wicked frigate
#

X570

little osprey
#

uh i found x570 tuf gaming pro

wicked frigate
#

I want rgb

stoic island
#

B550 also has PCIe 4.0 for GPU and M.2_1 as a side note

#

And I suggest a B550 Aorus elite ax to look at.

little osprey
#

then go with an rog \

wicked frigate
#

Yah but I want a X570

#

What about Meg ace

stoic island
#

@little osprey don't think x570 pro has bios flashback, can you check?

wicked frigate
#

Or rig strix

stoic island
#

Ah it's plus that doesn't have it, pro does.

little osprey
stoic island
#

Was thinking about mobo sheet

wicked frigate
#

So which one

little osprey
#

um rog x570-e seems like it has what you want

wicked frigate
#

What about Meg ace

little osprey
#

uh idk

#

lemme check

wicked frigate
#

Ok

little osprey
#

yes it does

wicked frigate
#

Ok is that better then the rog

little osprey
wicked frigate
#

So do I just insert the usb

little osprey
#

ive never had to do flash bios so idk

wicked frigate
#

Ok

earnest olive
#

@wicked frigate if you are flashing msi bios through usb

#

make sure to name the bios file "MSI.ROM"

#

otherwise it might not be recognized

#

i'm taking some time off to chill today so feel free to ping me with questions

little osprey
earnest olive
#

this is my only day off for 2 weeks

#

haha

little osprey
#

ah ok lmao

stoic solstice
little osprey
#

Good list for the most part, does the motherboard need wifi tho? And also I would add a 1tb Seagate barracuda

stoic solstice
little osprey
#

That case only has 2 fans so you may want to buy and extra fan

stoic solstice
#

i don't have ethernet im my room

#

yeah

#

i have case fans lying around

#

arctic p12

little osprey
#

Ok so then motherboard is good

stoic solstice
#

ok

#

i don't have ethernet

little osprey
#

I have used the gtx 1660 super from asus and it's a great card

stoic solstice
#

yep

#

i guess

#

lol

little osprey
#

If this us the list you want I would wait till February when price drop

stoic solstice
#

ok

#

i actually already have the pc just parts were getting old

#

just was thinking either swap part for some stuff or change pc altogether

#

so i guess everything's fine

languid cedar
#

Anyone have any concerns about the gpu?

little osprey
#

Well it's a 3070 so good luck

little leaf
#

the mobo is over priced rn

#

and the gpu inst in stock

#

@little osprey I got 3

little osprey
#

To get my 3060 ti I waited 24hrs outside of microcenter

little leaf
#

Oof

languid cedar
#

Whats a good rtx gpu?

little osprey
#

2060

little leaf
#

it took me 5 minutes

#

@languid cedar wait for a 3070

languid cedar
#

Like in the 500 dollar range

little leaf
#

its not too hard

little osprey
#

Did you bot the checkout

little leaf
#

no

little osprey
#

I got mine on launch tho

little leaf
#

You could've gotten on pretty easily online

little osprey
#

Yeah but then shipping

little leaf
#

also Idk why you got a 10700k

languid cedar
#

Wait the pny just said in stock

little leaf
#

its not

#

office depot doesn't do it

languid cedar
#

Those lyers

little osprey
#

I'm a intel guy

languid cedar
#

Im a ryzen guy

little leaf
#

lol

little osprey
#

Also Intel better for just gaming

little leaf
#

that is false

languid cedar
#

Aw hell no

little leaf
#

also

little osprey
#

What

little leaf
#

Your the person who just looks at branding and not the actual product

little osprey
#

I did my research

little leaf
#

lmao

languid cedar
#

Then you would of picked ryzen

hazy rune
#

Ryzen is overpriced right now anyway

little leaf
#

not really

languid cedar
#

Not really

little osprey
#

Everything is

little leaf
#

a 5600x can match a 10900k in some cases

hazy rune
#

Yes, really

little leaf
#

and its 300 dollars

languid cedar
#

Well i kind of agree with you

hazy rune
#

You can’t buy. 5600x

little leaf
#

I already have

hazy rune
#

That’s great

little osprey
#

I got mine for 30% off on black Friday

#

The 10700k

little leaf
#

UT how much was the entire build?

