I’m trying to plug in my cpu cable for over clocking and closest to the locking clip from left to right on my motherboard is round square square round like yours and it’s the same on my power supply and the 8 pin fits it perfectly but I don’t have a cable that has 2 8 pins only a 8 pin going to 2 x 4 pins and that side doesn’t match either port on the motherboard or psu what do I need to do I think my motherboard is the same one shown in video what do I need to do from here help would be much appreciated
sorry bud, I didn't see this message, please never comment on pinned posts and or other peoples comments, youtube is horrible at delivering those messages to us, i just scan all my posts often. What is the manufacturer and model number of the power supply and motherboard?@@deer2713
Do you have any videos that show a compete build set up. I can’t get my new build to power on.

Super helpful video for beginners. When I built my 1st pc the wires was the main part that got me nervous. But once I realized it was like any other circuit board & everything is labeled. My mind was at ease.
Yeah it can be a little overwhelming for sure, so I thought it would be best to help everyone with this. Thanks so much for your kind words.

Hey ,thanks It's a holiday here and my PSU decided to die on me this morning. I could tell right away it was from it.
Sadly I'm more of a software guy than a hardware guy and I have never changed anything besides a hard drive and 2 RAMs on my PCs so changing the PSU seemed scary for me. This helped a lot especially at the point where I realized I didn't connect the hard drive to the PSU.
Your video was very informative saying what everything is for and what is for older models and what is for newer models and I genuinely know now how all of this stuff works. Thanks a bunch.

My computer did not want to start when I connected the CPU.
I did not know about the specific plug. Looking at the pins' shapes closely was very helpful.
To make it start, I had to plug that CPU, and also two PCI power as well.
Boom! The bios appears for the first time. :)))

Awesome video champ have helped me out with my first build
Awesome my friend, so very happy I could help you in your PC journey, it fills my heart with happiness to hear that, thank you as well.
As a fellow builder the past 25+ years, I feel confident of every plug in a PC. But yesterday I broke my USB 3.0 19 pin cable, I am just glad I did not break my motherboard, i was just jiggle it carefully out. The housing around the pins was stuck in the insane expensive Asus e670x hero mobo. Wish I watched a similar video about signal cables. Thank you for the entertaining and informative video.
That 3.0 connection is soooo horrible and the pins are soooooo flimsy. Thankfully they are very easy to bring back, as long as you don't force them in and break the pin, its happened hahah. Very happy you got it, and thanks so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means to the world to me and I am so very happy you enjoyed it.

It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Your CPU is great, your system has some decent specs for sure, I would say its on the higher mid level pc, lower high level, no issues at all, the 7900XT will do a great job on it, I think you will be fine at 1440P.
Super informative and detailed, thank you! This will certainly come in handy when I have to upgrade my parents' pc with new mobo ans cpu, and for when I finally build my own pc :)

Awesome my friend, I am sure this will help you. Let me know if it doesn't.
i made this exact build and some of my cables are different, and it wouldve been nice for you to show the power supply cords and where they go
You could have asked me if I built a system with this board, I show you the board and the power supply, not a build, if that is your build, that is a bit odd.
If you would have asked for it, I would have shown you the following videos

Hey! Nice video! But got an extra question.
I have the following:
PSU: ROG STRIX 1000W Gold Aura Edition
GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC
The thing is that on the PSU Asus only provided 2x 6+2-pins while my GPU needs 3x 8pins. There is also a 12+4-pins support and Asus provided two cables:
12vhpwr to 12vhpwr and 12vhpwr to 2x 8pins.
My question would be, is it 'safe' (As I know it's possible just asking how safe is it) to use 12vhpwr to 2x 8pins and 1x 6+2pins cable to provide power to the GPU?
your power support brings 2 x 8Pin PCIE cables, and 1 x PCIE cable that splits off to 2 x8Pins. Use both of the 8Pin PCIE straight cables, then use 1 of the 2 ends of the cable that breaks out to 2. So in total, there would be 3 cables, 2 x 8Pin cables and 1 cables that breaks out to 2, but you would only use one.
This is a picture of your cables: c1.neweggimages.com/ProductImageCompressAll1280/17-320-038-01.png, you would use cable #4 and #5.
PCI-E 1-to-1 Cable x 2 (700mm)
and
PCIe-E 1-to-2 Cable x 1 (700mm)

