one more connector

stone wave
#

i can't tell with a side view

flint bobcat
#

It was with the USB and audio connectors

stone wave
#

it might be USB 3

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

nope

flint bobcat
#

I could just skip it

stone wave
#

yeah

flint bobcat
#

Since I got USB and audio already

#

Ok lemme boot it up

stone wave
#

did you do the power/reset/led

flint bobcat
#

Uh

#

FYCK

#

Uh ignore that

#

Lemme see

stone wave
#

lol

flint bobcat
#

I think I did, since everything is connected

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

Should I just try booting it the.

#

Then

subtle hawk
#

go for broke

flint bobcat
#

Wut

stone wave
#

That shit

#

bottom right

#

blurry ass picture so it took me a second to notice where it was

flint bobcat
#

JFP2

#

?

stone wave
#

JFP1

subtle hawk
#

LED PWR
LED RST

flint bobcat
#

Oh ok

subtle hawk
#

idk which LED is which doe

flint bobcat
#

Idk if I even have a connector for it

stone wave
#

there are these loose cables either single or pair

#

and you match that shit and plug it in according to the diagram

#

nah every case should have it

flint bobcat
#

Can't find it

stone wave
#

it runs from the case not the power supply or anything else

flint bobcat
#

This?

stone wave
#

they should be loose cables

flint bobcat
#

Err

stone wave
#

unless we're looking at proprietary Dell shit

subtle hawk
#

like tiny single strand shits

stone wave
#

its fine if you don't have them

#

it just means you're starting your computer with a screw driver or paper clip

#

until you can order a new case or order a power button

#

all you really need is the power switch it's fine if you're missing the other ones

flint bobcat
#

Wait what

#

But my power from the old mobo worked perfectly

#

How else did I turn it on

stone wave
#

that unknown cable must have done the same thing

#

it's just that that cable is only for dell's shit

flint bobcat
#

Oh lol

#

Ok

#

So

#

How do I turn it on then

stone wave
#

the bottom right

flint bobcat
#

Not exach

#

JFP2 is above SATA1

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

Yeah that one

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

Wut

stone wave
#

bridge those 2 pins with a metal object

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

unless you have a jumper

flint bobcat
#

Wait maybe I can go buy it right now

#

What's the thing called

#

The power connector

stone wave
#

a power button?

subtle hawk
#

or u can just use a screwdriver

flint bobcat
#

Uh

stone wave
#

or a pin jumper

#

yeah thats what i was saying

subtle hawk
#

anything metal works

#

if u want you can put 2 wires there and just bridge them want to turn on the pc

#

we habe yet to see it boot

stone wave
#

theres almost no power running there

subtle hawk
#

so

stone wave
#

so no danger to you

flint bobcat
#

Uh so those 2 pins to that red area right?

stone wave
#

yeah if your header layout is identical

#

theres a tiny diagram on the motherboard

flint bobcat
#

I'll plug it in then now

stone wave
#

just bridge the 2 that say PWR SW

flint bobcat
#

I'm a little scared

#

So I plugged the PSU already

stone wave
#

nah its less scary than starting a PSU without a motherboard

flint bobcat
#

So uh

#

Are you sure there will be no electrical shock

stone wave
#

yeah

subtle hawk
#

smh aria

stone wave
#

its very low voltage

flint bobcat
subtle hawk
#

ur not gonna fuking die

flint bobcat
#

GWshizuPlsRember I'm more scared about the mobo blowing up than my life

subtle hawk
#

in a pc the biggest power rail is 24V

stone wave
#

all you're doing is the same thing the power button does

flint bobcat
#

Do I have to do it at the same time

#

Those 2 pins

subtle hawk
#

remember to not hold it

stone wave
#

so if your shit dies from that it would have died if you used the proper power button

#

just tap it and the computer will turn on if you plugged everything in and the PSU is turned on

subtle hawk
#

inb4 not enough juice

flint bobcat
#

Ok now where do I find 2 metal objects

subtle hawk
flint bobcat
stone wave
#

oh right he's running 4 pin on an 8 pin

subtle hawk
#

2

stone wave
#

screw driver

subtle hawk
#

just get a flathead screwdriver or smth metal and flat

#

and touch both at once

stone wave
#

the pins are 1mm apart or something

flint bobcat
#

Oh ok

stone wave
#

your keys will work

#

or a paperclip

subtle hawk
#

licc it

stone wave
#

RIppi 🇦 🇷 🇮 🇦 🔌 ⛈

flint bobcat
#

I'll use a paperclop

subtle hawk
#

take screenshot @tidal grove

#

can't see it due to regional pricing

stone wave
#

TFW no microcenter near you feelsbad

tidal grove
subtle hawk
#

mfw microcenter isn't a thing here

#

dam son

stone wave
#

ehhh

subtle hawk
#

that a spicy ass deal

stone wave
#

is that mobo worth 100

subtle hawk
#

X570 and a 3600

stone wave
#

idk the pricing

#

3600 is $200

tidal grove
#

250

stone wave
#

so if that motherboard is a steal at $100

#

yeah i'd say thats worth

subtle hawk
#

the mobo is 300$ new @stone wave

#

X570 after all

flint bobcat
#

Man wtf

subtle hawk
#

ain't some cheapo B board

flint bobcat
#

It's hard to do it

stone wave
#

did it work?

