Reading a manual is one thing, but it's so nice having a calm, simple explanation of what all the plugs are and what they might look like. I was following along with my new board, and this removed a lot of anxiety. Thank you so much!
@@TechRoundUp just built my pc. It turns on for 7 secounds and turns back off. Nothing comes up on the screen while it is doing this. Any ideas before I have a breakdown? Lol
I built my first PC with the help of a friend in 2016--planning out an upgrade (finally) towards the end of this year but I'll be doing everything on my own, so just re-familiarizing myself with some of the finer building details...definitely the most nervous about motherboard stuff, but just watching this video has already helped me immensely. Thank you friend
This video maybe 2 years old, but this helped me a lot. I've been contemplating updating my power supply (so that it can support a better graphics card in future) and my cpu cooler, but I was intimidated as hell when I opened my case to give everything a thorough cleaning the other day with all the cables I saw. I'd have no idea what to disconnect to do the replacements. But this makes it much less stressful. Seems like I'd only have a few things to disconnect to do those upgrades.
All those channels out there will millions of subs and none of them have videos this helpfull.Most of them are for people who already know everything.Thanks a lot man.
i cant thank you enough, i was replacing my case, and after i unplugged everything off my mother board i couldn't figure out what goes where , i watched your video and thanks to you my system is running perfect
Very helpful for newbies such as I who are largely ignorant to this whole process. Is just all fancy lego, isn't it? Was daunting at first but it's definitely a fun process once you finally get to sit down with everything and plug stuff in. You're a good teacher, man. Thank you!
Indeed. I have a dumb question though: the fan HUB in my DarkBase 900 (version 2) has a PWM connector to the mobo. As I understand it, PWM will regulate the speed of the included PWM fans (according to temperature) - SO which motherboard fan header do I use?
I'm a complete dipshit when it comes to these things but I sorta understand. My understanding is that motherboards have a bunch of fan plug-in-spots but one is special as it comes with more abilities/settings than the rest and it's ment for water-cooling, I believe. Can plug whatever random fan in there that ya want since the plug thingy is universal. Mine largly looks the same as the rest just with the unique trait being text written on the motherboard identifying it as "special" for lack of better word. Don't take my word for hard fact since I totally 100% bullshit and lucked my way through the entire process of building my first PC. Still got plenty to learn so I may be of little to no use in the way of helping.
I actually didn’t really need this video I just wanted to confirm my suspicions… with that being said I stood around for the whole video because you did a great job with the explanations. Bravo 👏🏽
Thanks for making the video. I've just received my chip and board today & this is exactly what I needed to ease the nerves on my first build. Thank you. 👍
@@RageGate Hi rage and thank you for asking. I actually finished it last week. The full build was completed a few months back apart from the GPU which you can see on my community page. I managed to pick a 3070ti up for £250!!! last week. Well 350 but sold old card for 100quid so happy days..
I'm going to save this video. I built my first pc last night and it took me forever just hook the cable fans up and get them running. Could of saved a lot of time watching this video
Finally decided to build my own PC, all the connections and headers are a bit confusing but your breakdown made it super easy to understand. Thank you!
I recently bought my very first pc. It’s a prebuilt pc that is intended to be a work station but has the perfect hardware for gaming, so it’s got a very ugly case. This video helped me overcome the anxiety of actually touching the internals and finally swapping the case. Thank you!!!
Building and upgrading a pc is so easy. Just some simple knowledge, watch a video or two and you're good to go. I've built my first pc and upgraded over the years watching videos like this.
My god damn hero...Seriously...You answered my questions about fans and where they go and how it works including HUB's! So simple and to the point! The most literal and perfect answer to all my doubts and questions! Dont get me wrong, i am by no means "Ready" to tackle the joy of building my first ever tower, But you have BOOSTED my confidence by a good eighty percent now! I am pretty confident with everything else thanks to my old build but i did not personally build that. This time however...i am on my own. And comparing my Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX ATX AM5 Motherboard layout to your motherboard, You pointing things out and perfect explanation for first time builders like myself, I could not be any happier! Your the guy i desperately needed but did not deserve lol. You earned a subscriber. This video removed A LOT of my anxiety!
