Hi friend! It seems you've found 4chan's technology board! You made a few mistakes though, and I'm here to help out! :D

Boards other than /b/ have rules, as well as the global rules! Two important rules you might have missed are global rules six and three!

3. You will not post any of the following outside of /b/: Trolls, flames, racism, off-topic replies, uncalled for catchphrases, macro image replies, indecipherable text (example: "lol u tk him 2da bar|?"), anthropomorphic ("furry") or grotesque ("guro") images, post number GETs ("dubs"), or loli/shota pornography.

6. The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.

It's okay friend, we all make mistakes!

I wonder why it hasn't gotten a redesign. Pretty much every other connection has, and it takes up quite a bit of space on the board as is.

Why can't we deliver ALL power to motherboard so it powers disks and gpu through slots and ports?

>>60634060

It's like with the "P4" connector

>makemorepins.jpg

>>60634067
My guess is EMI and attempting to isolate it. Seems kind of pointless from a modular standpoint as well since you'd have to get an entirely new motherboard if you needed more ports for power, unless there's a new standard created for power expansion cards to allow it.

>>60634050
came itt to post this. fuck those.

>>60634050
Serious question: Why don't those tiny things have a standardized layout? I have 3 motherboards and they all have different layouts. One of them is especially retarded because the labeling on the motherboard and the layout on the manual which is different are both wrong and I have to keep plugging them in to random spots to figure out the layout.

>>60633913

To be fair, the whole ATX standard could need a refresh. It's embarasing.

Because computers are not supposed to be about meme aesthetics and RGB. The power supply is built to do its job.

>>60633913
This is reason why I can never change motherboard without breaking it,fucking thing stays there until you cut it with axe.

>>60634067
Because then we get hassles like the initial RX480 rollout where people's PCIe ports were fried by too much juice being jacked through them.

>>60634425
You need a firm connection. With the high currents drawn, any resistance due to poor contact will generate heat and the connector will fail. Murphy's Law says that heat will cause the connection to get worse rather than better so it will be a thermal runaway. Both connectors (male and female) will be damaged and with them the motherboard.
The other option is a "Zero-Force" connection, which is expensive.
Bulk up, weakling.

My case came with black cables for power, led, etc. and I don't use the USB 2.0 header, but shouldn't you be able to spray paint with Plasti Dip as long as you cover the port? I haven't done it personally but I've seen some people painting t the 24 pin.

>>60634633
I never reccomend to spray shit inside of house with cheap paint
Especially something close to your 100C overclocked cpu and card.

If you wanna do it,at least invest about 50$ for proper paint.

>>60634470
Thankfully these are pretty much dead by now. My case still has one of those, where a single one feeds all the case fans, but my god, are these fucking shit.

>>60634470
But molex is actually nicer.

The socket offers far more guidance (really pretty easy to plug in blindly) and there are no two-segment cunt design variants with cable and plastic parts that are more designed to misalign the two parts than to allow them to be plugged in.

>>60634659
Good thing I underclock and have a rx460 only gaymes I play are most so that's good enough. Anyways what paint do you recommend? I'm not a painter or anything so not sure. Think car or engine paint would work?

ATX connectors are well designed, if you're "hating" on them I can't imagine why.

They have tonnes of overhead, connect securely yet easily, are cheap to produce and easy to repair should the need arise while also being solidly robust.

The USB port itself can be in three positions. It can have the plastic part on top, or on the bottom. More commonly though, it remains in the so called "superposition", with the plastic part blocking both methods of entry, only settling on a more conventional position once observed. This is the reason why plugging in a USB device usually requires a minimum of three attempts before it is successful.

>>60635981
This is a normie meme that it's hard to plug in. Just look at your usb and make sure the empty holes are facing towards you.

It's the only PSU I've ever used that has had that tight of a connector no matter what motherboard it was used on. All the other PSUs I've installed over the years has been fine and slipped in quite easily.
I would like to still see a better connector than the 24-pin, its still mostly around because there is no bother to make anything better and then there is legacy reasons.

The point is the amount of pressure/tension you are forced to apply to the board in order to connect/remove the stupid connector, not to mention what an annoyance it can be to apply that force at awkward angles that can come with PC building in some cases. Stop being an egoist.