tidal grove
#

holy shit all rtx 2060 is sold out

flint bobcat
#

No I didn't align it yet

#

Shit is hard

stone wave
#

all you need to do is touch the 2 pins

subtle hawk
#

well ye @tidal grove

stone wave
#

don't use force

#

cause youll bend that shit

subtle hawk
#

rtx 2060 super is coming

tidal grove
#

no i meant rtx 2060 super*

#

damn everyone's thirsty

subtle hawk
#

dam

stone wave
#

I can only presume Aria is ded.

#

🇫

flint bobcat
#

ITS ON

stone wave
#

and yes that thing is fugly

flint bobcat
#

DW, lll get a new case in like a week

stone wave
#

ok

#

i also sent you some fans btw

flint bobcat
#

My monitor isn't turning on

stone wave
#

lol did you plug it in

flint bobcat
#

Ye

#

What do I do

stone wave
#

unplug the monitor cable from the PC and plug it back in

#

if that doesnt work turn the pc off and turn it back on

#

probably just hit the button on the PSU, not recommended but it will work

flint bobcat
#

Uh oh GWshizuPlsRember

#

So how to turn it off

#

Unplug or press button

stone wave
#

if it worked normally just shut down via Windows

#

but in your case you can bridge the power switch until it turns off

#

(this is like holding the power button)

#

or just hit the rocker switch behind the PSU

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

I don't recommend doing the latter often

flint bobcat
#

I'll just use psi

#

Oh ok

#

I'll just do it once

stone wave
#

since it's like unplugging the PC

#

while its on

flint bobcat
#

I'll just do it once

stone wave
#

check if the monitor is working

#

if you have a laptop or something

flint bobcat
#

Of course it works

#

I already use it

tidal grove
#

btw

#

how can a keyboard be "dust-resistant"

stone wave
#

double check the cable for the monitor Aria

#

IDK what sort of cable it is, DVI, VGA, DP, HDMI etc

flint bobcat
#

Oh shit it turned on

stone wave
#

when you hit the PSU rocker switch?

#

yeah some mobos do that by default

flint bobcat
#

No I unplugged and kept it in

stone wave
#

oh lol

#

yeah you see this is why when you call tech support they tell you to unplug whatever cable and plug it back in

#

cause shit either don't get plugged in right or contacts got dust in them

#

but catClap

#

Aria made a computer

flint bobcat
#

Well I got help from pros

stone wave
#

you mean idiot #4245 and Yamato

flint bobcat
#

Ok now to install drivers

stone wave
#

Windows might just pull most of them once it gets online

flint bobcat
#

Do I just go on amd web

stone wave
#

just get the drivers for the 2400g APU

#

idk what they're called cause i never used an APU before

#

it might be under 2400g, Vega 11 or they might just have a universal installer

flint bobcat
#

Yeah went to amd for ryzen 5 and drivers are there

#

420MB tho

stone wave
#

remember to uninstall them when you get a graphics card

flint bobcat
#

Right

stone wave
#

you internet works, if sound works that should be it since you're DL the APU drivers

#

the only thing is any odd hardware you have that needs its own drivers/software

flint bobcat
#

Why does my ram show 5.9 GB total out of 8

stone wave
#

did you install Windows 32 bit?

flint bobcat
#

No

#

64

stone wave
#

oh right

#

I think the AMD APU uses RAM as VRAM

flint bobcat
#

It shows 8GB installed (5.95 usable)

stone wave
#

yeah

#

the AMD APU (the integrated graphics) is using that RAM

flint bobcat
#

Wow, I guess I need another 8 then GWshizuPlsRember

stone wave
#

you should get another stick ASAP if you want to do any 3d gaming

flint bobcat
#

Right

stone wave
#

to change the allocation i think you go into BIOS to do it

flint bobcat
#

First is new case + PSU then more ram

stone wave
#

i sent you three 140mm fans

flint bobcat
#

GWshizuPlsRember wat

#

Why

stone wave
#

idk if you can make use of them

#

they were sitting around

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

and they were cheaper than me finding more packing material

flint bobcat
#

I could use them on my new case

stone wave
#

cause i didnt want to send the shit in an envelope

#

cause shit keeps getting lost, damaged or delivered to the wrong place

flint bobcat
#

Bruh idk why, but my inet speed is fukin slow

stone wave
#

for a while

#

or since you turned on your new build?

