Every person that is truly good with computers that I have ever met has had a build like this at least once in their life.

Ooh I once had a dell office unit with a 1060 running of a separate PSU.

How did you manage the different power switches? I was considering this before finding a hp cable adapter.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Wdym power switches?
SpikesOtherDog@ani.social · 2 pts · 1y
Power supplies. I think auto correct got me there.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
I used the default one for CPU and that and had the other one with a 6pin for the GPU and a short on one of the pins for the 24pin to make it turn on.
SpikesOtherDog@ani.social · 2 pts · 1y
Whoa, you manually shorted the second PSU. Here I was considering binding the signal and ground with jumpers.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Nah the secondary gpu had a power switch at the back and a single short on the 24pin. That's it.

I had my PC totally open, with a classic standing room fan taped to it during a summer.

You only need two tools.
If it moves and it shouldn't: Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move, but it should: Hammer.

Not WD-40?
Cooljimy84@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Ive heard the "you only need three tools"
If it moves and it shouldn't: duct tape
If it doesn't move and it should: wd40
If it doesn't work and it should: hammer

I think you mean WD-40, my dude.

Now you can channel a few more watts into the CPU/GPU since you've removed the need for fans draining the power.

I had an open slab of cardboard for my first homebuild. Airflow was excellent, but had to chase the cat away from it.