little osprey
#

1500

#

Or so

#

A little more

languid cedar
#

The reason i want a new pc is i have a all in one and a gtx 950m

little leaf
languid cedar
#

And a i5

little osprey
#

What the pcpartpicker for

hazy rune
#

And if you can’t find 5600x you really can’t find 3080

#

That’s hilarious

little leaf
#

I got a 5600x

#

and 3 3070s

hazy rune
#

Good for you

little leaf
#

its not that hard

hazy rune
#

You don’t have a 3080

little leaf
#

I'm using the 3070s as an example

hazy rune
#

3070s are easier to find

#

I have one too

little leaf
#

I got 3 in 3 days

#

I bet you can find a singular 3070

#

3080

languid cedar
#

What. Is the best 20 series?

little leaf
#

3080ti

#

2080ti

languid cedar
#

Like price wise

hazy rune
#

None

languid cedar
#

Price and preformance

#

Oh

little leaf
#

just wait for the 3070

languid cedar
#

I'll joy rum dMali um raw

hazy rune
#

5700xt is closest thing

earnest olive
#

what

languid cedar
#

5700xt is expensive

hazy rune
#

Agreed

earnest olive
#

the entire 20 series is terrible price/performance right now

languid cedar
#

Oh

little leaf
#

wait

earnest olive
little leaf
#

just get a 3070

#

lul

earnest olive
#

$700 for rtx 2060

#

might as well buy a scalped 3070 at that point

little leaf
#

honestly

earnest olive
little leaf
#

I actually almost bought a 3080

#

I was trying to get a 3070 for a friend

#

and I thought it was 3070 notif

languid cedar
#

Could you uh... mail me down one of those uh.. 370? Uh... please?

little leaf
#

lol

#

People think these things are too hard to get

languid cedar
#

Im just a poor boi

#

And i couuuuld wait

#

I gueeews

hazy rune
#

Bro if you have to use notifications to buy it

#

It IS hard to get

languid cedar
#

9 not really thats whe whole point of notifs

little leaf
#

@hazy rune not really me and all of my friends have a 30xx card

#

and I have 3

hazy rune
#

You’re missing the point

earnest olive
#

it's a lot harder when you want one of two specific models

little leaf
#

Honestly

#

but most people don't really care about the model that much

#

they just want a card

final meadow
languid cedar
#

I just want founders edition

little leaf
#

nothing else?

hazy rune
#

@final meadow Microcenter

little leaf
#

I'm talking online

languid cedar
#

Idk ive never tried anything else

hazy rune
#

And I said easier, not easy

little leaf
#

Well get any 3070 you can

languid cedar
#

Unless it scalp

earnest olive
#

i would strongly prefer a 3080 aorus master

#

second choice is 3080 vision

#

i managed to get to checkout with a 3080 vision then i got the "hey wanna buy masks" popup and lost my chance lol

little leaf
#

I was considering a 3080 but it would raise my build from 1.1k to 1.3

languid cedar
#

Im thinking i may just wait untill the hardware price gwnerally goes down

earnest olive
#

i was committed to buy a 3090 until the benchmarks came out

hazy rune
#

I would’ve bought a 3080

earnest olive
languid cedar
#

With the demand of 3070

earnest olive
#

pathetic

hazy rune
#

3070 is good enough

little leaf
#

not for everyone

earnest olive
#

honestly not even 3090 is hitting the performance level i want

#

so no, 3070 is not good enough for everyone

little leaf
#

3070s can't reach 144hz at max

#

on 1440p

earnest olive
#

i have a 1440p165 monitor

hazy rune
#

Depends on the game

earnest olive
#

3090 doesn't hit 1440p165 in everything

hazy rune
#

Right

earnest olive
#

i don't care about ray tracing i just want frames

little leaf
#

I don't think it can reach it in any game

#

thats actually mildly intensive

#

not like fortnite

#

or minecraftr

earnest olive
#

minecraft is intensive now xd

little leaf
#

lol rtx mc is

hazy rune
#

It’s intensive too depending on your draw distance

earnest olive
#

3090 only gets 110 fps in cyberpunk with DLSS on ultra performance mode, rtx OFF, 1440p

#

😭

hazy rune
#

Yeah cyberpunk performance is bull

languid cedar
#

Should i just get the bare minium for vr gaming

hazy rune
#

You have to run dlss

earnest olive
#

i'm planning on buying the 3080 even though i set aside enough money for the 3090

#

the slightly higher perf is nowhere near worth the more than double cost

lyric tusk
#

Hi

languid cedar
#

Heyo

zealous cairn
#

Hey so I got a i5-9600k clocked at 4.3Mhz but I keep seeing that cyberpunk is hitting the 100% CPU usage at 1440p144hz any suggestions on how to avoid the 100% usage?

primal heron
#

I built myself home server for around €255 with these specs:

Xeon E5 2620 v3 
128gb DDR4 ECC REG
Supermicro X10SRL-F

What do you guys think?

zealous cairn
primal heron
#

Its a CPU bottleneck. Try increasing the settings so its GPU bottlenecked.