flint bobcat
#

Since new build

#

I use a USB wifi

stone wave
#

Probably Windows downloading shit

flint bobcat
#

Oh

stone wave
#

how cheap do you want to get with that case?

flint bobcat
#

I found one already

stone wave
#

ok

flint bobcat
#

It's $40

stone wave
#

shipped?

flint bobcat
#

Total

stone wave
#

nice

#

just be careful when moving the parts over if it's a really cheap case

#

cause sharp edges

#

they don't debur the metal on the cheaper cases usually

flint bobcat
#

It's a coolmaster case

stone wave
#

for the time being you can leave the computer on

#

probably eats a dollar a day in electricity

flint bobcat
#

Yeah I usually leave the PC in sleep mode over night

#

Or should I not do that

stone wave
#

oh right turn it on with the keyboard

#

if its hibernating or whatever

flint bobcat
#

Ye I put it to sleep

stone wave
#

yeah that works

#

cause its a pain to jump the mobo pins each time

flint bobcat
#

Yeah EntyLUL

#

I got the hang of it tho with a paperclip

stone wave
#

oh right kagerou retro is lvl 85

subtle hawk
#

my kagerou is already lv98 HappyHamm

flint bobcat
#

i OC'd my memory to 2933Mhz

#

works good

tame topaz
#

@flint bobcat how are things turning out?

flint bobcat
#

pretty good

#

works faster than before

tame topaz
#

Nice

#

Any benchmarks yet?

flint bobcat
#

haven't tried out yet

tame topaz
#

Managed to mount the thing in the case?

flint bobcat
#

yeah i got everything done

tame topaz
#

Cool

flint bobcat
#

oh wow, debugging code is much faster now GWshizuPlsRember

#

oh right, i can install a vm now

flint bobcat
#

@stone wave help

#

My PC won't turn on

#

I was trying to OC it

stone wave
#

reset CMOS

flint bobcat
#

How do I do that

stone wave
#

I mean BIOS

#

let me check if you have a button for it

#

i think yours is supposed to use a jumper but your motherboard is brown so i cant see shit

#

unplug the PSU

#

and remove the battery

#

and wait a few minutes

flint bobcat
#

Battery?

stone wave
#

round thing

#

like a quarter

flint bobcat
#

How do I take off

stone wave
#

depress the tab?

#

im dling the manual for your mobo

#

err

#

in the manual theres a section called JBAT1: Clear CMOS

#

you can follow that

#

or remove the battery and wait a few minutes

tame topaz
#

but do they even include a jumper cap

stone wave
#

they should...

tame topaz
#

Not sure about my mobo

stone wave
#

it might come in the accessory bag

flint bobcat
#

Don't have jumpera

#

S

#

I'll just unplug battery

#

Soi just wait like 5 min

subtle hawk
#

so it turned on huh

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

Ye I took it off

stone wave
#

left of the battery

#

it says JBAT1

#

is there a small as black thing sticking out?

subtle hawk
#

aria u big dum

flint bobcat
#

I see JBAT1

subtle hawk
#

why would you OC when you have half the CPU power

flint bobcat
#

BuckySmug cause I'm dumb

stone wave
#

/blacklist Aria

unkempt slateBOT
#

You do not have permission to use this command

flint bobcat
#

Ok I reconnected battery

tame topaz
#

a little bit too early?

flint bobcat
#

Should I wait longer?

stone wave
#

but probably black in your case

#

that's for size reference so you know how tiny it is

flint bobcat
#

I have the JMP pins I can see em

#

JO

#

JP

#

What cable do I ever use for that

stone wave
#

you don't

#

im talking about the tiny white plastic square

flint bobcat
#

Wat

stone wave
#

you can remove it

#

give me a sec

flint bobcat
#

Uh

#

Here

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

Wat

stone wave
#

the green thing in the middle is what im telling you to find

flint bobcat
#

Ye I see it

stone wave
#

it can be different colors but thats what one looks like

flint bobcat
#

Yeah but where is it

#

That's what I'm asking

stone wave
#

thats what i was trying to find out

#

they might not have included it or it might be in the BIOS reset jumper pins

#

or maybe a tiny bag

flint bobcat
#

Only bag I got was forsata connectors

stone wave
#

anyways next time you need to reset the BIOS

#

you can remove the battery and etc

#

or jump JABT 1 with a screwdriver or paperclip

#

like when you turn on your computer

#

you need to connect the 2 pins in JBAT 1 for 5-10 seconds to clear your BIOS

#

and all that does is reset everything in the BIOS to factory default

#

The battery is there to keep those settings saved, removing it for a few minutes is effectively the same thing.

#

Like when the battery in a GB/GBC/GBA game dies the save data goes with it,

flint bobcat
#

Load default values?
