- I get questions all the time about the best way to wire up a gaming PC, and how to connect all of the power, front panel and RGB cables. That's why in this video I'll be covering off every stage of the cabling process in a PC build, in a bid to make the process that bit easier.

No way, you’ve uploaded this god send just at the time of me building my first PC
Literally have all my parts now and have been worried to get started but this just saved my day! Will be building it this week! Wish me luck y’all!
Can't believe I just found this gem.
I just finished building my first pc a week ago. Wish I had this guide to help me!
I'm building my first right now and I'm stuck. Just need to figure out how to connect cables.😢
Very informational, thanks for giving the general location of where stuff goes.👍
Thank u soooo much for this video i needed it
You save my day. Just build my first pc on my own. life saver bro ❤
I just bought a pc and this video is so helpful. Thank you
Nice one Alex very helpful..
Thank you so much, the image for the led, power reset, etc was SOOO useful!
Amazing video. Answering questions I didn't even think to ask. Now I know that those m2 locks are for ssd drives.
Hi really well put together tutorial soon îl be assembling my gaming pc and I find your tutorial really helpful best I have watched on yt
.keep up to the good work
What a perfect tutorial.
awesome thank you
very helpful thanks
I have a GTX 970 and i5 9400f and they have lasted me well I'm looking to upgrade soon
THANK YOU
The power motherboard connectors: It doesn't matter which way you plug in the power and reset switch headers they will work either way. The LEDs however if plugged in the wrong way won't light up but this won't destroy the LEDs. If there is no lights when you power on your PC just switch it off and plug them in the other way and they will be fine.
And don't daisy chain more than 4 fans to one motherboard fan header as there won't be enough voltage.
Holy crap. I've spent hours trying to figure out what I did wrong. I searched up and down and couldn't figure out the problem and after God knows how long, I found it. I swapped the damn power and reset plugins.
I’ve just build my first pc and I’ve got a pci gen 4 psu with a 4080 super? Should I buy an extension cable for the Gpu or will it be fine to keep the existing cables.
Thanks for that! Very helpful. Got a question though. My m/b has a "PD_PWR" connector which connects to a 6 pin (well 8 pin with two pins at one end blocked off) "PCIE/CPU" connector on the PS. What is this used for? This is an MSI m/b and Corsair PS. Maybe PD stands for "power distribution", maybe? Thanks!
If the motherboard does not have USB4, is there any way you can have it added?
finally a simple way to install wires iam so buzzing thats my main problem or was yay whoop😊👌🤘👈👍
the best guide on youtube
Can you explain what is the risk of using GPU adapter please? I have Corsair rm850x 2021 and bought rtx 4070 ti. Should i buy new PSU?
Bruhv thank you I was looking for hours took my whole pc apart looking for the other front panel connectors and they don’t exist I have the all in one front panel 😂
Haha! Glad to help:)
Yeah great vid here
genuine question, I have a ryzen 5 3500 and 1650 super but i am upgrading and having a hard time figuring out to what yet. I thought about it and saw some bench marks on the 4070 and ryzen 5 5600x (was also thinking about the 5800X3D) they were pretty good, but i also saw a combo for ryzen 7 7700x with a motherboard and wifi for around 500 but I don't have the ddr5 ram. If I were to get the combo I am going to pair it with the 6800. Should I stick with the old AM4 platform or go to the new AM5 platfom.
If you are waiting a few more years to build a brand new pc with nicer components, stick to am4, but if you want a capable pc rn, go am5
what if my pc was turned off but my psu was still turned on and at the rams full speed it would have weird video glitches but just under its mhz (3533) it would be find, and then i got a new gpu which didn't work under load and just made my pc restart, was it my psus fault? and did leaving the psu on while adding the ram break my psu?
not enough people talk about the actual fan wiring tbh
When i built my first pc I remember I has such a big problem with fans and rgb. I could have used this. I had to pay a computer shop $100 for just 10 minutes of wiring. It was ridiculous.
Im new to gaming pc, is it ok to turn off psu after shutting down pc?
Your PC should have a power off button on the top or side of the PC, but yes it is
@Duckciety ok thanks, when I googled it some say yes some says no so I got a little confused
@@bon_gamin_032 Yeah, it says that if you turn it off while your PC is on or else you'll lose data
I find it amazing that there isn’t a block connector for all the front panel switches and connectors. Why the hell am I placing on single wire connectors!?!? Can you say standardization. 🤷♂️
My MSI H610M-E Pro have 4 pin JRGB header
clutch
So glad I'm not into RGB, saves me from a lot of headache.
Same. Starting a new build and I am sticking to old school fans. The only flashy thing will be the AIO pump temperature reading.
7:32 Him trying to "slide" the case around. 😬 *GPU rattle*
I just built PC by myself by watching this and my PC caught fire 😢
How’d that happen?
@@NinjitsuHiboshi am jocking bro is UPS must for gaming pc?in my home electricity fluctuate a lot should I go for ups or stabilizer?
Can you get to the point
first!!!!!1😀
