Well, that's the first time I've ever heard the KISS principle explained as "Keep It Simple AND Stupid."

Its "keep it simple stupid" not "keep it simple and stupid"...

Is there any white pcie accessory?

Heads-up on the 180 degree adapters: there have been two cases posted online of those starting fires. Keep an eye on them while using them and make sure you dont take off the protective backing else you'll cause a short. In one of the cases, the person took off the protection.

I will buy them and use; been on my radar for a while now but just wanted to give a warning. One of the posts was on the LTT forums.

please do more of these kind of videos. i really like custom pc components.

That RGB splitter looks super cool, I just got some fans not sure if they already have a hub. But if they don't I'm going to get it for sure

Those 180 degree pci power adapters have a history of melting fyi

Thanks for a rational approach on accessories. I stopped watching the "techie world" video on accessories because all their (so called) cheap accessories were over $100. I'm not a penny pincher, my PC was over $2500, but that doesn't mean I'm eager to shop for $100+ accessories that I'm currently doing just fine without. Good video guys.

You should do a series of pc components that fit in certain places like hardware that fits in a disc drive slot or usb accessories or power supply items etc.

This would have been a better video without the $35 price cap.

This guy talks in slow motion in the beginning

Finally someone who isn't talking about mouse pads and headphone holders

Great information, AIO manufactures might not like this as many are seasoned to go towards the AIO for many reasons. One thing to note is that the Peerless Assassin has standard and SE version, which looks identical specs wise. But there are $cad10 difference at this moment.

Why would any gamer need wifi?

as far as the external hard drive power cable, doesnt those need to be shutdown properly before turning it off?? or does it only apply to NAS? idk if windows manage the shutdown while in the process.

Thanks for the video. But those tiny grand are so dumb. I've used them and they move such little air they are basically useless. I have a ton of them just sitting in a box cuz I thought they were special. But naw.

you're a life saver, I had the fan hub and have been using DC mode all the time and my fans were like jet engine, set it to pwm mode is quiet now, I can have my inner peace now

You have a nice video, but you need to find more rare products. Most of those products are available for long time. Keep up the good work.

For duck sake! STOP shaking items you're showing! Is this some kind of disorder?

Hi Mike, do you have the STL?

Its not God level.

awesome gimmics ;))

Great video and I'm sure many people will find it useful. I always have a sabrent USB to SATA adapter. It's such a useful thing to have if you're around friends and family and you need to fix something on their computer or laptop.

Y'know noctua copied that design from the brand "delta" years ago, they used to be black, they just made them brown. If you want good non commercial (reasonably priced and better quality) fan look at the delta brand. I have a 3A 120x30mm one that quite happily sucks itself across the floor at about 5mph. They're an industrial supplier so no frills and all performance.

Mike, I have a asus b550I mini itx board it has the suroud sound but I dont want to use the fron IO 3.55mm jacks to have the analog audio heads set running accross the front ,I would like to move the front audio headers to the back the board only has one pcie port

I have a 3070 no issues with sag :(

I bought the RGB/PWM fan hub but can't make it to control the fan speed :/

Some cool things I got and am planning on getting for my system, but it's a bit on the more pricey side is
PCIE USB ports, I hate using those USB hubs and it works much better and looks cleaner
PCIE ssd slots since I use a lot of storage but I upgraded my case recently to an enthoo pro 2 so I have more space now
ICYDOCK SSD enclosures, these things look super sick and can fit SSDs cleanly and compactly.

I see itx/sff guys auto-like and sub 💕

Nice! One minor correction: the PS connectors at the start are 180 degrees not 90 degrees as you said. I call these 'Thrust Reversers'. I've also seen them with plastic covers which is a little more professional than the foam tape. I've been looking for the same idea for MB power connectors. Maybe a bit niche since it would only work with an open style MB tray (or one that happened to have a cable access at just the right location), but in the right circumstances it could really neaten up a build! Even thought of designing a PCB and making them myself!

I think your channel discription needs correction.

Nice! I just grabbed a 180-degree 8-pin pack for my new GPU. I had never heard of these! =)

Ngl, I thought the BeQuiet ad was just a bit to showcase them. I didn't even realize it was an ad until the end

An Arduino. You literaly just need an arduino to do all those things.

"PCIe 8-pin + 6-pin 180 Degree" look quite interesting but not for space and clearance issues. My power supply has split 6 and 2 pin connectors and I find that inserting the 2 connectors for each connection to the video card is a huge pain in the posterior. As one gets old it gets hard to see so inserting the 2 pin connector is hard.

Nice Work there Young Sir. Thank You.

The USB to SATA adapter could come in handy provided it adheres to SATA spec. I have a StarTech toaster that can't see new SSDS.

IS THERE A HIGH-QUALITY CD DRIVE THAT IS SOLD FOR A COMPUTER BUILD? .

Great video, lots of stuff I'll be buying. Liked, subscribed.

Another silverstone product that's awesome is the es02-usb

Stop shaking your hands when trying to introduce something you are holding. Otherwise, nice video content.

Dude, that USB 3.1 to Type-C is a life saver, my PC hasn’t got type-c connecter so my type c port will be dead, but I have an open 3.1 port, game changer.