You show plugging in the SATA data cable but where do I plug the other end of the cable into? Same goes for the SATA power cable. Thanks in advance for your help.
odd, I don't plug in any SATA data cable, but I do show the power cable, perhaps you didn't watch the video. Regardless this is a video on the power supply. Perhaps you want this video czcams.com/video/Em9KVRmxIYI/video.html
I've got an SSD wondering where it plugs into my power supply? 3 pin? 4 pin, 8 pin? Can't seem to figure it out online. I'm seeing different numbers of pins all for products that do the same thing (I think)

Hello and great video! I have an alienware r13 and it came with a non modular 750w psu. The power connector for the gpu is a daisy chained 6 and 8 pin connector cable where the 8 pin is being used for the oem nvidia 3060ti. I purchased an aftermarket gigabyte gtx 3070ti and it did not come with a power corrector but requires 2 × 8 pin connection. My question is do you feel it safe for me to buy an 8 pin to 2 x 8 pin pcie adapter to make it work? Or am i out of luck? I'm new to this and learning on the fly so really interested in your thoughts. Thank you!
Thanks my friend, so the recommended PSU for that is 750Watts, so you are good, and thats usually for more than it needs, and an entire system but you want to daisy chain an 8Pin to spin off to 2 x 8Pins, ... splitting the power of 150Watts, into 2, 75Watts per connector, I dont recommend it. Do you have the manufacturer and model number of that psu?
@@ThisBytesForYou howdy, well false alarm. I found the other power value tucked back in the chassis this morning. So no need! I'm good and the 3070ti is up and running. Cheers

“ yourPC/Device needs to be repaired

You’ll need to use recovery tools,
Do you have a work around this problem as I don’t have (windows disc,usb backup or my windows key 😔)

Did you change anything in the BIOS, and how many drives do you have?
Thanks!
I’m in the middle of installing the ATX CPU Cable but I don’t no if I got it right as my one is only a four pin motherboard and got a 550w psu I think it’s a non modular one the brand is hyper 80 it’s only a cheap one I’m not sure if I connected it right as my old psu had a single four pin for the motherboard a 24 pin and a cord that went from psu to the hdd and from the cord that went in hdd there is a cord that goes into the disk drive so I’m not sure if I need that or what

bought AM5 platform with a 7700 cpu the MB is complete overkill but im planning to upgrade down the line, the MB came with 2X8pin EPS connectors theres no way the 7700 needs even half of one but i plugged both in figuring it wouldnt make any difference the cpu just pulls what it wants and later it will be easy upgrade.
is that right?
great vid btw
Thanks bud, yeah you should only need 1 eps 8 pin connection but it won't hurt to have 2 connected, if it's available on my board, I connect it. It just provides clean power whenever it's needed. Yeah, it only pulls what it needs, same with the GPU. Thanks so much for your kind words and support my friends it means the world to me.
for the cpu connecter do the 2 4 pins have to connect with each other or can you just plug both of them in? My 4 pin cords dont connect with each other.
nah, they don't need to tie together, as long as they go in their respective slots they are good
thank you! I have been trying for 2 weeks to find a cord I already have!@@ThisBytesForYou

Random question here, will a corsair sf750 be enough for a 13600k and a 4070ti?
yeah , you should be good.
There are many SATA connectors connected to 1 wire coming from the PSU should i use the last end of the SATA connector or the nearest to the PSU
which ever one on that is OK, they don't pull enough power to be a burden, I recommend using the one that will help your cabling look the nicest.

