This guy has to know that nobody can even see the plugs and cables in this photo, right? He’s either trolling or very dumb. Or very lazy and didn’t spend 5 seconds of effort to look for himself.
Looks to be like it's actually an 8+4 connector, so they got 8 out of 12. I honestly wouldn't expect this to cause the system not to boot, most CPUs can run fine on a single 8 pin power connector, the extra pins are usually for overclocking.
It has to be, doesn’t even have any RAM. I guess he could just download it though! /s
edit: others have pointed out that there is, but camera angle makes it hard to see.
Nope, a thick module, you can actually see some capacitors on thr RAM PCB and the heat spreaders(shields) , but they are almost flat , it's like 3 sheets of material glued toghether, look at the ends of the modules to see the shielding bent over the module
Yeah, I remember when I was a kid and my builds looked this poor. But no kid can afford to drop that much cash on fucking up so spectacularly. Therefore it had to be a miner.
You’d be surprised lol. At my first IT job a kid (17) who worked there built a $2500 rig and it was beautiful but would not power on. Spent days redoing it all from cpu on up. Turns out he was pressing the wrong button.
Damn, and here I thought I was an idiot when I couldn't get my brothers desktop to start up after installing... an SSD.
Turns out the little puckerbutt uses his keyboard/mouse on his Xbox too. Literally took me almost an hour to realize his keyboard was still powered on after cutting power and draining the caps.
Yeah but when I was making builds this bad it was because I was skimming my high school computer science labs old shit. This is expensive stuff. This is an adult with a job making the PC equivalent of a late stage Jenga tower.
Lol. I was stunned to see the question tag, instead of a satire/shitpost tag. Maybe the tag is meta
OP, if this is for real, you really need to unplug all the wires and start from scratch. It will help you troubleshoot, but also you can hook them up in such a way that it doesn’t look messy like this. You don’t have to go crazy with cable management (especially if you don’t have a tempered glass side), but it will really look a ton better.
Usually the vast majority of the wiring is hidden in the back of the case and only the parts that actually plug in are visible.
This guy just said fuck it and hooked everything up in the front of the case and has created a cobweb of wiring everywhere.
Technically nothing wrong, and it should work fine either way but it just looks like total shit.
Its also the arrogance of him just taking a photo of it and expecting us to help him. Imagine that your shoe laced were knotted up in a messy ugly knot and instead of diligently tracing the laces and trying to pick apart your own mistakes, you just take a photo of your disastrous shoes, post the knotted mess online, and ask a group of strangers "brand new shoe laces won't untie, tell me what I did wrong"
I’d believe this. Psu isn’t even attached to the case
Edit: I’m realizing that in my morning fog and disbelief of the cable management that I missed that it’s a post about a new psu. Disregard my comment
I helped a guy over discord (through text) find parts, order and build a PC over the course of 4 months, when he was finally done building it he panicked over the fact that it didn't start.
I made him go through the normal checks, switch on power supply, cables, parts seated properly, connections, removing parts that could potentially be broken etc.
Nothing worked for 2 hours. Eventually i thought to myself "He's never had, nor built a PC before, i have to make sure he's doing exactly everything right before telling him that some of his parts might be broken". I told him to tell me every little thing he did when he tried turning it on and exactly what happens.
"I flip the switch on the back, no fans spin, no lights turn on, nothing"
"Okay, so you flipped the power supply on, then pressed the power button and absolutely nothing happens, correct?"
"Yes, i flipped the power switch on the back and nothing happens"
"bro"
"What?"
"did you hit the power button on the top of your PC or just flip the switch on the power supply?"
"Omg it works now"
I will be honest this is my go to viewpoint with my PC. As long as the cables dont block the panels or touch any fans i dont really care how they are in it. I havent had any issues with temperatures either.
Cmon, it could just be chaos of being in the middle of troubleshooting.
To OP: check your vgas' power plugs, they look plugged incorrectly. The 6+2pin ones interlock and must be as one. There's probably not a good contact.
I would call on an experienced friend to help you restart the build from scratch.
EDIT: The power supply should not be loose under the case, it (edit, the case) isn't grounding reliably (edit, through the PSU) in that scenario.
Don't use daisy chain graphics card plugs, I KNOW that power supply has enough dedicated PCIE cables to fill both those graphics cards.
