long ago, in the before times, the power cable was two 12 pin connectors and you could plug them in backwards…
an unknown number of mobos died in those days.
remember, never separate the black cables.

I bought all the parts and then paid a guy to build it for me and before you ask why.
I had the extra money and I was feeling lazy

Your first time trying to install an aio liquid cooker is always a fun time too. I’m sure when I eventually graduate to a custom loop years down the road it’ll be a new level of head ache lol

The most stressful part for me is putting the CPU in, worrying I’ll bend like 20 pins on the mobo and when I DO get it in, as I power it on I prepare for the “No CPU” error code
