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!
The manual is a joke!
Lot of manuals don't really help, following them alone is not enough especially for a first time builders
@@uhm175this. A lot of these manuals fucking suck
1 year later, and this video is still helping new builders. Love to see it
2 years later, and this video is still helping new builders. Love to see it
2 years and 9 days later still helping new builders love to see it

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!
@@TechRoundUp I noticed that my mobo doesn’t have the usb c header 8:22 I have the msi mpg x570 gaming plus
Yeah not every one will
@@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
That can sometime be power supply related, I would just make sure all of those cables are properly connected
Not enough build videos go into this detail. Thank you!
Not enough? more like none lol.
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. 👍
how did your build go? :)
@@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..
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.
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.
For anyone else wondering, if you are looking for a 3 pin addiontal RGB header there is one under where the sata connectors are located.:)
thats NOT what im asking about william
@@RollDoughs rude
@@RollDoughsShut up he is trying to help people who are looking for the exact question
5:44
oh the kid in me still lives :)
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!
i spent 6 hours building for the first time and it is way to confusing for me lol
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.
@@flyingtuffy3502 ive been building for the past five days... a little bit at a time.
@@yacqub just built my first in 2 hrs
You saved my first ever PC building process. Thanks man.
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 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
There are videos that are an hour and a half long that barley explain what you have clearly articulated in 15 minutes. You are a god among men.
Absolutely amazing video. I'm on my second build in 3 years, but it's so nice to have this as a reference.
Well done.
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.
I spent 3 hours trying to find the cpu connector and this would have been SOOO useful!
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
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!!!
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 :)!!
How did it go?
Only my second time building, I love coming back to this video as a refresher, thanks a ton dude!
Having a go at my first build today and TH-cam recommended this. Let’s goooooooo
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
as somone looking into building their first pc, this vid was much appreciated. removed a lot of anxiety.
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.
WOW I cannot explain how helpful this is! I am subscribing just because of this. I LOVE YOU FOR THIS
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 👏🏽
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!
Glad the video helped!
This is a really well explained and in depth video coming from a first time builder with relative knowledge thanks very much 👍
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!
Excellent video just what I needed to know before starting my first build
Pc www
Thank you so much you don’t know how crazy I was looking for this, definitely subscribed and shared
This video needs way more views. Great video thanks for the much needed info man
Thanks
Thank you, straight to the facts and no time wasting
I was just about to build my pc, then I realised I didn’t know where to put the wires. So this was really helpful
This helped out a bunch! I'm a first time builder and this just helped me plug everything in.
Great overview for someone doing a new PC build. Thanks for the video!
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❤❤❤
This is probs one of the best breakdown videos I've found
A nicely done informative video on how to learn some of the basics of pc building.
Thanks for this! Just picked up my motherboard yesterday.
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)
howd it go
Building my first pc and this was super helpful! Thank you!
Thank you, first time building, and this was so helpful :)
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’m so annoyed. I bought a water cooler and can’t even hook it up correctly it’s annoying asf 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
Hahah did u get it
me rn

@@carlosrivers27 what I did was take out the radiator of the fans and then put the radiator in the front idk what case you have but for mine I have the nx200m and I can take off the from and put the radiator then get the fans and since they have long screws fit then through the bracket I had to make a hole in mine so the aio cooler the one that goes on top of the cpu fit but that was my fix and I kept re applying thermal paste trying to find out the best and it would over heat and I didn’t have enough thermal paste but I have sun now and it performs perfect now
n00000b 😂😂😂😂
Yo, this is really well done. thank you
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.
Awesome video and explanation, very clear. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video, really helped me out a lot!
Great vid! Your vids are incredibly helpful.
TNX for the nice vid!
Heyy dude! Love your video! I've looked up tons of PC building video but no one really talks about what pins go where so it's kinda hard for beginner to really understand them.
I just started my pc building journey so this is pretty much a god send for a newbie like me lol
Good video,thanks for the info! :D
thanks! I really needed this video
Thank you so much me and my friend were struggling to find a guide for the wiring and you helped a lot
Super helpful dude, thanks!
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
great video tho. I never would have been able to get this pc on without it
Thanks for this, very helpful.
Glad I found this video really simple thanks
great guide, thank you
Very helpful video, thank you!
one of the best videos out there, thank you
font panel connectors are so much fun!! /s seriously they should create a different connection system for those wires. Skinny wires, into skinny pins you need a flashlight to see and the mobo reference manual to put in correctly.
Thanks ! I couldn't see where to plug in my SSD M2, you helped a lot !
this is so helpful! thank u
Great video! Thanks.
Thanks.... Helped a lot
6:15 so we aint talking ab what he drew?💀
Lmfaoooo
I know this is an old video but it was so, so helpful! Thank you!
Thanks So Much! I've been looking to adding lighting to my PC and this answered ALL my questions..Kudos ..
thanks for the vid homie
Thank you! This was super helpful
Thank you so much my guy!
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!
thank you so much for these tips it really helped me build my first pc which is a phanteks p360a
Thank you. Very helpful.
This is exactly the information I needed to learn about
This helped out so much thanks
wonderful video, really helped. Thank you so much!
Why have I seen hundreds of damn pc build videos and all of them skip the motherboard connections? Thanks for making this video.
Very helpful thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH i was so confused as to how i plug in my sata cables it sounds stupid but i didn't think about putting it in sideways
Doing my first pc build, stumbled across your channel. Great info, thank you!
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
thatll last for sure. How'd it go?
Pretty well, took me around 6 hours to build it but I took my time with the cable management. Looks nice and runs even better!
@@logand2431 that’s great to hear! I’m building mine in a weekish and Ic can’t wait!
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!
@@logand2431 nice! I’m going with the Ryzen 75800x3d and 4070ti
THANK YOU gonna try it tonight
Thanks, very precise and helpful 👍👍👍👍👍
So clutch….. thank you man!! Very well done. I appreciate you taking the time to drop some A1 knowledge….. a friend. Cam👌🏾
I'am really thankful for that well explained video, my first pc that i build myself i got lost in all the motherboard connectors.
amazing explanation thank you !
Thank you!!
Great video. Thanks
YOU ROCK DUDE! Thank you.
I getting all my stuff for to build a pc for my first time. This was really clear.
Very helpful
Bro thanks so much I need so much help once I install all of my stuff
Thank you so much , it was really helpful
Thank you!
