Your long cable had pin 20 live, it didn't meet displayport spec and was feeding voltage from the monitor back into the gpu keeping the system from fully powering off between power cycles and shorting the card when unplugged causing the system to crash.
Your comment deserves more likes
How can anyone visually tell this about one of these cables and how to tell prior to online purchase where you can't see the cable in person?

1) pull out the angle grinder
2) jerryrig some water cooling
3) RGB RGB RGB
4) Sexy Glam footage
5) Speaking of (insert here)...
6) Drop the entire thing and break it
And it would be a Titan and an i9

I'll tell you how linus would do it:
1. buy some completely rediculous equipment just for this one job
2. get Alex to do it
And he would've figured out the problem in 5 seconds instead of 5 days.

USB-C had a similar issue, cables could be manufactured poorly and damage the Type-C port - it's why many phone manufacturers may not allow warranty service if the USB-C port is damaged and you used a third-party cable.
@@TheRealCharlieSuper THX for the fact
Have a good day
I just built my PC since 2014 and it didn't boot because I had the fan header and RGB header connected to the motherboard.
I was just about to send my MOBO to warranty when I booted up the PC without the 6 pin cable of the fans connected and see that was the problem.

**BRUH**
Anyone wondering what the issue is:
I had the same issue before, the cheap cable I bought had the power pin connected (it's not supposed to be, and yes for some reason DP has a power pin) and the monitor is sending power back to my graphics card. I purposely damaged that single pin and now the cable works flawlessly.
Spot on. It's the problematic 3.3v pin 20. With improperly designed cables that have it wired up, an effect known as backfeed can occur. And it can potentially even brick your entire graphics card. At best, it'll keep the RGB on while the PC is unplugged.
This comment deserves more likes! I've been fixing PCs and I have never heard of this before!
This can be the reason too that the gpu was throttling and was too hot because of the 20th pin.
Had the same problem 3 years ago... I found out about the pin 20 issue on very old blog and after the plastic housing on one end of the dp cable just broke in my hands I decided to pull out the pin 20 wire and it started working!!!
Really stupid problem that really should not exist anymore in 2019...
@@gilrubin5711 the only reason pin 20 is there is so that adapters can get power without an apart power supply. Other than that its just stupid alot of manufactures don't know about it. Even the displayport cables that comes out of the box for some monitors are with pin 20

You know the beep codes are mentioned in the mobo manual right?
And 2 beeps is usually the universal code for a video card problem
I’ve seen newer models of mobos that don’t feature beep codes, but since this is an old mobo, I have to agree.
@@Ripjawismad He knew the beep code and that it was video related or thats just what he assumed, hints why he swaps monitors and gpus. The beep codes dont go into the deph of a problem just what kind of problem it is.

@SuperLolMine - CZcams no it doesnt sadly but other websites do
The whole time I was screaming at my screen "ITS THE F*****G CABLE"
Do you know why exactly it was the cable? I'm curious.
@@beukenboomer604 Pin 20 in displayport is powered from both the gpu side and monitor side so that powered Converters or extender boxes can be powered from either end.
When such a unit is connected, it accepts power only at one side and so you don't get backfeed along the entire setup.
When pin 20 is active on a cable that just goes monitorgraphics card backfeed occurs, voltage can shortcircuit device on either end and cause all sorts of hell since they don't have the same phase variation on both sides.
Lots of minidp to dp cables had the pin20 wired up too so you could easily fry that port on your laptop if you weren't careful.

What's a sleeper pc?
Hy Pham It's a powerful desktop in a case that makes it look older or lower-end than it really is.
Suggestion for better cooling:
1. Make a 120mm diameter hole under the PC
2. Increase the case height by an inch
3. Add 120mm intake fan there
the air is in or out?
@@spectaco Intake.
ltt did that lol
Greatest thing about PC building is, you always learn new things with every build lol.
the case has a front fan, that you have not equiped, it's an 80mm and it's at the front bottom behind the metal shroud
Linus also got rekt by a video cable on his 8K TV video, though it was HDMI.
For me HDMI has been solid, display port less so. Though I still use it because it's the only way for me to get 144hz on my monitor. The HDMI ports on my monitor don't support that refresh rate.
Displayport to HDMI adapter. They are active adaptors that translate signals and the correct choice of adaptor does make a difference. I had problems with an expensive Belkin cable purchased from the Apple store, and replaced it with an unbranded €15 adapter from FNAC (think French equivalent of Best Buy) and that worked perfectly.
Did you get thst cable from Linus' giveaway bin at LTX?
More like the dumpster behind LTX.

Display port cables really are annoying. HDMI cables, no matter how cheap will work. Display port cables on the other hand no so much.
Its true theyre are finicky AF in general with them the more you spend the better the quality. VESA needs to come down hard on the manufacturers and lock down the cable manufacturing techniques or w/e. I just dont understand how HDMI is simple to implement but DP is the wildwest....
Caton Vracar
This is unfortunately very true. My DP cable just randomly stopped sending signals in the middle of a gaming session. Switched to HDMI and it was perfectly fine. Imagine that.
Yeah HDMI is better
If you want 144hz to work you must use display port instead of hdmi because hdmi wont support that, I never had promblems with DP tho...
@@gzwtupid6118 Yeah... I really want to use hdmi but i want 144hz as well.