#

Or the best option upgrade your cpu if possible

zealous cairn
zealous cairn

primal heron
agile folio
#

higher res = cpu?

#

or other way around

primal heron
#

Higher res is more gpu demanding

agile folio
#

ah ty

primal heron
#

If you can find any 5th gen cpus tho

agile folio
#

whenever i alt tab my game, and come back to it, everything loads a lot slower (getting in games) any reason why

#

and yes i have a ssd

agile folio
#

certain games

#

like before i alt tab my game loads fine

#

but when i alt tab back in it takes like and extra 30seconds to load

#

i know corsair and nzxt make decent ones

#

and it doesn’t seem like price is that important

primal heron
#

ARCTIC LIQUID FREEZER II 360 is an option too

little osprey
#

they sold out everywhere 😢

#

Nice

steep nimbus
#

The pairing of R5 3600XT + RX5600XT good?

merry crypt
#

can someone make me a 800-1000$ pc list im bad at pcs

merry crypt
#

@languid nimbus will a 1660 work with thios

sinful hornet
#

why would you want a 1660

languid nimbus
#

1660 gpu? It’ll work, but 3070 is much, much better

merry crypt
#

no graphics card

sinful hornet
#

wat

merry crypt
#

yeah ik im on a bugit

#

sry

sinful hornet
#

800-1000 isnt a budget

merry crypt
#

wdym

balmy patio
#

if you want it to be a bit cheaper then get a 3060t

sinful hornet
#

i am confusion

languid nimbus
#

I’d personally save up a bit more and go for the 3070 if you can find one. However the 1660 will work, just not nearly as well. You could consider getting the 3060ti too, it’s $100 cheaper, but also hard to find

merry crypt
#

so 3060 ti is better?

sinful hornet
#

than what?

merry crypt
#

than 1660

sinful hornet
#

much

languid nimbus
#

3060ti -> 3070 -> 3080 -> 3090

merry crypt
#

im sry im very new to this

#

oh ok

#

thx

sinful hornet
#

why do you want a 1660 so bad?

merry crypt
#

can u add that to list

#

the 3060ti

languid nimbus
#

3060ti ~= 2080s, 3070 ~= 2080ti

merry crypt
#

sry to act like im stupid lol

languid nimbus
#

Nah dude you’re good

merry crypt
#

im just ass at this type of thing

balmy patio
#

we've all been there at sum point

frozen junco
#

The 3060ti has beat the 2080 in some things too

languid nimbus
#

This is the 3060ti

#

Problem is stock

#

3000 series hard to find

frozen junco
#

3060ti is more like a better 2080 super

#

I should have 3 if my stuff auto logged in and I lived on the east coast

#

2 3070 and 1 3080

balmy patio
mossy plaza
#

Hey uh I'm trying to get a new gpu, and I'm sorta new to building and pcs, but does PCI-Express work with PCI-Express 4.0?

balmy patio
#

yes

#

and it doesn't really matter tbh

mossy plaza
#

I might buy this gpu today if it fully works with my pc, but I just needed to know if it's compatible first

#

oh dang seriously?

#

thank you

balmy patio
#

yeah you can use a pcie3.0 on a 4.0 slot and vice versa

mossy plaza
#

I've been trying to figure it out online for a while now and it only says that its backwards compatible

#

yea online it just says that its backwards like that but i didnt know if it would go all the way back to my PCIe

#

pretty much I bought a prebuilt pc and wasted my own money

#

I just wanted to make sure if it'd work

#

also do you think this gpu is good?

