Your video is so damn good man. The only person on YT who fully explains things and shows every cable and component in detail with examples. Every other video I've tried searching for barely has the camera to show anything significant and moves everything around too fast and then doesn't explain anything significant. I'm totally glazing, but I'm very impressed with this video!!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks. I try to balance being detailed without being patronising. It's a hard balance 😂

[@robertslayman360]

Been fumbling around with cables in my first build for near two hours until stumbling across this video. Especially with the CPU mobo plugs, as there aren't any written instructions. You're a life saver.

my friend from over the pond! so happy to be here early- built my pc just about 3 days ago and your breakdowns saved me. you had just about every piece and bit I got, and I had ordered before knowing your channel. Thank you so much for what you do! It was my first build (8 year upgrade, had help the first time) and took me 14 hours but I think he's handsome as hell kit and all. I'd love to send videos if you want to see directly how helpful your videos/pictures are!

Very helpful video, thank you! I noticed one thing that caught my attention: the AIO is positioned lower than your CPU, which can cause air bubbles to form around the CPU and put more stress on the pump. It's better to position the radiator above the CPU. The tubes should go up not down

Thank you The Provoked Prawn for NOT being a sidewalk Wacky Waving Arm Flailing Tube Man jacked on caffeine and speed explaining this very important component needed in a computer build.

I thought the melting problem was from people using the adapter included with the GPU instead of just buying a new PSU. I have always said if you need the adapter provided, then don't buy it until you have the psu or whatever needed to make that adapter pointless. Though great help, I was wondering why they call it a 16 pin connector when there is only 12 pins on the gpu

[@Shalashaska111]

Can you confirm that the 12VHPWR cable can carry the full 600 watts for an RTX 4090?

@@3ALM3GEB Yes. It can. If you are looking at this PSU, i would recommend the Corsair RMX series instead. A bit more money, but much better quality. I had the RME for a month but returned it, has a very noisy ball bearing fan.

Could not have uploaded this at a better time, I finished my first build yesterday (still waiting on gpu to arrive) and I couldn’t find anything helpful online for Corsair PSUs and I got the hx1200. I was worried about whether or not I put the cables into the psu correctly and this video shows me that I did If you haven’t already I would HIGHLY recommend a video on a Corsair HX1000 or HX1200 platinum because the plugs are in 3 rows instead of 2 like most of the PSUs that I’ve seen and I think it would be appreciated because I have seen tons of people asking similar questions to what I had when I was trying to figure out how to properly connect the cables to it.

[@caiocaio27]

Hello my friend, thanks for giving us this amazing presentation of this component! If u can help me with a doubt, I bought recently one (Asus TUF Gaming, 1000W, 80 Plus Gold, PCIe 5.0, ATX 3.0), its gonna take almost 20 days to arrive, I really dont wanna wait all this and seeing the Corsair RM1000e PSU which is an option for me to get and its gonna take only 5 days to arrive. So my question for you is, comparing both, am I losing something or not really ? The price of the ASUS TUF that I bought is like 25% cheaper than the Corsair.

[@swordsinger1061]

Have you found the fan to be loud? Mine is a bit loud, reminds me of how fridges sound, or even a hard drive. It may be because mine is mounted at the front of my pc, I could try flipping it to perhaps in my Jonsbo d41.

I have a gpu with 3 8 pin connectors needed. Should I connect 1 normal pcie and 1 "pig tail" connector? Or should I connect 2 normal pcie cables and 1 pig tail connector but leave half of it unused?

[@kennethvong5343]

Did u ever figure this out?

[@FantasticKruH]

@@kennethvong5343 I did some searching and using only 2 (1 + 1 cable with a pigtail) could limit the max power of the gpu. So if you want to make sure you get 100% power use 3 cables for the 3 connections. Although from my understanding its not a huge performance difference. I ended up using 3 cables 2 normal and one pig tail connector and just left the tail hanging near the gpu.

I asked Corsair for you :) "Ok, so RMx is bigger, has a larger fan (132mm vs 120mm), comes with a ten year warranty (instead of 7), and supports SLI cards with the included cables out of the box. RMe is ATX 3.0 certified already, however the RMx line (to my knowledge) meets the spec, but just hasn't been certified by Intel yet."

Warning! AVOID the RMe series folks, they're known for having loud fan noise & coilwhine despite them marketing them as ''quiet''. i have had three of them a while ago (RMA'd them twice) and they all had the same problem, they were even BRAND NEW. Dont let the affordable price fool you, whetever its on sale or not. If you want to have a good reliable PSU from Corsair, go for the more expensive (sadly) RMx series and NOT NOT NOT RMe!!

Hey would it be possible to see a sound comparison between RM 1000e vs 850x if you’ve got any lying around. Just wondering if the 100$ extra is worth for (silent)

[@Garrett1974]

Let me help you right here... I replaced the fan in my RM1000e because it has horrible whirring... it's driving me insane, especially since it speeds up, stops, speeds up, stops etc etc, every 2 minutes or so. I don't care about warranty since I have a couple PSU's laying around (honestly I do) but man what a disaster... and it has coil whine, not super loud, but loud enough to be noticable from 1 foot or less. In short: Get the RM850x if you care about silence and enough wattage, even with a 4090 it should be okay.
