    Superb. Everything was clear regarding power supply installation and connections going to Motherboard power, CPU power, SATA drives.
    Thanks. I was a little confused about PCIe connectors.

    I just left my PC with geek squad because I was afraid of this!!?? Why!?!?
    This looks so easy! Very well explained and easy to understand.
    I could be enjoying my new GTX 4070 right now but bcz installation was free I figured sure why not have them do it? And the tech told me that the power supply requires the entire computer to be taken apart and takes a long long time whereas the GPU and memory are easy to install. This looks pretty easy too.
    I’m going to Best Buy tomorrow to pickup my stuff and do it myself. I don’t want to wait several more days.

    So what if you do all of this, everything turns on, all the fans are running. But for some reason when you plug your monitor, keyboard, and mouse none of them are detected and nothing is showing. This has been my dilemma for a while and no matter who I ask no one can figure out what’s wrong

    • @Torqcx
      @Torqcx  2 роки тому +3

      XMP mode essentially runs your RAM at its fastest possible speed without overclocking it. Turning it on should be completely safe. Funny you should mention though, ever since I changed the positions if my RAM module, my computer won't start up if I have XMP mode on! I'm trying to look into it.

It's been over 14 years since I built my last PC, (unfortunately for health reasons) I have a beautiful box from 2010, acrylic glass and LED hoses, but the connections (initials/names) are quite different from the current motherboard, I can't understand how make the last connections to the motherboard and 1 ASRock B550-HDV and I have no idea how to connect the wires. If you send photos.or.names.of the cables, would it be possible for someone to help me so I can finally get my PC working?!

  • @soohavfnaf

    So, if I have fans connecting to the CPU but don't have any hard drives, I should just connect fans through the drivers cable and let the rest all alone?

    What happens if your mother board requires 16 pins? I have one 8 pin cpu connector and one 8 pcie connector plugged into the graphics card. Do I not need anything in the other 8?

    • @Torqcx
      @Torqcx  6 місяців тому

      Are you saying your motherboard has a 16-pin CPU slot? If so, it depends on what CPU you have; generally speaking you should only need an 8-pin CPU power connector to power it up, but check your specs first, obviously.

    I moved my pc into my closet and made a little gaming room but there’s no outlets in there. So I plugged my power supply cord into a surge protector that’s also plugged into a surge protector thwt is plugged into the wall and it won’t turn on. My guess is it’s not getting enough power right?

      Without anymore info, it sounds like that CPU only requires an 8-pin connector. That being said, you could go ahead and just plug all of the pins in regardless, the system should only use what it needs to.

      If the computer is turning on but the display is not getting a signal, it usually doesn't necessarily mean the power supply is the culprit. Did your system work and boot up with a previous power supply? I'd check your graphics card and RAM.
