DeFrisselle ☑️<p>My nephew is building a new PC, and one little detail is holding it up: the 6+2 PCIe connector bumps out too much and hits a small lip on the back plate So, the connector can't sit tight and flush nor lock-in </p><p>Does anyone know of good quality compatible cables that have a straight 8-pin connector or no long locking seam for the 6+2 <br>One option would be to snip out the little bit that's holding up on that lip </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PCMR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCMR</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ComputerBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PCBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PCBuild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCBuild</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PSU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PSU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/GPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GPU</span></a></p>

Code of Amor 💘<p>After roughly 3 months of RA (warranty) back and forth, today I may actually end up with a decent computer once more.

S.T. Veje<p>I'm building my own gaming PC (a new experience for me), but because my budget is tight (and I'm impatient) I've been buying the parts a few at a time. I should now have everything I need except the graphics card, so in theory I could build the PC and use it without a GPU until I scrape enough money together for that ... but is that advisable? Is it a pain in the ass to add the graphics card later, or does it not make any big difference?</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PCBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PC</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GamingPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GamingPC</span></a></p>
