basically all parts for my new PC except the case and SSD have come in so I could bench test it... but I've had kind of a bad day so if it doesn't work I might cry

I didn't realise this cooler would be so fucking big

this case is also bigger than I was expecting! maybe I should've taken measurements lol

Alright I've matched up all the cables from the case to the motherboard except this one. What the fuck is this. It looks like it'd charge the phone I had in 2003

The SSD and another fan should come in tomorrow & then I can install an OS and start using it...

I mentioned before but I haven't bought a GPU at this point, I'm going to try it and see how well the integrated one works for general purposes. If it's usable then I'll defer that expense for a bit

@lion that looks fake I think they put it in there to trick you

@lion that's a male SATA power connector. Generally it's for things like adapting SATA power into Molex or things like that.

@kevin @endrift yeah I found out that's what it was eventually. It has RGB fans on the front with some kind of built in controller & I guess it's for powering that. At least I connected it to the PSU and it all worked and nothing exploded

@kevin @lion oh yeah I had something like that in my case too. I think it was for a fan controller.
