I Got 24 Problems But a ***** Ain't One

[Wiglaf]

I just connected all the phans to any power supply cord that would take them. Is this way of connecting the fans going to be a potential hazard?

I do not want to be the one to have to turn this thing on.

Obviously Washington did it but she had no way of knowing that because I used Axe body spray (I know I know) to make the blood trail smell like Urban Fusion or something. I blamed the African American Garbage man, playing on her racial hatred, and she quickly went after him

Surely not.

Connecting the fans to the MB may allow for you to view the speed they are turning in bios/software. I usually use the MB connectors first if they're handy. Mostly because it's a bit less clutter in the case that way.

I connect mine to the PSU, but it don't matter

Laz was talking about your penis. We all were.

Thoth was talking about your penis too, dear.

Wiglaf, just noticed in your photo you had the 2 sticks of RAM next to each other. Put them in the yellow slots.

I think the photo is not Wiglaf's actual machine, but a good suggestion nonetheless

[Asher]

Good catch.

Thanks But why?

[snoopy369]

Most modern RAM runs faster due to certain optimizations when used in matched pairs (ie, two identical RAM modules), put into the matching slots (ie, both in yellow slots in this case). They alternate them 1-3 2-4 presumably to allow better air circulation if you only have two.

"Dual Channel" is the fancy techword for this, by the way, your RAM should specify this (and your MoBo), but most modern ram will work in this way.

What snoopy said.

[snoopy369]

Feel free to enumerate the optimizations, I really don't know that part at all... just that it is optimized somehow

I presume it must involve some sort of RAID-like memory access (accessing alternate memory modules to increase data flow across the memory pipelines)?

[Wiglaf]

Thanks. Also Do I need to insulate the standoffs on the motherboard. Right now they are 6 brass standoffs screwed down.
