My favorite computer repair channel. You don't rub our noses in how many years you've been a tech like the clown from Arizona repeatedly does. You are simple and straightforward and this is so appreciated. Good video!
Carey Holzman???? like his videos but yes he does go on a little on how hes been in the business ??
@@gerydblackmore5484 indeed, love Carey, been watching him for years but yes he can be annoying.
Done watching, thank you very much for the detailed tutorial about cabling. I have learned significantly more troubleshooting & repair lessons in this tutorial video and to your other repair videos as well compared to my ENTIRE 4 YEARS OF COLLEGE EDUCATION. I hope you will soon have a mini-series for Schematic & Boardview-free Voltage/Power Rail Tracing[12V/18-20V Main Voltage Rail, 5V, 3.3V, CPU/GPU Core Voltage Rail, DRAM Voltage Rail, IGPU Voltage Rail, System Agent/Northbridge Voltage Rail, PCH Voltage Rail, BIOS Voltage Rail, Battery Power Rail], Proper method of testing/checking of potentially faulty MOSFETs & ICs/Controller Chips, CPU/GPU/PCH Reballing and BIOS Bin File Editing.
this deserved to have a before and after of this in the thumbnail! It looks good at the end, but then if you skip back to the start and look again.... what a difference!
I found that getting a cat is the best thing for cable management. He's made everything I own wireless.
Wow, thats so simple yet so so clean. Kinda make me want to fix my cabling although we both know I'm not about to do that.
Great video as always Graham.
You should really try it. Proper cabling is highly underrated. You will acquire a sense of pride and purpose are having properly tidying up your cabling rat's nest.
WOW that was a mess prior to you getting it sorted, Great Job Graham!!!!
Nice tidy cable job you did there Graham that comes with years of experience 👍
no one shows this stuff. Thanks dude
Excellent tutorial. Good explanation and thank you for being so thorough and understanding to the needs of those who are learning and needs that guidance. Keep up the good work. You are definitely one of the best in teaching.
Excellent fan and cabling tutorial. The RGB fans with 2-wires is a pain especially when you filled-up the case. My preference is to put the radiator on the top of the case with a push configuration and the front with pull configuration. I try to match up the number of fans in and out. So if I'm going to have one exhausting the rear then I'll add one at the very bottom pulling from the floor of the case. Yes, I've run tests and that's the most ideal if not for temperatures alone but for the amount of dust over months .. you only want to pull air in from areas that have filtering. You have to keep in mind that hot air rises and the coolest air is closest to the floor / bottom of the case.
You can also design a simple bracket for mounting the rgb controller to the 2.5 drive mount points and print with your new 3d printer. :)
Working on an absolute nightmare now, 9 Corsair RGB fans controlled by 2 RGB hubs + the hub for the hubs + the AIO pump cables + ATX Strimer + 12VHPWR Strimer in a Dynamic Evo, and my brain is going to explode.
It is A LOT OF CABLE.
Great crash course! Also, really liked the graphics you added. Very easy to understand 👍
Awesome video, great explanation and nice cable pron.
RGB/Fan cabling is most definitely one the most tedious and arduous thngs to deal with when building.
In previous videos you have done regading wiring in general, I picked up on the routing of the HD Audio cable and started doing that myself.
That helps with the main loom of wiring as pointed out, but also alleviates having the excess of that wire bunched up at the bottom, if routed the usual way.
Great video explaining alot of the usual pains of dealing with this sort of things.
I wish Corsair made those fan/rgb controllers magnetic. Silverstone has done that before. I just did a build recently using the same controller as in this video. I was thinking of epoxying some magnets but I just ended up using good old double sided tape. I totally agree that a mount to the 2.5" brackets would be great too. If only a screw hole/mount was there. Of course 3d printer owners have an opportunity there.
Nice, for extra points stick the fan cable groups into some lenghts of self tightening cable braid and cabletie the ends 😊. To be fair i already had it to hand but it looks nice and let me hide the extra length
Very good tutorial on how to cable manage multiple RGB fans, personally I don't like lots of RGB fans in my PC for this reason as the wiring is a nightmare but it does look great when done properly.
The reason Corsair never designed the Commander pro to mount on the 2.5" SSD bays is because not every case has those and also because they include 3M double sided pads which the customer never used obviously and never gave you., also the extra room needed for plugging in the fan cables.
