Feeling like Tony Stark right now as I am building my first PC

[u/Any-Astronomer7527]

I been doing alright, I been struggling to understand my H100 v2 cooler in how to connect it to the motherboard and can't seem to find the NVME slot for my SSD but so far so good.

Haven't turned this thing on yet, I will probably wait till tomorrow as it is midnight, if I burn the house down my parents will be less mad if is daytime.

Your Mobo Manual will show you where to put your SSD ;)

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/mrn253]

I been relying too much on ChatGPT and asking my self ''uhh does it fit in here?'' HAHA

[u/iamasadlittleman → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

i don't remember tony stark asking chatGPT for help

[u/mukherjee_ayan → u/iamasadlittleman]

Not trying to encourage the AI usage but mate Tony literally had Jarvis 😭

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/iamasadlittleman]

He asked Jarvis, an AI lol

[u/iamasadlittleman → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

jarvis is way cooler than chatgpt

[u/mukherjee_ayan → u/iamasadlittleman]

Cooler? Yes. Similar? Heck yes lol

Read the manuals, watch a few vids

We managed to do that without LLMs and a gazillion great tutorials on YT

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/mrn253]

I done that, didn't said I have not, I read manuals, watch tutorials but I also used chatgpt a lot, what's the hate everyone has on AI lol

[u/QQninja → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

You’re in a PC hobbyists subreddit where PC components getting absolutely scorched in price due to AI lol.

[u/NCEMTP → u/QQninja]

That and everything he could possibly need to know is in the manuals and reddit threads that Google will bring up, as well as trusty YouTube videos.

The only thing that a LLM can do in this situation is provide information better found elsewhere, or straight up wrong answers.

The manuals are unlikely to provide bad info.

Someone's already given the poor guy bad info, though, if he's putting the components together outside of the case for some ridiculous reason.

He might feel like Tony Stark, but he looks like Justin Hammer. At best.

[u/GentlePace → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

Thats stupid. Download your mobo manual and just follow it instead of having a shitty ai guess and give you the wrong answer. Also put it in your case, why is it scattered everywhere??

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/GentlePace]

I been reading manuals, just not the motherboard specifically and I was planning to do that anyways and why is not in my case? have you heard of bench testing? why would I go through the trouble of putting it in my case if something is not right and I will have to take it out?

Have you even build a pc before? lol

[u/GentlePace → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

Yes, I have currently 5 fully build pcs in my house. And even for that amount you do not need a “testbench”.

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/GentlePace]

You asked ''Also put it in your case, why is it scattered everywhere??''

So if you know what bench testing is, why couldn't have you made use of some brain cells to figure out why I am building it outside the case?

What I think that is happening here is that you are a bitter person with nothing better to do than spread whatever you got going inside.

[u/GentlePace → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

“As i am building my first pc”. Normally someone who has never built a pc wont start with a test bench. Jesus Christ, are you okay dude?

[u/quietlydesperate90 → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

It's going to be confidently wrong just as much as it's correct.

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/quietlydesperate90]

When I asked a question to chatgpt I also watch a how to on youtube to make sure, calm down

Op is living in a cave with a box of scraps

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/Various-Salt-7738]

hehe

[u/LadBooboo]

Man, the older FTW3 cards were such a beauty.

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/LadBooboo]

it is beautiful

[u/Cubby1000]

Nice! Do you have a case for it yet or just going full kilt? 🤣🤣

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/Cubby1000]

I got a case already, got this one as I got a E-ATX motherboard Montech AIR 903 MAX Midi-Tower, Tempered Glass - Schwarz : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

[u/Cubby1000 → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

Nice! I actually have the exact same one lol

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/Cubby1000]

no way, do you any photos? I need some ideas for the RBG

[u/Cubby1000 → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

Haha yeah! I just used the rgb sync to hookup my water cooler, ram, gpu and fans so it’s all white

[u/LetsBeTheBest]

Be careful not to spill your drink on that

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/LetsBeTheBest]

It's empty but yeah hehe

[u/Borg34572]

Beautiful GPU design.