#

I was thinking of getting it since the Nvidia RTX 2060 was always above my price limit and out of stock

balmy patio
#

if you're planning on just gaming, yeah it's pretty good, it even outperforms the 2060 in some titles

#

if you're planning on streaming and want the features the 2060 has to offer like nvenc, rtx voice, etc, get the 2060

mossy plaza
#

yea I'm not gonna stream I'm gonna save up for vr and probably get cyberpunk and some other games I couldnt run with my very outdated GTX 650

#

well im gonna try and the gpu now

#

thanks for the help

#

have a good night or day

balmy patio
#

you too man

alpine sierra
#

im planning on upgrading to a 10700k and a 3080 if i can ever get my hands on one. I currently have a cx650m, should I upgrade my PSU as well if I want to oc

arctic jungle
#

unless u alr have a lga1200 mobo

#

I tried to get the newegg drop just now but the web site just does not load, im on a trashtop what do I do?

balmy patio
#

yeah that's what happens when bots overload the website server

#

or it's just not loading

shadow wyvern
#

really beginner question: do you need a sata cable to install an hdd?

balmy patio
#

yes

#

one is a power cable and one is the cable that connects to the mobo

shadow wyvern
#

oh alright, thanks

zenith crag
#

Anyone got a good recommendation for a home pc for an elderly person? Like a pc solely for searching things up on google and watching YouTube?

#

No gaming or anything like that

whole forum
#

Okay I have a old VGA monitor if I buy a VGA to display port cable will it work with my PC

simple lion
#

ok but like

visual horizon
languid nimbus
#

Yup

#

could do 3600 for a bit more $

#

I didn’t make list, but it’s still a solid build

little osprey
#

whats wrong with that?

languid nimbus
#

Ram prices have dropped a lot recently

little osprey
#

you can also just oc your ram to 3600 but it increases latency

whole forum
#

I'm doing my 1st build tmrw

#

I'm very excited

little osprey
#

nice

languid nimbus
#

Nice, best of luck

little osprey
hollow grail
#

modern i3 ofc

#

like 256gb nvme, i3 10100, and 8gb ram

little osprey
#

literally any prebuilt

#

dell optiplex

hollow grail
#

yeah id go with any non hp prebuilt tbh

languid nimbus
#

4570 tho

hollow grail
#

never buy amazon refurb lol

#

thats crazy

little osprey
#

this one is probably the cheapest

#

with 8gb ram to be exact

hollow grail
#

why are u saying optiplex

#

you know optiplex isnt their like

#

desktop name right

#

i know u hear ppl saying "get a used optiplex" and its cause theyre dells business machines

#

companies buy them, when they upgrade theyre given to recyclers and sold on ebay/amazon/newegg

#

plus thats a 9100

languid nimbus
little osprey
#

whats wrong with buying an optiplex?

hollow grail
#

here u go

#

nothing used

#

but its a business machine

#

oh oops i didnt see the ram on that one

hollow grail
#

upgrade it to the ssd in the configurator

#

and atom optiplexes are great but the reason why theyre so cheap used is because enterprise customers buy hundreds of them

#

when they upgrade they take them to recyclers who destroy the company data and then resell the computers

#

it doesnt make much sense to buy them new unless you need the specific enterprise bios features

#

or unless u want dell's business support

little osprey
#

Someone give me a 3 3100 and 1650 super pls, ping me if u can

hollow grail
#

lmao

obsidian wigeon
#

w-

Then it sounded wrong, my bad then lol

hollow grail

lmao

little osprey
#

oh

#

i already did

hollow grail
#

god tier part list

#

what do u think

little osprey
#

yup

#

69/10

hollow grail
#

just tape them together

little osprey
#

perfect

#

yup

#

uh budget?

hollow grail
#

yeah ill make u one

#

whats budget

#

and why do u want 3100 and 1650s

little osprey
#

because

#

budget is like

#

700 max

merry crypt
#

can i use a 3060 ti insted of a 3070

hazy rune
#

Umm... yes?

gleaming quartz
#

lol

hollow grail
gleaming quartz
#

i think he means like a pcpartpicker list with a 3060 ti instead of a 3070 y'know

hazy rune
#

No idea

gleaming quartz
#

even though they are basically all sold out

hollow grail
#

switched cooler

gleaming quartz
#

why not go with an rx 580?

little osprey
#

yea...

hollow grail
#

no point getting one tbh

#

but fine if you have your heart set on it for whatever reason

#

here good luck finding one tho

little osprey
#

lol

#

3100s go for like $100 msrp right?

hollow grail
#

"here i dont want this equivalent part let me spend a bunch of time finding this other one that isnt in stock cause reddit says intel bad amd good"

