PC building tip: When building a water cooling loop if you bridge the correct pins on the main MB cable on the power supply you can make it active without being plugged into the MB.
My favorites tips: 1. Before installing the motherboard, connect the damn CPU power connector! ;) 2. When installing couple of hard drives and NVMe drive, make sure that you connect the drivers to Sata ports that not disabled due NVMe device.. 3. Stock cooler is almost garbage, don't bother even to install them
1. That awesome hole for that cable in a good case, but in itx/ cheap case that's a life changer! 2. if only usb 3.0 was as easy to take out as a Sata plug, that's more of a "fun" problem then a real problem. 3. Amen 4. Your tips are still better then the video's
@@Undyingclub08 the start button works the same way as a clear cmos button (it just bridges two pins) so if you plug the start button connector onto the clear cmos pins, it'll still work.
Make sure when you put the cpu in, and pull the lever down, that it is actually locked, and that it cant be pulled out. I thought that my cpu was fried, until I realized that i had to push the cpu down when pulling the lever. I'm sure the lever just broke after CPU was pulled out a couple of times, by carefully pulling heatsink off.
Be mindful of the "tip" for the ram sticker, while it might be true for ddr4 it definitely is not for ddr3 and below! I have two ddr3 boards (one lga775 and one am3+) in front of me atm and the slots are not in the same orientation, i.e. rotated 180°. Also especially be careful if you have those generational threshold boards which support two different generations of ddr (2 and 3 or 3 and 4). I have one on the wall as a decoration (ddr2/3) and two stickers face left and two face right. Don't be lazy; just check where the bloody notch is.
Tip 7.5, when you DO drop a screw on the carpet -get your head down on the floor and look across it like a horizon. The screw will stand out like dog balls.
when you are placing ram sticks, you should feel and maybe hear two clicks as it fits in all the way. I didn't realize this and have wasted time sending back and forth ram because I was afraid to push anymore after the first click. now I make sure I get it in all the way. Now things are much easier regarding ram installation. at least this is for my crosshair VI hero
Didn't know about the power connector one. I figured you needed an 8-pin if the graphics card needed an 8-pin. here is a relevant tip, the front panel connectors for the hard drive and power LEDs are not reversible. Here is an irrelevant tip, the red stripe on your IDE cable always face the power connector on your hard or floppy drive.
Disclaimer on the 8-pin to 6-pin thing. Some GPUs will get angry at you for doing this, and will refuse to boot unless the full 8-pin cable is plugged in.
I used the "count the gold contacts" on the PCIe slots in building my first compooter completely, but I also looked at the manual just in case before I closed the side panel just so I didn't have to go through troubleshooting if games weren't up to speed... hurr hur. But looking at the back of the motherboard makes to much sense than getting a flashlight and seeing how full the slot if filled. Sorry flashlight, I have no use for you anymore
Another tip for those laptop users with a multitude of M.2 ports: If the OEM slots an NVMe drive in a slot compatible with SATA, and there’s a slot that’s ONLY compatible with NVMe, move that NVMe drive to that slot so you can take full advantage of your laptop storage slots with cheaper SATA storage if you so choose. This actually happened when I got my Alienware 17R5 a couple years ago. I immediately opened up the laptop to check it out, and lo and behold the NVMe drive was slotted in a SATA/NVMe compatible slot and there was an NVMe only slot on the motherboard, so I switched it over immediately. Also, no it won’t confuse the laptop and not boot into Windows/Linux. The motherboard BIOS will detect where the OS is stored and boot into it just like normal.
Can you please do a video on processor and chipset lanes and how the graphics card, m.2 and other devices use them up? Its be kinda neat to see how many devices you can use for both team red and blue. I'm wondering how many m.2 drives you can use in addition to sli setup.
is there a problem if my graphics card is running at 8x ? Ps: i have it on the first slot, but im using a m.2 that is sharing bandwith it the first pci-e, so that why its running at 8x
I’d say you’re definitely losing some performance as even AMD’s 5500XT performs worse on PCIE 3.0 slots because the 5500XT is only 8x. That’s not an issue on 4.0 slots but for older boards with only 3.0, it bottlenecks low end cards like that. I’d suggest changing the m2 if you can.
Fun fact, you actually need the extra 2 pins. My GTX 1080 is 8+8 and went with nice 8+6 sleeved kit (as the extra power isn't needed). But GPU won't power on unless all 16 pins are occupied. So ended up having to buy another 8 pin cable. Now some brands might not care, but if you got an Aorus GPU, don't do it :)
When I build a computer I take all the remaining accessories and put them in the motherboard box along with the Windows license and a rebuild "kit" flash drive.
Wow! That ram thing is actually super useful. Wasting time here, have built by now probably north of 1000 systems and never noticed that sticker thing being universal. Used many many times sticker as indicator but only for specific model and motherboard, never noticed it was universal :O Always just looked where the notch is for the first stick and of you go
6:20 happened to me, Mortar Max motherboard, wd blue Sn550 2280 m.2, and a wd blue 3d Nand Sata m.2, i had to switch them over so that the much faster sn550 was in the gen2x4 slot with the much slower ssd in the gen3 and lost performance as a result really sucked, but it could of been worse
I built on a motherboard yesterday, msi a320m pro series. The sticker was away from the cooler. I was wondering why I had to push so hard until I realized it was backwards.
