Oh my god.
My motherboard has a 4-pin power connector, but the PSU has an 8-pin connector. The very last thing I plug in, and it doesn’t fit. I thought for sure I was fucked.
Nope. Turns out it’s an actually two separate 4-pin connectors that you can split apart. I want to strangle someone at Corsair.
^ Bahah that happened to my brother when he was putting together his machine last. I asked my dad about it and he starts showing me why and he pulls it apart by accident.
“Oh, well that’s new,” he says with a smirk on his face. Saved him another trip to Microcenter for an adapter.
Some experiences I had when trying to boot my first full PC build a few years ago:
Why isn’t it booting? Oh, I plugged a 4-pin PCI-E power connector into the motherboard CPU power socket. Oops. :retard:
Okay, got it booting, Windows and drivers installed fine, let’s try a game…
colourful flickering mess
:fffuuu:
Some time later I noticed I had connected the SLI cable the wrong way around. The only indication of the right way to install it was an arrow (drawn on with permanent marker) on the bottom side of the ribbon…
Hah. The biggest issues I had:
The motherboard wouldn’t line up right with the I/O shield and therefore didn’t fit at all. I spent about an hour on it until I realized I just needed to tighten the standoffs.
After everything was said and done, the cover wouldn’t fit back on because of all the wires I’d routed through the back. I had to unplug and reroute the 24-pin power cord.
The keyboard keeps resetting itself to fucking dvorak, including during installation.
And this desk is too small for the case and all the peripherals. Among other things, the HDD LED is blinking right in my eye.
Fucking tram, fucking summer heat, fucking rush hour commute. Fucking air conditioning, fucking install it!
I hate when they don’t put the title of the movie on the spines of alternative cover arts from Blu Ray movies. Sure the cover art is better and not infested with marketing crap but what’s the point of using it if you can’t read the titles right away when looking for movies in your shelf? Most people don’t display the cases with the front cover showing up, it’s such a stupid decision.
Look at this:
Can you tell which movies are those?
Trying to play an online game when my roommate’s computer begins updating his hundred Steam games for the zillionth time.
It’s like trying to prone-float with your lungs full of mucus.
Stop downloading porn and you’ll be fine. 
you can stop downloading porn but you can’t stop downloading steam updates, at least not even remotely as easily as on the old version before the UI redesign
Remember when there was actually a Downloads window you could access directly? Those were the days…
That ain’t a window though. A tab, yeah, but not a window.
more like that’s chrome and not steam
The downloads window in Steam is still there. Just click on the progress bar at the bottom.
:facepalm:
Here’s an abbreviated list of the clicks I make to find Steam’s Downloads tab.
Note: “Downloads” used to be its own window, accessible by the systray context menu.
What’s so hard about clicking the bottom center. Look! I cut the number of steps in half with little to no effort at all! /sarcasm
What’s wrong is that before you could right click on the game and press stop updating, without leaving the games menu, now you have to go to Steam’s “Download Manager” and click stop updating as many times as the number of games that you don’t need updating and you have to use the scroll feature when you reach the end of the screen, so you can’t just stop all updates you don’t want with keyboard shortcuts like before.
Yeah, why the hell did they change that? That was so convenient. I miss that.
uh you can still right click the game and click stop updating, they never removed taht.