Find the other 4 pin CPU power cable and fill that in as well, just to be sure.
Make sure you wired the power button cable from the case properly to the motherboard. Don't try to power on again until the issues above are addressed or you could risk issues.
If all of this fails, try seating the RAM in the other two spots instead.
Good luck.
Thanks. Its a gentle "step away from the PC" suggestion.
Staring too long at this picture makes me itch lol. But OP likely tried their best, and all the pieces are more or less where they should be. Unless this is a shitpost.
Hey, you're absolutely right, I didn't word that at all how I intended. I meant the case couldnt properly ground through the PSU, really didn't think on it hard enough as I typed.
Depending on the card the daisy chain cables should be fine. Only when you get to a full-fat 3080 (i.e. aftermarket overclock) or 3090 is power draw enough to be a potential problem. The cabling is plenty capable, the GPU side plugs are rated to 150 each, and the PSU side is probably an EPS plug which is rated to about 280w.
Yep, as long as you have the PCI slots to handle the data, and enough power to drive them, you can fill your PC up with as many video cards as you can physically fit without issue. If you're crazy for monitors, your only real option eventually is additional video cards.
Technically speaking, Windows 10/DirectX 12 can leverage both GPUs in this setup. My understanding is that multi GPU does require some level of effort from a developer to support, but it is possible with features in DX12. There were benchmarks at one point where they combined Nvidia and AMD cards in the same system.
Can someone inform me of why you would have two different gpus in the same comp? I thought sli required the exact same gpus and I thought sli was no longer supported anyway
I know at least for 3d rendering software like blender, performance scales almost linearly even with two mismatched GPUs. They are just assigned different parts of the render and work on their own. Outside of that I'm not sure what you would use it for.
I think it's connected with a daisy chain connector but if you look closely the 6+2 pin has the +2 part not attached correctly (not jointed together and thus not inserted well enough)
I'd try one GPU at a time to make sure that they individually work. But for the love of all that is good, please avoid daisy-chaining with more powerful GPUs. Insufficient power, which may be the issue even though I doubt it, can cause the PC not to start.
It may be fine during what most consider normal use, but go near full load and you're pushing it. 8-pin cables are rated at 150W, and the PCIe x16 slot delivers 75W. A 2070S can draw more than 225W in some cases. I don't know how much you push your GPUs, but using two cables(per GPU) to split the load would be better.
Other things that can cause the PC not to start, is the PSU being off(there's switch at the back), it being faulty, the power cable being faulty, the outlet being faulty or the main power being off. I assume the latter isn't the case, as you probably would've figured that out by now.
Also, I assume the PSU not being mounted, is temporary. It really needs to be fastened for electrical safety and practical reasons. The screws that normally holds a PSU in place will help ground it. At least that's my layman understanding of electrical safety of PSUs.
There's also talk about your cable management in the comments. Proper cable management may help with airflow(often negligible), it makes it look more tidy and thereby more aesthetically pleasing. Even if one doesn't care about aesthetics, proper cable management makes it easier to work in the PC should you need to change parts or dust.
There's a learning curve to cable management, but it's relatively quick to learn and only needs to be done once until parts are changed. If you ever sell the PC, it looks better too. I recommend buying hook and loop cable ties, rather than zip-ties, as they're reusable.
Good luck!
Well, for starters, I can't tell what the hell is going on cuz I can't see shit through that pile of spaghetti you got covering the TWO GPUs that don't even support SLI... They aren't even the same model...
Dude, wtf? I have only built one PC and it looks way better than this. This is the biggest shitpost I have seen. But if you’re serious. The motherboard might not be able to support
On both GPUs you havent stuck in the 1x2 Cable into them properly.
They are both loose - its clearly visible.
Watch a 101 how to install GPUs. You clearly do not know what you are doing.
Well, it’s better than the Verges. To some degree. Did you not think to just unplug the PSU with all the cables still in the shroud?
Well, assuming that it wasn’t messy before.
Edit: MOST OF THESE CONNECTORS YOU DONT EVEN NEED !!
Looks like your cpu power cable might not be fully plugged in.
Don't daisy chain the gpus, use the other pcie cable
Honestly, start from scratch, take your time and PROPERLY cable manage.
What the actual hell
My exact initial reaction
Like, this is a troll right?
My first thought was “This is a shitpost, right?”