I like to lay the fan cables flat to each other and face the cables the same way, normally keeping the pwm and rgb cables alternate by fans, laying flat against each other, then if bending them, cable tie them a bit slack so they can slide, put the bend in then tighten the ties to keep that bend there. Then towards the end I split the rgbs and pwms into two groups, keeping them laying neat and flat and run them to the various fan ports on the controller. Again, I do the same for the bend but make sure they slot in equally before tightening the ties. Any extra cable is moved to the middle and folded back on itself to keep things tidy, yes this can add time to the build but it looks better and more organised than just scrunching up the fan cables.
Declassified Systems takes cable management to a whole other level.
great job! 👍🏻
Looks great nice one.
I really love my new Corsair link QX fans no cable spagetti jungle with those anymore. 😁 And btw the new link controller is small and magnetic you can stick it anywhere. 🙂
Beautiful. Personally I make an effort to route and hide the cables but I can't be bothered to use cable ties.
love this as alot of ppl..cable magement is not my thing but watching you i feel i might have another bash at it!
perfect application to 3-d print a little bracket with four holes and you could bond it to the bracket with epoxy.
But then it's not removable, just 3D print a bracket that screw's in place, and use velcro to stick the controller in place.
@@TheRonskiman 3d print a bracket that clips to the controller
sweet ive got basically same setup your video well help
in loads of ways head ache gone lol
Nice job, if I got the notification on Friday/Saturday probably would be doing this to my PC, now I am gonna forget about it :D It's not as bad as the one on the video, but the back of the case is a hellish nightmare and any upgrades are a pain in the back.
a job well done.
Got that case a few month ago for 50$ almost new from a guy that moved abroad for work, also got that fan
gb hub, it's called Commander pro, been using it for years and I love it and the icue software.
I don't like rgb so not using that part but for fan control it's probably the best software, yes I know about Fan control the free software and tried it, in some aspects it is better than icue but icue is much more user friendly and has the dashboard with all the sensors very conveniently arranged.
You can control every fan individually for all the 6 connector but if you daisy chain a few fans on 1 connector icue will see it as 1 fan, I'm using 6 fans connected to individual connector so have individual control over all the fans, got custom curves on all fans, some tied to the CPU and others to the GPU, I don't use the 2 top fan spots and (got 1 fan right over the CPU cooler as auxiliary pulling fresh air in for the CPU but after testing I saw that it didn't make any difference in temps so turned it off, got 2 fans (only a 12" and 14" unlike your 18" Torrent fans) sitting on the power supply cover at an angle of about 30° cooling the GPU and with the fans on the GPU stopped the GPU temps are only 8-10c above ambient.
Managed to stuff two 14" and one 12" in the front, 2 on the power supply and 1 at the top connected to the hub, the back fan doesn't do much anyway so connected to the mobo and set minimum RPM, the 2 CPU fans are connected to the mobo and set to custom curve.
This is not my Ideal build but it's good enough for now.
My ideal build was going to be the Fractal Torrent, I also love that case and was about to buy it when I saw a review of the Thermaltake CTE 750 and fell in love with that case, unfortunately it is still not available in my country and I'm not willing to pay 350$ to import it so compromised for the 4000d for now.
The only rgb in my rig is the mobo post display showing the CPU temp and the Radeon logo on the GPU.
Not the most aesthetic cables in the back, but the utility can't be denied. Hopefully there would be a charge for that level of cable management for a non-video "update/upgrade".
I can't believe someone would do that, I'm surprised that none of the fan/argb cables went into the fans on the gpu
My first thought too. That there was no way that couldn't have already happened.
Nice! Maybe I should set you loose on the horror of my little Mini-ITX sandwich next time we're at the same event :D
ooooh nooo ITX is mega-hard mode 😅
good stuff
The tube orientation is almost as bad as thermal paste application these days. At least with thermal paste application there are a lot of variables, but with an AIO there aren't. It really is that simple... as long as the pump is not the highest point it's fine.
I would put the controller vertically. Looks nice
I have 2x10 port fan headers in my PC powering 13 RGB Fans (7 plugged into one and 6 on the other.
There is a spaghetti mess of wires is squished behind the right side cover.
Its better than what they did with my electrics. 😱
And why does it blow to the label (the X that hold the middle of the fan)? Because if you obstructs the air in, it can't put out more than it get in. So, the suck in side should always be as big as possible. That is why you always blow through a radiator and not sucking.
14:30 Yes it matter. Put your palm against the side the fan suck, and you will hear it spin up and that happens when it can't get enough of air. Same thing happens if you put the radiator against the fan. It can't suck enough air thought it.