#

yes but also 3100 never goes for msrp

little osprey
#

nothing going for msrp right now

hollow grail
#

10100 goes for msrp all day long

woven locust
#

"All individual products in below combo must be returned in their entirety" does this mean i cant return one of the item in the combo?

hollow grail
#

actually

#

it goes for 107 rn

#

and msrp is 122

#

so

#

10100 goes for below msrp

#

and performs around the same as the 3100

#

but intel bad amd good waaaaah

cunning brook
#

Hey guys question what is a good build/set up for a streaming/recording, gaming and editing pc? I would like to start planning out a set up/build to make better quality YouTube videos/streams and twitch as well. I'm not sure for a budget price but I was thinking maybe a $2000 but I sadly don't have it right now but it would be for the future when I save up enough.

hollow grail
#

dont ask till you have the money

cunning brook
#

Ok got it

hollow grail
#

whatever i tell you to get will be outdated when u have enough

icy quail
#

bruh can someone help me rq

hollow grail
#

whats up

cunning brook
#

Yeah true

#

Thanks

hollow grail
#

and focus on your budget and getting the $ needed to make that happen

icy quail
#

i set my ram to the XMP so its 3k megahertz, but it doesnt post up to windows

#

it just sits at a black screen

hollow grail
#

then im happy to talk to you abt builds

cunning brook
#

Ok will do thanks

hollow grail
#

:))

#

@icy quail clear cmos

#

is your ram 3000mhz?

#

or rated for that?

icy quail
#

yeah

#

whats cmos

hollow grail
#

clear cmos, try again then

#

and before u say "i amd" method is the same

ocean portal
#

Rx6800xt or 3070?

icy quail
merry crypt
#

does my 3070 have to be nvidia

icy quail
#

no lmao

#

a 3070 is a 3070

#

EVGA, MSI, etc

merry crypt
#

ok good

#

just making sure

hollow grail
#

id choose evga tbh

icy quail
#

just dont buy it from wish

#

LOL

merry crypt
#

thats just plain outs stupid

#

thats like buying the new iphone from the bums in the dark alley

little osprey

steep stratus
#

is this the best place for build questions?

little osprey
steep stratus
#

figured i'd ask before posting a novel

#

so here's the deal- i bought a GTX 970 STRIX a while ago to drop into my machine and it turned out my PSU didn't have the correct plugs, so the new gpu has been sitting in the box for over a year now... i'm looking for a super quiet power supply and to also replace my other existing fans, also upgrade my ram..

ultimate goal, super quiet machine, with new gpu, more ram, in order to run dual universe and able to stream other games as well

little osprey
#

so your psu doesnt have a 6 pin power connector?

steep stratus
#

i am attempting to figure out a power supply with the new egg calculator, but my current gpu, GTX 560 Ti is not listed

#

no, just 4's

little osprey
#

what brand 560ti?

next kestrel
#

honestly you can just choose to get an overkill psu

#

so that you wont upgrade for a while

little osprey
#

true

steep stratus
#

nvidia geforce gtx 560ti is what is in my machine right now

calm minnow
#

how much should i spend on a 2060

proven oriole
#

Should I go with the meshify c or the phantek p400a?

little osprey
little osprey
#

if you can wait you can get a 3060ti for better price

calm minnow
#

3060ti gonna be very hard to get though

steep stratus
#

how do i see which brand of ram i have without ripping my case open?

little osprey
steep stratus
#

can i get to my bios without a system restart?

proven oriole
#

Looking at the meshify

#

It actually has two fans

#

Hmmm

gleaming quartz
little osprey
#

^

gleaming quartz
#

there are some features in the BIOS that you can do with admin CMD, though

calm minnow
little osprey
#

But above 320$ a 2060 is kinda eh...

calm minnow
#

kk

candid notch
#

should I wait for a 3060ti

#

Or get a 2060s

have you maybe tried youtube?

there is a lot of build guides on there

flint adder
#

Yeah but they have different part

little osprey
#

it doesnt matter the installation is the same

rustic sandal

Parts don’t matter, it’s like putting legos together

#

i would go into vc and try to help but im not suppost to be on discord rn

little osprey

its gonna be hard to help him just through text. watching an amd build guide would be best

steel flare

someone should go into vc and have him turn cam on to walk them step by step

little osprey
#

I would do it but i can't speak in english

flint adder
#

Ok I will go to Vic

#

Can someone join Vic and help me

And it might peform better

meager canyon

Oh ok

little osprey
#

Though is your system already am4?