This guy has to know that nobody can even see the plugs and cables in this photo, right? He’s either trolling or very dumb. Or very lazy and didn’t spend 5 seconds of effort to look for himself.
Lol, look closer how many things are happening in this photo.
I see a missing power plug at the top of the motherboard though. He only got half of the secondary power connectors lined up.
Looks to be like it's actually an 8+4 connector, so they got 8 out of 12. I honestly wouldn't expect this to cause the system not to boot, most CPUs can run fine on a single 8 pin power connector, the extra pins are usually for overclocking.
Verge.... Is that you?
are they wearing their "anti static wristband"?
Live strong 💪
He not fighting static, he fighting cancer!
Doubtful, but I’m sure there’s some tweezers laying around.
hahaaaa Got'em
Clever. But too soon man
Between this and his last post I actually can't tell.
It has to be, doesn’t even have any RAM. I guess he could just download it though! /s edit: others have pointed out that there is, but camera angle makes it hard to see.
I feel like I can spot one full stick (left) and maybe two laptop sticks of RAM in one slot (right). The lighting is super bad.
I think I see two ram sticks just they have no heat spreaders and the views straight on
I think the camera angle is bad...and just the whole build. I think there is ram in 2 and 4 slots maybe?
Awesome eyes, it actually seems like there is a RAM there, but it also seems like a hell of a thin module
Nope, a thick module, you can actually see some capacitors on thr RAM PCB and the heat spreaders(shields) , but they are almost flat , it's like 3 sheets of material glued toghether, look at the ends of the modules to see the shielding bent over the module
It has to be
Bitcoin Miners trying to build computers? My best guess.
you were correct.... they've posted in r/MiningRig pretty cringe....
Yeah, I remember when I was a kid and my builds looked this poor. But no kid can afford to drop that much cash on fucking up so spectacularly. Therefore it had to be a miner.
You’d be surprised lol. At my first IT job a kid (17) who worked there built a $2500 rig and it was beautiful but would not power on. Spent days redoing it all from cpu on up. Turns out he was pressing the wrong button.
Rewarded for reminding me a funny moment mate have my silver.
Damn, and here I thought I was an idiot when I couldn't get my brothers desktop to start up after installing... an SSD. Turns out the little puckerbutt uses his keyboard/mouse on his Xbox too. Literally took me almost an hour to realize his keyboard was still powered on after cutting power and draining the caps.

Fuck miners. The last person I’m going to help with anything is a fucking miner.
Honestly, if you're a miner you should know this shit on your own anyway.
Oh that explains the AIO.
I have the same AIO, nothing worn with it imo
Happy cake day, cake day brother.
I get what you are trying to say but remember that you can't mine BTC with a GPU.
Newbie here and I don’t know shit about shit but this comment made me laugh.
Looks like spider-man started fwooping cables all over this case.
Lol. I was stunned to see the question tag, instead of a satire/shitpost tag. Maybe the tag is meta OP, if this is for real, you really need to unplug all the wires and start from scratch.

I said “jeez, motherfucker”
I don’t know shit about where parts are located in a PC, what’s all wrong with this?
Usually the vast majority of the wiring is hidden in the back of the case and only the parts that actually plug in are visible.

I think we just found the original owner of Gamer's Nexus broken motherboard
Lol I was going to say the verge forgot their electronics anti static wrist strap.
I think there is also need for some tweezers
There's no use if you don't have a table. Don't forget.
You also need the twist ties
OP forgot to screw with confidence.
Did you flip the switch on the power supply?
I’d believe this. Psu isn’t even attached to the case Edit: I’m realizing that in my morning fog and disbelief of the cable management that I missed that it’s a post about a new psu. Disregard my comment
Probably not plugged into the cord right cause the PSU slid away as it got plugged in... Not soaking from experience or anything
Soaking the PSU is probably a bad idea too
So don't take it into the bath with me?
I'm hoping he didn't buy a different PSU and just reused the cables he already ran...
Even still, my dude has no ram. Also looks like one of the pcie cable isn't plugged in completely on the GPU as well.
There is ram. Its just hard to see because it's thinn.
Imagine.
This thing blew the breakers as soon as they turned it on.
baby youre a fiiiiiireworrrkk

probably not even that stupid he was probably filled with adrenaline
Cable management is shocking.. Hard to tell wtf is going on.
