Smoothest voice on youtube, and excellent information about the eatx 12v connectors.. Very much appreciated!
+chongo989 Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad it helped!
Even after all this years, this tutorial is still awesome! Good Job :D
Your voice is soothing and the amount of generous information you provided is very appreciated thank u.
Thank you ! i'm watching this vid in 2020 and idk i thought that connecting PSU and MOBO is rocket science but your vid made it seem like so damn easy
This has been the best video ever! I finally understand. Thanks
This guy has a great voice for commentary.
Thank you, Jake! For your kind words!
ty so much, newegg failed to help on a certain specific but you helped me solve my issue
Hi Kevin, glad i could help...
Dam this guy is the like Bob Ross of computers
I got more idea of your content thanks a lot.....from Philippines
my teacher sent your video to us the students so I think he approved you buddy XD
I'm doing my first build.... yours is the best build video I've seen. Thanks.
John Schaeffer you're welcome john! best of luck with your new build!
Many thanks - I wondered why my new build would not start up. It was the 2 x 4 pins into 1 8 pin socket that threw me.
Hi Joaquin, What model of motherboard did you buy? if it's a pro board you should buy a "full sized tower" (eg ATX full tower) for fans and air circulation around the motherboard, the model of motherboard determines the size of the tower unit, but if your tower unit is not touching the power supply then you are fine and install the max amount of fans that case can handle. Also consider what kind of graphics card you will be installing, this too will determine the size of the tower unit.
Hi Sotiris, Not with out power going to the processor there is an other 4pin connector that you must plug into the cpu ATX12V will be printed on the board beside it. Don't turn on the power until you have install the cpu fan and also remember that the cpu fan has to be connect to the board anter that you can turn on your PC to test but all you'll see is the fans turning and few lights. always always check you're Manual and double check everything before you turn on you're PC.
Hi CoCoNuTz122, All motherboards have either a 20 or 24 pin connector for the power supply, unless it's one of those advance pro motherboards. so what i sagest you do is check in the manual that came with you're motherboard and find out in that manual where the PSU has to be connected. if you don't have the manual you can get one on the manufactures website.
Thanks this video helped a lot, I had no idea how to connect the power supply to the mother board
Glad it helped you out... tedoleto1
😂😂😂
nice vid. My only complaint would be "I could do without the music"
My motherboard is an ATX asus M5A97 R2.0, the case is a mid-tower. All the components fit well, the only concern i had was what i asked you before. The power supply doesn't touch the case. Thanks for the info.
Thanks! This really helped me out, I was so confused.
that 4 pin PSU connector could be plugged in the wrong 4 pin socket consult the manual that came with your motherboard, you'll find it on the manufactures website if you don't have it.... this is the only way to find out the correct placement for all connections.
Hi PieGizmo, yes the only one that's missing is the high end graphics card so you can check them out on my home page
What was considered a high end graphics card back then?
What if i have a I7-3820 and a GA-X79-UP4 (That requires 24+8) but my psu is 20+4 pin? what do i do i am not overclocking however i am using Adobe After Effects on many monitors do i use the converter 20 to 24 and 4 to 8?
very good video and nice ep;anation
just wanted to say very nicely done and informitive, also relaxing calming music in the background, deff helped me to explain to a friend on how to build his pc being im in ma and hes in nj kinda hard for me to be there and do it for him, wish we had teleporters like on startrek ......
Hi Garry, Glad it helped... it's hard to explain in words... a teleport would be handy though in this game, thanks for your comment it made my day :>)
Thank you so much I didn't realize only two out of all the extra cables mattered. :)
Hi, Yes that's true! But the other connections are indicators for hard drive and there is a speaker which beeps when there is a problem! So they are good to install also!
You have a nice explanation and i can really understand of what you ssaying
thank you for the video. It helped me.
cheers! no problem :)
Great video
Helped me alot...thanks
john weslin You're welcome! John
Hi mitsakosmitsakos, The worst that could happen is your computer will not start their is no risk to you're house or outlets because all power supply have protection just follow the manual that came with your motherboard and you will be fine all connections to the motherboard from the power supply are keyed so there is only one way for them to go in, also all other components and parts that are connected are keyed, so as i said double check your manual for connections.
yes do all the above and connect up hard drive and monitor also... and then turn on and you will see that the next job is install an operating system...
okay thanks,should i also connect the hdd led,pwr etc to the motherboard ?
you saved me mate. thank you
I'm delighted you got it sorted Bud!
you're a pro, can I ask. why can't I update my ddr3 gt 730? I'm using i3-6100 on a gigabyte H110M mobo DDR4 and also whenever I tried to move my mouse 2x the normal speed it would go crazy like it goes everywhere. is this somehow the graphics cards fault?