#

Like am4 socket?

steep stratus
#

what is am4?

little osprey

Am4 is a socket

#

Socket is where you put the cpu on top

#

And it connects with the motherboard

#

what mobo do you plan on buying? @steep stratus

But depends on the price you getting it for

steep stratus
#

is $180 normal?

little osprey
steep stratus
#

yeah

little osprey
#

Hell no.

#

You should look at ebay for a i7 or xeon

#

But i would upgrade it to a xeon e3 1230 v2 tho
Since they are cheap
Than save up for a new system

#

why not just save up for a new system?

steep stratus
#

first i need to get this gpu into my machine

little osprey
#

And they are like 30-50 bucks

#

Most of the time going for 40

steep stratus

Also no noise psu with 550w? jensen2

steep stratus

Who doesn't know what image it means?

I was wondering how I could add boot manager to a different ssd

neon condor
#

Wuuut

#

Use flash drive.

#

Ez

little leaf
#

Ik

#

But i have windows on both

#

However it didnt install the boot manager on my main ssd

neon condor
#

I've borked a few Windows copy's during my overclocking.

#

It's p easy to do it seems.

little leaf
#

Even the installer broke

neon condor
#

Don't make things complicated

#

Get a USB flash drive. Put Windows Media creation installer and run it on the flash drive.
Plug it in, click install. Done. Easy clap.

little leaf
#

I try to reinstall but I bork

neon condor

dragonegg kekw

eager escarp
#

it's a random one off (fan service?) from a fantasy anthro webcomic. It's not modern day, but this was a one off the author made.

#

Thus "Dragon Egg"

#

and the character is Laura, thus Laura Tech Tips (shirt)

little osprey
#

i thought your name was 5950x

#

i was gonna say how?

eager escarp
#

I intend to get a 5950x...

#

but yeah, not yet. I need a whole round of upgrades.

hollow grail
#

lmao

little osprey
#

hopefully by the time you get to upgrade you could get zen 3 cpus

hollow grail
#

i rarely see ppl with 5th gen intel

eager escarp

its a x99

Thank you!

eager escarp
#

I could afford to go higher, but I don't see the value in spending any more than that.

little osprey
#

anything above what you have is just luxury man

hollow grail
#

i forgot what cpu i had

eager escarp
#

and as you can see, im sitting on a 5930k and 1080ti, so I keep my hardware a long time.

little osprey
eager escarp
#

yeah

little osprey
#

Ah

#

yeah all these new things are great for a couple years

eager escarp
#

the ram is 3600 because of the 1x limitation on zen3

#

it actually makes more sense to keep 3600 than go 4000

hollow grail
#

oh there we go

#

it was a 6950x

#

had one of those for a little while

little osprey
#

yeah i mean amd likes 3600

eager escarp
#

I have always been high resolution > High refresh rate, so my 5930k isn't really hurting me... except I also play alot of world building games/4x/base building... so it kind of is...

high badge
#

It’s not fitting into my sata port, do I need adapter or something?

little osprey
#

lol

#

no that connects to the drive

eager escarp
#

that's not the... right one. . .

little osprey
#

your mobo should come with a smaller one

eager escarp
#

it's sata power, your doing sata data in the picture

little osprey
#

i thinks its mobo

high badge
#

So I plug into power supply?

eager escarp
#

that end plugs into power on CD/DVD/BlueRay/Hard Drive

#

pair it with that for data to the mobo

little osprey
#

^

high badge
#

I see

eager escarp
#

in rare cases you get conjoined cables.

#

but those are uncommon

high badge
#

Oh ya I remember my motherboard having some wires included

eager escarp
#

but yeah, the small one is data... the big one is power.

hollow grail
#

that cable you have is for your case rgb/lights/fan controller

eager escarp
#

the very big one is both XD

hollow grail
#

plug it into the sata header on your psu

high badge
#

Ohhh

eager escarp
#

alot of times power supplies will have a cable like this:

#

with a multi-pin usually 6pin on one end

#

and multiple sata power connectors

violet harness
#

Where's the 24pin

dapper jasper
#

hot damn

little osprey
eager escarp
#

see, use both.

little osprey
#

thats what it should look like on the drive

violet harness
#

Ohhh