thanks so much bud, glad to see you and hope you enjoyed the video. I just released a short you might like
@@ThisBytesForYou
I will be sure to check it out
Nice.
Thanks bud, so very happy you enjoyed it
Thanks for this, it has really helped me with my new build. Not new to PC building over the years, from ATX down to micro ATX, Molex SATA now m.2. I can not believe how stupidly complex connecting a PC together has become, even with a modular power supply, I now need 3 separate cables just to conect my GPU which I am at pains to find... The next step must be to buy an external 12v battery, make a hole in the case and run a cable straight in to the GPU. that seems to be the level of stupid that GPU power supple manufacturers have reached!
you are getting very iffy if you doing external power, very iffy but yeah, its not new but it is a pain for sure.
Helpful
Thank you so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means the world to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
I just installed an ASUS RTX4080 Super that requires 3 PCIe/GPU power connections. My Motherboard (ASRock670), uses 2 PCIe power connections. My Corsair 850 PSU only has 4 PCIe power connections. Should I use a pigtail connector on the Motherboard/CPU or on one of the PCIe/GPU connectors?
Never pigtail if you can avoid it, use straight connections from your power supply. Your motherboard does not need both Pcie connections, which is not PCIe it's EPS, it only requires one. 2 would be if you are hardcore overcooking.
New to this, like you said in the video the last computer I built was like 15 years ago Windows XP now I need to upgrade to Windows 11, so I went to Amazon and got a Rison AMD and motherboard combo unit of course a new power supply and a new case I can’t seem to get the computer to start up push the button and I get a red CPU light and the board won’t post. I’m kind of stuck at this point not sure what to do.
So that I can help, please list the manufacturer and exact model number of the following components:
1. Motherboard - manufacturer and exact model number
2. CPU - manufacturer and exact model number
3. RAM - manufacturer and exact model number
4. Video Card - manufacturer and exact model number
5. Power supply - manufacturer and exact model number
6. Monitor - manufacturer and exact model number
Redundant I know, but many people forget to enter manufacturer and exact model number
7. Do you have ALL of the PCIE connections plugged in, and not daisy chained or pigtailed, each coming directly from the power supply?
8. Are you running through HDMI, DP, DVI, VGA, any adapters?
9. Is UEFI or Legacy Setup in the BIOS?
10. What slots do you have your RAM installed in?
11.Do you have CSM Enabled or Disabled in the BIOS
11. Installed latest supported chipset driver?
12. Have you disabled Fast Boot within Windows?
13. This video will help you identify hardware inside your PC: czcams.com/video/65ZSiVImJx0/video.html
Hi, mate how u doing? I sow on YT your movie about update bios for z690 tuf. I have a hard problem with that motherboard. I have i5 13600kf this is 13th gen. and I can not start up my PC. Can you help me how to UPDATE BIOS without cpu?
Please provide the exact model number and manufacture fo the board, there are many tuf boards. And seriously, you've messaged across 3 video's and 2 platforms, breath my friend, I will help you.
So a quick question, my psu has a daisy chained 8pin pcie power cable, can I get away with using that on a asus tuf 4070 ti gpu? Or should I just upgrade my psu to an 850w? (PS my current psu is a Corsair cv750)
You should never daisy chain, might want to upgrade your power supply
Oh ok thanks, so maybe upgrading to a corsair rm850x is a better move for future proofing as well right?
@@shush9860 future proof more would be more a 1000, I've had 3 x 1000 watts for over 10 years and 1200watts for over 20 years, although I gave my 1200watt to a friend and he still uses it.
Well a 1000w psu might be a better move just in case, thanks again for the advice
@@shush9860 always a pleasure my friend, also, the power supplies I was and am in using are EVGA power supplies.
There will be no overclocking for me..
I am just happy one of his running.
U. Da. Boss. Iggy
yeah I dont overclock either, not my thing
i know understand the pci, cpu, and motherboard cords. but do i need any other ones? im confused on where the rest go.

Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
also decent psu will have labels written on cables so it will be pretty hard to mess up xD
yup, the EVGA one I had as a reference along side does, but not all do so I wanted to show them all. As for hard to mess up,... I have seen many mess up the easiest so I try to show it all haha.
Should the 4-pin connector for CPU power be connected?
I go over it in the video my friend, you would learn a ton from it, did you watch it?
So if I want to over clock I should connect all the connectors on the cpu connector
I recommend it, yes, like I mention here.
I see you are serious about helping people and well, I'm seriously in need of help. I bought an ASUS Phoenix RTX 3060 12GB V2 with an 8pin VGA1 power connection but had no cable to connect to it to the 6+2 pci-e outs on my Thermaltake Smart ProRGB 850W power supply. I've been hunting for months and I got no help from either ASUS or Thermaltake. Any ideas on how I can figure this out?
6+2 works perfectly fine, you are good my friend, sorry about the delay too
good

Hey I have a ? I bought the nzxt kraken ,I don't remember the # right now but the water block has a read out that shows the temp on cpu & gpu on the software there is a light where you can change the % and the rgb , now the light won't show the read out it shows next advertising, and windows say it does not recognise usb c ,I think next do this to advertise their products
Not sure to tell you, I would need to know the model number so I can find the manual and help you
@@ThisBytesForYou hey i spoke to one of their rep at nzxt and ask him if he had an iphone and he said yes with a little giggle , like he knew why i sak about his phone , remember couple of years ago apple update were causing idiots with iphone batteries to malfunction or some thing, well i ask him about why did his company advertisement replaced my read out and he gave me a little run aroung but then aske me if i ahd emailed them about this problem and i said he asked what was my email address and he found it a few hours later the bull shit was gone and now my temp read out is back.

Q: I purchased a new 450 watt older stock p4 power supply.
It has the right plug to the mobo,but only a stock 4 pin p4 and I can add a splitter, to plug into mobo,on my MSI TOMAHAWK GAMING BOARD. .
The mobo powers up on the 450 watt psu! And the 3 fans run plus colors!
Did you watch this video? Also, there are tons of different types of MSI TOMAHAWK GAMING BOARD, what is the full name of the board?
@ThisBytesForYou: it's a Mag B550 Tomahawk.I put 4 x2 paired 8 gigs of ram in it,no cpu yet,but it's posting,fans blow.
I wondered why I ony had a clear light in the fans,no color,so I hit what I thought was the resent button( no longer available),but it wasn't, but hey,I've got color fans!
@ThisBytesForYou Yes, some of it,but I've built a few units and had several older boxes,like a 386sx,then 386 dx,remember those days with a wopping 4 megs of ram? Then the dx came out,ram jumped to either 8 or 16 megs,and some ppl even played doom on them!
And along came the 486 tower servers,they ruled the desktop and small server world! Then the 586,and here we are choosing which plugs to use,in our modern computers or recycled computers!
Yes I watched some of your videos but as I'm pretty smart,I didn't need all that info! But thanks for it.

I had to check your channel again.
Because certain notifications are not coming to me.
Iggy if you would please.
? When somebody sends you an email, is it possible for them to retract it ?
In other words.
Deleted on my end after I receive it ?
The reason I ask is because.
I noticed someone I know had sent me an email.
I chose not to look at it on my computer.
I figured I would check it on my phone a few minutes later.
When I went to my phone I noticed it was not there.
I thought to myself this is crazy I know I saw it on my computer.