Thanks for the RAM tip but I always just look and see where the key is in the mother board connector and on the RAM and turn it to match. Not hard at all. I really needed the info on the M.2 though.
You should of also mentioned that if your only using 2 sticks of RAM on a 4 DIMM slot motherboard that the first stick should go into the second slot away from the CPU socket not the one right next to it like you would think. It shows a picture of this in my motherboard manual at least but it does not tell you, you only get the picture and it's not very easy to tell the first slot from the second one in the picture that's provided, but good thing @bitwitkyle has mentioned this tip on his channel before, so I knew about it when I put together my PC too bad it still won't stop crashing as soon as the CPU gets a load.
what about fan? what about if i want to buy and build a PC for myself but i want a lot of good airflow. So realistically id like 3 fans in the front three up top and one in the rear. Its hard to believe the motherboard has 7 fan header right? never built a pc and would like to but im bot confident i know all the little things id need or maybe forget to buy along with everything else so im hesitant in pulling the trigger on building my own PC
I'm not sure about the GPU power connectors - my MSI Vega 56 shipped without the 6 to 8 pin adapter and it wouldn't work with a 6 + 8 pin, needed dual 8 pins to power on
Tip #7: Don't put tools in your lap. You'll forget about them, and when you stand up they'll fall and smash into your build at terminal velocity. My, uh, friend did that with his monitor yesterday. Really sucks.
My RTX 2060 from gigabyte said before the bios that I needed the correct power cable for the card before it would boot. (6 pin cable to 8 pin gpu plug) Bought a new modular PSU and used the 8 pin pci/e cable and haven't had any problems.
Yea, that pin out on PSU bit me, forcing me to upgrade to X570 and M.2 because I bricked my 990FX mobo and boot SSD when "upgrading" the PSU to power a 1070ti. Luckily the GTX survived.
Ram sticker probably true for modern computers like my Asus C8H X570 motherboard. It could be just coincidence, but I had to look my older computers how the ram sticker faces in those. The Asus X58 P6T Deluxe does have six rams and sticker away from cpu. The even older one Asus P4P800-E Deluxe same thing, sticker away from cpu. In that P4 motherboard is also Asus CT-479 adapter which allowed to use Pentium M processor for it which were usually even faster than Pentium 4's. How convenient was that?!
I have a 8+4pin cpu power, i used the 4pin and 1/2 the 8 pin cause it lined up better Bonus tip: read the manual for the motherboard before you buy it (PCIe/M.2/Sata lane sharing related stuff)
Also don't plug in PCIE cable in CPU power on the mobo, or CPU power in GPU, i've seen 2 people do that. (it fries stuff) remember 6+2 cable is for GPU ONLY & 4+4 Cable is for CPU ONLY.
I made a 6 pin into an 8 pin by cutting the extra two pins off an old power supply, plugged the wires into the 6pin grounds and it works well. Edit: 2070s need 8 pin connectors, but if you don’t have one just use two wires and plug it into the black ground wires and plug those into the gpu. Before if i just use the 6pin it says “plug in all required power cables” after i did that it didn’t say that, and it can take some OC
Yeah...I had an MSI vega56 that would not boot with 6+8 pin. Once I put 2 more pins and shoved the wire into one ground pin of the 6pin, it worked. I used it like that for a week until I got a 6 to 8 pin adapter.
Shit I subed a new PSU but still use the old SATA cable in the beginning, couldn't light up the system, then I replace the new SATA cable and works fine....can anybody tell me if my act will partially destroy the PSU or not?
Gamers Nexus tested if there was a difference using 8x vs. 16x (gen 3.0) with a gtx 1080 in 2016, and the performance was within 1% at most. And Techpowerup tested the same with a 2080 TI in 2018, and that showed a difference around 2-3%. So unless you have something more powerful than the 1080, you wouldn't loose any performance.
If you drop a screw onto carpet, you just need to run your magnetic screwdriver over the carpet. And it's much harder to drop the screw anyway because you ALWAYS USE A MAGNETIC SCREWDRIVER. Right?
WHOA WHOA WHOA!? YOU SHOULD REALLY CLARIFY THAT THE PLUG AND SOCKET ARE KEYED TO FIT IN THE CORRECT ORIENTATION, AND TO NOT TRY JAMMING THE PLUG IN THE WRONG ORIENTATION! EVEN WITH KEYING, YOU CAN STILL FIT IT IN 180 DEGREES! WHICH WOULD SWAP GROUND AND 12V LINES, GUARANTEED TO SMOKE SOME COMPONENTS! ALSO, SOME 6/8 PIN PLUGS FOR GPUS HAVE SENSE PINS!
Oh yeah bud?! My RAM stickers face away from the CPU. I'm of course still using Corsair Vengeance Red DDR3, and an Intel i7 2700K with a Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 rev. 1.3... I'm in the works of building an Intel i9 9900K PC... I'll hopefully be getting my Motherboard, and CPU Wednesday or Thursday if they have them in stock by time I get out to my local Micro Center. Last time I was there they had them in stock.

Huh, just checked my ram sticks and the stickers are facing the other way. I use AMD X470 gaming pro motherboard. Ram is Corsair Vengeance.
I think the easiest method is just aligning the notches on the ram stick with the ones on the motherboard
@@wiredWhiz27 nah, just press harder and make a new notch.