Dirt on the light at bottom of mouse will cause the pointer to go all over the screen! or it might be a lost cause! Now updating a graphics card will not make it preform any better than it dose right now! It might be a good idea to upgrade the card, ddr3 tells me that it's a few years old this could be a good time to upgrade! especially if you play a lot of games or edit videos or any type of graphic editing! OK, hope that helps!
actually I just upgraded my mobo, before my mouse worked fine but now its crazy. I think its the graphics card?? btw thank you for replying :3
This really helped me. Great
happy computing! thanks for the comment!
My motherboard doesn't seem to have a 20/24 pin slot for the psu connectors, can you tell me why?
Hi Greg, You will need the extra 4x4 pin power for the cpu cause the Adobe After Effects will require extra power for turbo when in high usage... put it will work with the just 4 pin connector but no turbo power so things will slow down when in high usage. a new power supply will not be that expensive i sagest you buy one for comfort of use...
Hi AlcatrazSniper, What is the model of your motherboard i can't tell you exactly... all boards must have a processor power connection or it will not work, so let me know what model your board is and i will check for you but you should be able to find this out in motherboard manual...
you should make another video like how to connect the SATA connections FDD and peripheral.
+Vegas “Vegas747” Seven four seven i have all the peripheral components covered in short videos ruclips.net/video/xFud4nbU_Y8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/8TdImrNZxYQ/видео.html and the how to build a PC ruclips.net/video/RGw8N4rG3AI/видео.html check them out if like. I also will be making them all again! just to keep them up-to-date current with the teck thats coming out. thank you for your input and encouragement! All the best "Vegas747"
hi great video my video card takes 2 4 pin connectors and my mother board has a 4 pin but my 350w psu only has 2 4 pins do i need a different psu does the mother board really need the 4 pin connector why cant it just use the 24 pin and give me the other 4 for video card
It is working now. It was a problem with some short-circuit on mobo. thanks
hi Kelvin, i seen ur this video but how to know whether which others cables from power supply to plug into which other part like motherboard,hard drive,graphics card etc... and how to recognize all the cables from power supply tat plug into which sockets? but anyways thanks for ur tis video its helpfull
TheKamerocky all connection are "keyed" so they will only fix into a certain component! therefor you cannot plug into the wrong connector, OK!
Kevin Colleran ok, thanks alot
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
not at all it a simple matter of following your manual that came with you're motherboard...
Should there be extra cables
Thank you so much!
You're welcome !
My board didnt come with a 4pin connector
thanks alot
thank you nice video and Guide :)
Thanks Bud! Glad it helped!
Love your voice...be a RJ...
thx kevin that was great ::)
You're welcome Nyran
hello, i have an 8 pin cpu power connector. but my 8 pin connector doesnt EXACTLY match up with keyed pins. it still fits perfect. One of the 4+4 connectors doesnt have keyed square pins diagonally placed. i hope this kind of makes sense plz get back to me.
Hey Kevin, I recently bought all the parts for my new computer. There is one issue however that, my new motherboard has an 8-pin 12V ATX slot, but my PSU has just a 4-pin connector like the one you showed. Can I connect the 4-pins from the PSU to just the first 4 pins of the 8-pin motherboard slot ?
I have an AMD FX 6300 by the way and it needs 95W TDP.
yes, that's ok, but it's not going to give you the turbo power if you have a CPU with turbo speed boost!
I mean, if I connect the 4pin from the PSU to half of the 8 pins on the motherboard, it won't damage my motherboard or AMD processor in any way right ?
by the way.. this is me from another account.
no it won't damage anything, bud! you're fine using 4 pin connector!
okay.. thanx a lot Kevin.
your help is much appreciated.
Glad to help!
So I have an 8 pin socket and 8 pin connector I’ve only got 4 plugged in my pc is fine and runs perfectly. It’s a i5 8400. Is this okay
Where do you connect the remaining wires?
Thank you!
I'm glad it helped ! Thank for the comment!
so do I need a new 4 pin connector if it isn't long enough to reach to the 4 pin for Powersupply....
+Gee Yes you need a 4pin extension connector cable for the CPU power. If that power supply cable is not long enough then i sagest getting a new power supply it's probably a few years old now? If that's the case get a new one it owns you nothing and there not expensive. Here's a link to amazon for the extension cable if you want to go that route! computerhelpmadeeasy.ie/computer-build-components/

Thanks mate!