Wow! I'm totally using that case on one of my builds in my home office right now! LOL! It's crazy to see someone else using it all these years later!
your DP cable had pin 20 on it, which is not supposed to be, connecting pin 20 feeds 3.3v back into your video card, which causes issues, and may even damage the video card or worst brick it, apparently there are a lot of DP cables that connect pin 20

@@RobbDrew03 oh ok
So you added 2 80mm fans, the overclocked it, so it’s still hot af.
Good
Lol probably should've kept it stock
My PC "FuturePower branded" PC from 1999 I have 3 80mm fans in mine with two fan controllers with USB 3 and HD Audio, most of the fans reach around 2000RPM & the case sits around 100F playing Half-Life Alyx VR with a Gigabyte WINDFORCE Full-Sized Overclocked GTX 970 that fits with a whole millimeter to spare (so certainly not bad). Small case like that though I would def install high RPM fans 2000RPM+ though (Both rear and intake if possible) cooling OC components can be no joke and installing 120mm fans in a case like that is not easy without breaking out the metal grinder & and in some old cases may not be poss as the IO is too close to the fan shroud
I've had this problem too! That happened to me with a faulty HDMI cable, my computer straight up stopped working. I think I tried it at another monitor with another cable and that did it, then I started changing things until I noticed that the cable was the problem.
Honestly, I've also had cables that have rebooted my systems and some times crash my Tv. Can't wait for part 2

You know what killed my PC?
Uncontrollable anger from high ping
Definitely a pin 20 issue. I can't stand DP. I had the same problem when we installed a new machine at work.
I started modding cases before this old case was made, so I can give advice on how it would have been modded in the early 2000s. Drill holes in the 3-1/2" bay covers, remove the filters, use higher velocity fans, fit a 96mm fan in the back, and cut intake fan holes in the side cover, using 80mm fans and those chrome wire grilles. You'll need a drill with a cone bit and a hole saw to pull it off. and some server fans. You'll see some decent numbers with cooling, but also the sound of an airliner taxiing whenever you turn it on.
Get rid of the plastic front and build a 140mm fan into the curve. Use a bit of MDV wood to cover the rest of the front - worked for my 'old' case except I used the 5 1/4 bay areas.
I have the same Blu Ray drive (so o can rip owned Blu-rays to Plex server) and it was cheaper than most but reliable. So I can see why you also went with it.
2017: "So who exactly is optane for??? =S"
2019: Austin... It's for Austin.
older DDR3 based systems have a multiple monitor issue where they cannot expunge the old info and it conflicts with other monitors connected -- it will also multiply the same monitor if you reinstall it
Your videos are super interesting and entertaining !! It’s like I found nerd heaven !! Don’t take that the wrong way I mean this in a really cool way positive way !! Keep up the awesome work !
Instead of adding the blue-ray drive you could just 3d print some covers for the holes.
ive had a similar issue with display port
my pc wouldnt post anymore
it was just that the cable came loose on one of the sides.
i feel like there are some huge problems with display port if it can cause a pc to not post
I had a bad cable out of the monitor box. Luckily for me I already bought a replacement just in case the monitor didn't have a display port cable and from there just replaced it when it arrived.
Lol @ hitting the pc case though. Gotta say video was,very entertaining Austin
I had the similar issue, only my PC would boot fine after the beeps. When I heard the one long beep followed by three short ones (Asus beep code for graphics problems) I recognized it immediately.
this whole video is LITERALLY me when i built my own pc.... having unimaginable errors
i also thought i destroyed my graphics card by overclocking it and a few moments later the screen went black. turns out i had to completely turn off my monitor and pluggint it from the wall to let some capacitors discharge, then all worked again. Fckn displayport. but its the only port i can get 144hz from
@PlayerIdentity not on my graphics card
A similar thing happened to me a month ago after a bios update. It wouldn’t boot, but only when plugged into the DisplayPort of MY monitor. Worked on HDMI, worked on other DP monitors, but wouldn’t work on mine. It fixed when I unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in.
These videos make me so excited to build my gaming pc
I thought in the thumbnail that the mesh on the front was a blue display with a grid displaying something.
the proper way to build a sleeper pc....... NO FRIKIN RGB, well done sir well done
The case has an air intake hole in the front bottom part. I saw a fan mount in in inner front bottom part of the case. Should have mounted the fan there. Most generic and older cases take their air in the lower front all the time if not from the side (gpu lower and/or cpu higher). Alternatively, just put an exhaust fan in the back for negative pressure to breathe air in through the biggest hole -- the bottom front hole. (or tape the holes up as the PSU can exhaust)
3:53 the bottom hole is even circular so you know it can only be ine thing -- a fan.
I actually had problem years ago where I was using my shiny new 144Hz monitor trough DVI cable. Everything did work out fine, but there was like 10 games which were crashing on me for no apparent reason. This included games like Rayman Legends, where games 1.00 version and demo worked but latest patch did not. I changed the cable from DVI to DisplayPort cable and those games just started to work just fine.
Literally everything else worked absolutely fine!

I had a very similar problem with a faulty displayport cable running some current unexpectedly. Caused a completely new budget build to boot loop whenever you tried to restart after updates or something. Always had to remove power cable and have the capacitors drain before I could ever achieve a successful boot. Also, the mainboard power led was always on! Whenever I'd put that build on my working table and connect my testing peripherals (some old small DELL monitor, simple mouse and keyboard etc) the problem would go away. At some point I was just as irritated and desperate as you were, running out of ideas. The peripherals used with that PC at its actual workspace were the only parts still differing from my test setup, so I plugged those peripherals in one by one. Once I'd connected that monitors displayport cable the mainbord power led would light up. Once I changed the displayport cable to one without those prongs keeping it in place it worked just fine. Apparently displayport cables with prongs/clamps are prone to cause damage to the displayport and thus running current that's not supposed to be. At least that's what some web research turned up. Does that make any sense? Can anyone confirm that?

i have a sleeper case similar to this and took a dremel to the rear fan grille (super similar to the one you have) and just bought some cheap grilles on amazon.
Why not cut open the bottom of the case and add an additional fan and mesh cover there? Maybe add some additional height to the feet already on the unit by a few mm.
