    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.

      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.

    I desperately need help! 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?!

    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  หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    My motherboard have 16pin cpu power and my power supply has also 16pin cpu power, m using i7 13 gen so should i use 16pin or only just 8 pin cpu power?

    • @Torqcx
      @Torqcx  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

    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?

    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