Finally, someone shows where to put the case fans, ports and buttons. Coming from prebuilts with funky mobo's, this is useful to know how to connect to standard mobo
3:57 - 4:31 the most helpful information I got from this video cos that what my main problem is, connecting these multiple headers are quite scary and daunting as a beginner PC builder. Thank you sir!
Very informative! Going with a Z790 - 13700k - 32gb DDR5 6800 - 4080 for my first time building a PC 🤣 I’ve used a laptop for a couple years and decided I wanted to build something nice that’ll last
I actually went with the 4070 just re-read my comment. Performs great I think the 4080 is overkill, 4070 outperforms 3090 ti in 1440 most cases. Recommend it!
Taking apart my pc and revisiting this video! I'm sure this wasn't the most fun video to make but it really helps my anxiety and is so much easier to follow than the manual❤❤❤
Thanks man this really helps I nearly have all my part's for my PC build so understanding how all the cables function and where they install is awesome to know.
Thank you so very much, you are like a breath of fresh air. The best video by far I found on these connections, was getting a bit confused with fan headers vs fan hubs that come with a pack of three fans I purchased. I also have a small board attached inside the case, something to do with fans also. Haven't worked out if I need to use that or not but I will. Thanks again, well done.
Ok i didn't know where the connections go but from the look of comments it seems they help newbies. Im a first time builder too ill update when i get home and try it out
thanks I was able to get my pc on and install windows only thing is I have a 3 pin connector for my chassis fan I tried tying them into the cpu water cool pins but still the chassis doesnt spin and the rgb lights im rather fuqd with that one lol
Thanks for the information about fans. It's actually challenging for someone doing this for the first time. I'll be daisy chaining the thermal right fans and plugging them straight into the mobo to save some money.
I am very happy that all of these different videos regarding the same thing exist, I’ve learnt so much now and this video helped me get over my worries of wiring my first pc next week :)!!
building my first pc build when it all gets here, super nervous but i feel like it wont be that bad either. super excited to finally get that next level experience! (hopefully)
So I'm close to starting a new build and have been looking at several videos. I've built 3 rigs already but it's always good to have videos like yours around. I was wondering about all those fan wires and just found out that you can also use Fan splitter cables. Connecting 3 fans to one header.
I'm about to pull out a failing m22 kraken and replace it with an air cooler. I have 0 experience in pc building so this video helped calm me down some. thanks!
Thanks for creating the video, it was a great tutorial! Just in case it will benefit anyone else, Im going to mention a couple of personal issues that brought me here in the first place. I have the Asus Z590-E motherboard. this video is using the Z390-E and its similar. I am using the Seasonic TX 1000W 80 Titanium PSU with my motherboard. For CPU and mobo power, the 24 Pin thick braided cable obviously only plugs in the power supply and mobo in 1 place only. Cant mess that up! But for the top left CPU power plugs, the Asus manual sucks as usual. There is a 4 pin receptacle next to an 8 pin receptacle. The Seasonic psu includes two cables, but labeled PSU for the PSU plug, but then each cable has (2) 4 Pin plugs. So, my logical assumption and 5 fingered hand math, tells me to use 1 cable (2 - 4 Pin plugs) for the mobo 8 pin receptacle. Then I assume, playing guessing games with $600 worth of equipment, is to use 1 of the 4 pin connectors on the 2nd PSU/CPU power cables to plug into the 4 pin receptacle on the mobo and leave 1 (hanging). But im here doing research before gambling and I do something wrong. This is just 1 of my issues connecting my mobo cables. There are a few others! Im so miserably happy to report!!!!
I love this video. This is really helpful. I hate the manuals that explains only 10% They don't even have a diagram of the pins locations. Still need to go online and have a 3rd party website supply the schematics.

@@uhm175this. A lot of these manuals fucking suck
I'm legit trying to use the manual but its not enough I need videos like these to help me know where goes where physically.
I’m building my pc and I was so stressed out figuring out where certain cables go on the mobo and this truly helped me! Thank you!
Super glad to hear!