Dham Keith you're welcome Bud!
so the 4 pin connector 12v is just to power the cpu what if u dnt connect it does it just not switch on?
connor gouws ur computer won’t run
I bought a tower that's kind of small, the motherboard and the power supply are almost touching. Is this dangerous for my motherboard?
I have in my motherboard 5 pins on top them 6 on the bottom and I only have the led + led - h.d.d reset sw and a power button but I’m so confused on it
if i connect only the 20-4 pin to the motherboard without connecting hard drives, will my pc power on ?
I have bought apu a8-6600k and gigabyte mobo f2a85xm-d3h and cheap PSU with 24pin connector and 4 pin connector. On motherboard there is 8 pin connector so i plug in 4 pin form PSU on that 8 pin. PC ca not start up. What is the problem? Thanks.
what is my power of pcie slot on my motherboard base on the number of pin connecters?
problem is i want to install a gtx 1050 and it require 75w pcie slot, but i dont know my pcie is 25w or 75w
I got a new zebronics Zeb 450W power supply. My monitor has two plugs one which has blue wire connected and the other one goes to the power supply (3 pin wire) .Now the new power has only one power plug. So where to connect the other wire of the monitor ?
So you need to get an extra "power cable" to connect to your monitor and you can connect directly to a "wall socket" you don't need to connect your monitor through the power supply, it may have been that your monitor came with your last computer and was setup in such a way that it saved on cables going to the wall socket. So the options are get the same type of power power supply that was in your last computer setup or get a "wall socket" power cable for your monitor. That's your only options... hope that helps
Okay thanks kevin. I'll do that
Plzz help I have my old pc's power supply with dual plugs (input and output) I just bought a new one because the older one caused many problems! Now the question is that the new power supply has only one power plug. So am only able to turn on the cpu and not the monitor. I cant understand.Do i need an extra wire ? But there is no extra plug on power supply. Wat to do ?
what kind of power supply did you get? the power supply should have all the connection that connect to the motherboard. you do not connect a power supply to a monitor or is this a typo????
The 4 pin wire isn't long enough what do I do
Can someone help me, if I only have a four pin coming from my power supply but I only have a 8 slot on my mother board do I just plug the four in or will that not work?
I Connected everything in my tower is it still not showing up on my monitor or my TV what Do I do
good ol' RUclips
my power supply got 2 4-pin connectors (splitted) but i can't seem to find the right place to plug it in. are both connecters necessairy?
No some motherboards only require the 20 pin
Jpred98 no i mean its 1 cable thats splits into two different cables with both having 4 pins
I cannot find a 4 pin connector on my motherboard but there is a 6pin that says PCB over it, is that the correct socket?
Do i connect 2 4 pins in this slot or a 6 pin connector + 2pins? thanks
What component are you connecting? you did not mention what the connector cable is connected to {a FAN maybe?}
thanks man
+MushroomTipBob No bother Bud!
TY
You're very welcome...
are you trying to hypnotize people?? lol
how do you connect a 300 w power supply to an integrated on board 65w power supply?
+marty torrez I have not came across that system board what make and model is it? If the power supply is integrated then you can't unless you can by pass it.... i don't have enough info about the system to know what you can do!
Intel Pentium G2020T 2.50ghz Intergrated HD Ghapics Mootherboard with built in Power Supply (65w).
I have learned that it is not possible to upgrade any components, only ram. I'm sorry I bought this now that I know more about computes, but I learned. Thx for responding.
It's all learning curve! we can't know everything all at once, enjoy the process!
thx
i have the 4 pin connector but it wont fit inside the thing why is that
+billyhatcher643 It may take a little force to get the four pin connector in, and i know it's in a tight space and you can't get in at it but stick with it and you will get it in!
Also try wiggling the connector in the socket first that will also help! If none of that helps then take the motherboard out again and just make the connection a few times while the motherboard is out of the case, so that you have all the room you need to get it in. Sometimes their just very tight, keep at it and you will get it in! Hope that helps, Billy!
Thanks
You're welcome Marina
My power supply doesn't have a separate 4 pin connector, just a 20 + 4 pin connector, is it normal?
No! All power supply have to have at least one 4 pin power supply for the CPU it cant function without it! Look again and you will see it!