Now try putting your palm on the exhaust side, and the same thing will happen 👌
Can you 3d print a bracket for the corsair controller to fit the drive bay? Would be nice
Guys, I want to ask, what should I pay attention to if I travel abroad
Cracking job as usual, Graham. One question: you mentioned a couple of times the extended time required for proper cable management. There are now fans which clip together, reducing cables from 6 to 2. Do they make sufficiently better sense to you as a system builder that they affect your recommendations and installation charge?
Let's see you handle desktop cabling next! :)
Two observations on the video:
The front audio cable: more important than neatness, routing it around the board rather than across can reduce the electrical noise induced (depends upon the cable). Generally you wouldn't want it alongside the EPS cable but otherwise it gets interference from crossing the GPU and motherboard cables so it's swings and roundabouts and it's still better than going across the board.
That fan / RGB controller: was there sufficient cable length to put in the unused bottom drive tray?
Check out the new Corsair Link products. Spaghetti a bye bye.
Wire ties around the motherboard, gpu wow. Some people realy hate their computers!
Have any of the cables interfered with the cooling fans? Have the "spaghetti" of the cables in any way obstructed the airflow? If not, where's the problem?
Hi Graham. Thanks for all the videos you do. What kind of adhesive do you use on a iMac screens after a hard drive replacement. I keep reading stories about them falling off after a customer picks it up etc. I have steered clear of doing them for that reason. But future me wants that to change.
I've always used the cheap adhesive strips. Never ever had problems. My theory is that people don't remove the old tape before putting new stuff on, which is why they have problems.
I built my first PC in February and I can say the RGB was the hardest mind twisting part 😅
Congratulations, it's a great feeling isn't it?
@@jaycarrUK It is pretty amazing when it finally boots. I had a DRAM light error at first so I reseated the ram a few times and it eventually worked. it's been flawless since then though 😄
I want a new case and AIO cooler so I’ll be there
Rgb is something
I don't know where else to ask this but I am desperate.
Has anyone encountered a problem where your machine will say it has ethernet connection to the internet and you can even use the browser to access the internet download large files and yet none of your other applications can see an internet connection including core functions like windows update and even to sign into your microsoft account? I have even done a clean install and its still doing it. Do I have to buy a whole new computer?
Argb and no cable tidy attempt that's not good - I was not a fan of argy-bar-gey, purely from a cable management stand point, but after owning the very same 4000d I am a convert, 4x Argb fan, 1x strip & cx-frgb psu so I feel the nesting. Since the 5000 series upgrade, the only bit of rgb I don't get is RAM, I went for Fury B non-rgb, My build still looks super sweet...👍🙏
RGB doesn't make it faster. 😂
@@TheSpotify95 go for it after I've put some RGB stripes in my pc, it is 2x faster.
😂
Corsair fans are a nightmare. I have nine QL120's, two hubs and two nodes. It is all a nightmare to cable manage. Thankfully, the 011 dynamic has plenty of room in the back.
Exactly the scenario I was thinking about when I mentioned Corsair having hubs with too many modules! The fact that each hub and node requires a SATA power connector is nuts...
@@Adamant_IT It really is Graham. Because the QL variant has led's on both corona's and both hubs, you need a hub for three fans, and not six. So that is three Hubs. I have two hubs on one node, and one on the other. And that's just for the RGB. All nine fans have a separate PWM cable as you know, which all have to go to a separate PWM hub, and I have to admit, the first install attempt, was aborted, while I wondered "do I really want to do this"
yea, that whole setup was a matter of "no corsair... find a better solution to this." Sata power connector is good for 75w, there's no way you need multiple modules to handle that power. One theory is to account for high fan counts like yours, where it might not be practical for all wires to conjoin in a single location, but eeeh... I'm sure there's a better way.
I find it strange the way you have computer's when working on them ? why don't you have the PSU at the bottom?? it would look better to the viewer of the vid imo🙃
Usually because it gives me the best access into the case, I'm not immediately having to lean over the PSU enclosure... Force of habit I guess!
Brilliant video of a completely pointless activity. IT'S A BOX TO DO A JOB!! Do you wrap your TV and "Skybox" etc in fairy lights, of course you don't!! Just proves that RGB in pointless 😢
most simple fix is dont use stupid pointless rgb.
Now I have heard everything. You class a computer as an RGB Computer because it has a useless RGB light in the fan? Close the case and worry about the performance of the actual computer not the nice colours of the fan.
Sounds like a lot of Computer users need to grow up.
apart from the time you had to talk, which was almost the entire video!!..............it doesn't take all that time to do what you did, don't exaggerate ok?!!!