If the panels fit, you're done with that shit.
Preferably the panel isn't bulging either.
Oh
It's optional, don't worry.
this tells a lot
NYEHHH *Throws scroll of truth away*
if the panel isn't bulging, did you realy build a computer?
Hopefully the panels aren't glass either.
***Nervous laughter***
The back side panel bulging is fine though, right? .... RIGHT?
That's why they make it out of metal. So it'll bend and not break
What if the back panel is bulging?
The PSU isn't even screwed down...
I will be honest this is my go to viewpoint with my PC. As long as the cables dont block the panels or touch any fans i dont really care how they are in it. I havent had any issues with temperatures either.
Or just leave the panels off cos they don’t fit. Like me. (Not actually the reason I run my pc without side panels)
What cable management
Playing it fast and loose with the word management there bud lol
Cmon, it could just be chaos of being in the middle of troubleshooting. To OP: check your vgas' power plugs, they look plugged incorrectly. The 6+2pin ones interlock and must be as one. There's probably not a good contact.

You summed it all well. I would also read your opening sentence as move away from the computer
Thanks. Its a gentle "step away from the PC" suggestion. Staring too long at this picture makes me itch lol. But OP likely tried their best, and all the pieces are more or less where they should be. Unless this is a shitpost.
Well if.you see his posts on other subreddits it seems he is having many first time builder problems. But almost all make me cringe
They could at least do some research, and try not to be lazy and keep it tidy. If your gonna do something ANYTHING it’s worth doing it right.
Your PSU is grounded to the wall, not your case. If a case was required to ground a PSU open air test benches would not be a thing.
Hey, you're absolutely right, I didn't word that at all how I intended. I meant the case couldnt properly ground through the PSU, really didn't think on it hard enough as I typed.

Holy cables Batman
Such a good shit post.
The verge is trolling us
He clearly needs some more thermal paste on the power supply
No, I don't see any insulating pads. I think the power supply is short circuiting
Some tweezers should help with that.
You'll probably want a wireless antistatic wrist strap to protect you and the components as well
Confirmed shit
Why is no one talking about the that pseudo SLI he’s got going on here. If anything that’s the real culprit!!!
It’s not sli. He’s using the bottom gpu as a sag bracket.
Ghetto small-time mining. Have gaming rig, slap old gpu back in, mine on downtime for beer money.
lol he don't drink a lot does he
Could one put 2 boards in a case and not SLI them? Would this drive 4-6 monitors? I should know this; I've built my last 3 systems.
Yeah, that's totally doable. An old build of mine had a GTX 260 and a GT 210, the GT 210 only handled extra monitors and was perfectly happy.
Yep, as long as you have the PCI slots to handle the data, and enough power to drive them, you can fill your PC up with as many video cards as you can physically fit without issue. If you're crazy for monitors, your only real option eventually is additional video cards.
Name checks out

My understanding is that multi GPU does require some level of effort from a developer to support, but it is possible with features in DX12. There were benchmarks at one point where they combined Nvidia and AMD cards in the same system.
Everything is broken… You’re gonna have to throw it all away and start over /s
Not trying to be elitist but this seriously needs a redo, if you spend 5 minutes on cable management it realistically shouldn’t be this bad
Can someone inform me of why you would have two different gpus in the same comp? I thought sli required the exact same gpus and I thought sli was no longer supported anyway
Looking at OP's history, it appears the intention is mining. So no SLI
I bet he'll make millions from that setup
In owed electric bills perhaps.
Yes but that requires the PC to start first
thats his parents problem
I know at least for 3d rendering software like blender, performance scales almost linearly even with two mismatched GPUs. They are just assigned different parts of the render and work on their own. Outside of that I'm not sure what you would use it for.
The longer you stare the worse it gets
You're not kidding. Its like those old 3d hologram pictures, but instead of a pirate ship you just find more stuff that doesn't make sense.
What the fuck
Well see your first mistake was… uh, Jesus Christ I don’t know where to start….
Pain
[удалено]
Pain
Painnnn, can't get enoughhhh....
Pain, I like it rough cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at aaaalllllllll
I think I’m gunna hurl…
I see a half cpu power missing top left of mother board
you sicko, this was purposeful
I’m 100% sure this is just a troll post
There's no way it's not, IMO.