Kevin Colleran I just realized I was trying to put the cable in the wrong side, sorry
Glad you got it sorted bud!
my mother board has an 8pin and 24pin spots, and my power supply has a 4+20pin cord, which one do i plug it into?
the 4+20pin connector has to go into the 24pin slot. now that 8pin slot is the cpu power slot and your power supply must have one or the pc will not work. ok!
awesome got it, thanks
I JUST INSTALLED MY NEW PSU AND CONNECTED THE 24 PIN AND 4 PIN BUT NO SIGNAL TO MY MONITOR? wHAT AM I MISSING? THANKS
+B Charron If you have a graphics card make sure the monitor is plugged into it! is the system powering up? if it is then the psu is working and the mobo is working it's either the graphics card or the monitor that is causing the problem re-seat everything again, see what happens!
Kevin Colleran all I did was hook up my new psu to my hp slimline once I removed the old one and connect my 24 pin, 4 pin and connector to the hardrive. where does a monitor connect to a video/graphics card? I just connected the monitor to the back of the tower with the 2 screws on the side. maybe this is old style monitor connector. this computer if 5 years old. so in total I connect three connectors from my psu to my pc. I see other connectors. maybe they have to be connected somewhere?
Kevin Colleran I read also that I may need to jump my mobo
Kevin Colleran here is the latest. I jumped my mobo, re-installed my psu, I left the cover off this time when I powered it up, and noticed the fan on the brand new psu is not working. maybe I have a connector for it that needs to be connected?
+B Charron Make sure the power switch on the PSU is on, I actually had that issue today (I was tired and the switch was hidden lol!).
My mobi only has a 4 bit connecter
thanks
glad to help!
Can someone answer me pls...
If you connect the switches to the PC does it start up? I'm very confused because after I plugged the plugs on the motherboard it won't work and there are still many plugs
Same problem did u get it to work?
My power supply has two 4 pin connectors which will power the processor?!
Hi, you can use either one the two are for the cpu! if your cpu has turbo power the there will be a 8 pin connector beside the cpu and you plug in both 4 pin connectors
I'm stuck connecting this: 1:28 from 1 hour... why it doesnt connect to me, even if i'm in the right side?? :(
Dany Tremila Hi Danny, some for these connectors can be very very tight so you may have it connected but not fully seated in the connector try moveing it from side to side to loosen some of then connectors it's worth a try! if that will not work for you it may be that the connectors are not lining up correctly maybe a bent pin in the motherboard connector or the power supply 24 pin connecter may be bent or not lining up, check all that and if that will not help then you may need to get an other power supply1 Some times it's just a bad power supply or motherboard connector! Hope that helps!
Hii kevin
Where are you from
My 4pin was need to repair help. Me how to repair
Turn off the music while you are talking
I have a 4 pin connector but there is no 4 pin socket the motherboard. HELP!!
there is ! somewhere near the cpu socket!
When i plug in the 4 pin connector my pc shutts off same moment, can you please help me
and my cpu fan doesnt spin, does that mean I need to change fan or its something wrong with motherboard
AZOR AHAI make sure all connector s are plugged in including the fan for cpu okay then try again!
Kevin Colleran could that shut off be coused by dead cpu fan, thank you for reply
AZOR AHAI yes I could but it can be caused by any component on the system so check everything first make sure everything is plugged in correctly first before you start replacing anything! Okay!
Kevin Colleran I have check everything, still fan not spinning, cant plug in the 4 pin connector that goes from the psu, the same moment pc shuts off
i only have one square connector :/
My motherboard only have 4 pin and 6 pin
ElMenor RD in relation to what all mobo have 4 and 6 pin connectors!
but if i want to buy a new power supply andthe power supply only have the 4 pin can i run my pc with a graphic card ?
So all mobo have the 4 pin?
all mobo have a 4 pin power connection and most of the higher end mobo have an 8 pin connection for extra power when needed! ok!
Bro my 4 pin cable is burn out
now take it out...
There’s a pin labelled ‘p5’ where does it go😂
i am the newest comment. dont ruin this.
thx for the video but now I have to figure out why my fans start and stop repeatedly.
+Andrew Stahl all fans connected to the motherboard will start and stop repeatedly by default as the motherboard heats up and cools down this is normal behavior for fans on a motherboard they don't need to on continuously! OK!
+Kevin Colleran yea, but then my system doesn't boot
+Kevin Colleran I guess I only noticed my fans on constantly when I was using my cpu heavily.
yes, that would be about right!
Kevin Colleran ok thank you! Now I have to get input from my graphics card lol
my pay only came with 2 2pin connectors not a 4pin, what do I do
read the manual that came with it and you will find out what to do with it! it's the only way for you to figure it out. ok
Kevin do you have instagram I need some help?
sorry Keiron, just don't have the time this week!