how do i get power to the hdmi and usb ports on my motherboard?
HDMI and USB don't need power provided to them, what are you trying to do?
That's one drive I never had maybe with both plugs!
no, you wouldn't plug in both, just one sata power or data power, not both.
@ThisBytesForYou That's not what I meant! But I've never seen a hdd with both styles of plugs! To the best of my recollection!
And no, I wouldn't plug both in at the same time, if I had one like the one you showed!
Just so ppl know,do not touch the parts on a hardrives mobo to the steel chassis or hdd goes pfzzt! With a tiny puff of smoke!
@@davidrussell8795 yeah, when SATA first came out, of course Molex was king, so HDD manufactures as you can imagine had MILLIONS of these chassis' laying around, so they added the SATA connection to save money and resources, after a period of time, the dual interface died off since the resources depleted. I was a product development engineer with Alienware when SATA was released, so I had worked with thousands, maybe millions of them.
Right, that's why there are stand offs on a case, to separate the motherboard from the chassis, to not fry it.
What if my MB has two 8 pin cpu connections? Do I plug in both?
well, if you plan on hardcore overclocking you should plug in both, but if you are not, plugging in one will be fine.
@@ThisBytesForYou does it matter which one of the two needs to be plugged in?
Nope, which ever you prefer.
It would be great for future videos if you could use the focus. Having a shallow depth of field and then using auto focus means it was mostly out of focus....
It's all me shooting, I don't have help so it is incredibly difficult. But thanks for the advice
@@ThisBytesForYou That's fair enough, it's pretty touch shooting alone. In that case for the close ups and showing components, I suggest you use manual focus instead of auto, will help greatly once you get it right. Put the output from camera on a big screen so you can check as you're filming!
@wcndave I have the mini lcd facing me so I can see what I am doing but maybe I should move it to something larger but money is stupid tight right now, gotta play to by ear. Thanks for the advice. A few others have said it, forgetting that the entity reading this is human, so that falls on def ears but this is great, thank you for remembering I am human and keeping it real, you rock ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou My cheap camera has HDMI out for monitoring, and I just plug it into a 10 year old computer monitor that's not doing anything else. You probably have something behind you for that. Remember that better video (like seeing what you're doing) means more likes and then views, and then revenues so money won't be so tight!

My CPU needs 150W and im never going to overclock it either. Can I use only the 24 pin ATX cable to the motherboard or do I need to plug in the extra PCle 8 pin cable aswell? Because I really need two PCle 8 pin cables for the GPU and the PSU only comes with two PCle 8 pins.
Please answer, Nobody will answer so far it's really annoying.
You always need the 8pin EPS connection and 24pin , there is no ifs on that. Also, there is EPS and there is PCIE, you cant share the cable, they are physically different. What is the manufacturer and model number of your power supply, graphics card and motherboard.
@@ThisBytesForYou
Motherboard - ASUS TUF gaming B760 plus wifi D4.
CPU - Intel core i5 12600KF.
GPU - MSI geforce RTX 2070 super Gaming X Trio. It uses two 8 pins PCle.
PSU - MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850W.
From what I've seen, That modular PSU only comes with two 8 pins PCle cables and two other PCle cables for newer GPU's with 16 pin.
So I don't know what to do.
@@ThisBytesForYou Never mind I just overthough. I see on MSI's website that the mpg 850w psu comes with an EPS cable as you spoke of. The question is tho, Do I plug the EPS cable into a PCle connection on the PSU?
On the site for your power supply, it shows the example you are looking for, you have 4 connectors all together and in your case, the connection to the power supply is the same for all 4, but the ends, to the motherboard/graphics card are different.
So plug 2 8Pin PCIE cables to the graphics card, and 1 or both of the 8Pin EPS connections to the 8Pins EPS connections near your cpu: storage-asset.msi.com/global/picture/image/feature/power/MPG/A1000G-pcie5/gpu02.jpg

sorry my friend that power supply alone tells me the card won't work, the sapphire pulse requires a system with a 500Watt power supply. your system does not have enough power, don't worry about adapters, worry about getting a new power supply. Provide the measurements for the height, width and depth of the power supply and I will see if you can get an upgrade.
The molex wasn't too bad if you weren't pulling the harddrive out 50 xs like I did!
That's when u had connections problems!
Molex was a nightmare, one offs is nothing but when you build hundreds a day, you really feel how bad the design is, SATA is easier, just flimsy
U can buy adapters for plugs and power plugs, and extensions,so u don't have to force it,but u rusk breaking the board if u do this.