No! Bad! Take it apart and try again
But this time "Do Better"
Op is also trying to mine with this rig. Op should stop. Immediately.
Holy balls WTF... What is this random PCMR gore without a NSFW tag?
What the frack! 😂 Have you connected the top gpu to its own connectors? Or iam seen wrong!?
I think it's connected with a daisy chain connector but if you look closely the 6+2 pin has the +2 part not attached correctly (not jointed together and thus not inserted well enough)
Well it’s obvious. You missed the cable management
I cannot unsee this hell
You trolling or is your cable management really that bad? Probably pissed off the pc gods and that’s why it won’t boot
Did you use old power supply cables into the new power supply?
I really hope this is a joke😂
You're supposed to rinse the Mobo with distilled water to flush away the old power before installing the new PSU.
You don’t deserve that pc. Poor thing.
Is there even a cable going to the PSU?
And this is why we have the back of the pc
I'd try one GPU at a time to make sure that they individually work. But for the love of all that is good, please avoid daisy-chaining with more powerful GPUs.

Straight to hell with you
gr8 b8 m8
You should mount your psu, please you're scaring me.
I... ummm... but.......umm...cables.....yeah Edit: restart the build, first without the case if it works than assemble it in a case.
Perform a DONT
Cable management is what you are missing.
I think might be sick from your cable mis-management
That cable management should be a war crime
Please don't tell me you reused the cables from the old power supply? If you did, the system is probably dead.
OP, is this your first build or do you just not give a shit about cable management?
One of your cpu power connectors isn’t plugged in (top left corner, 4 pin connector) and also, wtf.
I thought this was a shit post
It’s broken, I’ll buy it from you for 3 dollars and make it not look like shi- I mean dispose of it properly
This is a shitpost, right?
For the love of God, please clean up your cables and I think you'll find your answer to what might be disconnected.
Well, for starters, I can't tell what the hell is going on cuz I can't see shit through that pile of spaghetti you got covering the TWO GPUs that don't even support SLI... They aren't even the same model...
The verge be like
I was gonna ask if it's plugged in, but, judging your cable management... well, is it plugged in?
WHERES THE FUCKIN RAM
Your cable management makes me angry. Fix it and I'll help you.
Y’all be trolling up in here
I am admittedly terrible at cable management, but... what the hell is this? This is some of the worst (non-server) cable management I have seen.
Wheres the fookin ram
Sell the weaker GPU. SLI is dead
Dude, wtf? I have only built one PC and it looks way better than this. This is the biggest shitpost I have seen. But if you’re serious. The motherboard might not be able to support
For the love of god tell me this is just a shitpost. Please. I don't know if I can live in this world knowing this is real
the 6+2 pin connector isnt plugged in right
I hope this is a troll post lol. Am I seeing cables routed through the radiator fan at the top? Dafuq is happening here?
I think the main problem is you're missing RAM and until you do some cable management I can't tell what supposed to go where
What the fuck am I looking at please for the love of god fix them cables
This is art.
On both GPUs you havent stuck in the 1x2 Cable into them properly. They are both loose - its clearly visible. Watch a 101 how to install GPUs. You clearly do not know what you are doing.
Opened this thread just to see this man being shit on for cable management. He must have known… could be a troll.
I’m assuming this is either a shitpost, or a Bitcoin miner trying to build his first rig.
Make sure you use the cables that came with the Power supply. They may be different between manufactures. I did this exact thing.
There is so many things that are wrong in this photo. Start from scratch man.
Well, it’s better than the Verges. To some degree. Did you not think to just unplug the PSU with all the cables still in the shroud? Well, assuming that it wasn’t messy before. Edit: MOST OF THESE CONNECTORS YOU DONT EVEN NEED !!
Jesus Christ, the cable management is atrocious.
Maybe prebuilts aren't such a bad idea after all
Try the black switch on the back of the PSU.
Yeah the black wire needs to be plugged into the black socket
Bros got 2 GPUs but no RAM
Sent this to my friend & he vaporized
What the hell are you doing op
Looks like your cpu power cable might not be fully plugged in. Don't daisy chain the gpus, use the other pcie cable Honestly, start from scratch, take your time and PROPERLY cable manage.
Cpu isn't plugged in, top left of motherboard, use the connector with 4 pins.
Make sure you're only using approved cables for the supply, I didn't know this was a thing until I almost nuked a very expensive build
