Testing Theory with the Jack Piece and Power Supply

I can test this theory and make sure that this is not a danger, okay, so I will monitor this Jack piece here with the uh blur and make sure that the thermals are okay and that it's not pulling too much out of here. Also with these cheap power supplies now, this is something I wanted to talk about big time, these scare me, these overseas they don't weigh very much, I'm hoping the components inside are solid enough to brag or boast what this power supply can do. Now this one was only $25, okay, 25 got me a 10 amp, now I shopped and shopped and shopped, 20 amps are almost $75 to $80 dollars and up, I am not paying a hundred dollars for a power supply like this that's going to come to me and say it's 20 amp and feel like this not happening, but again so far nothing has pushed or taxed this to cause heat here, and we can try the thermal thing on that when we're going to do all the testing.

And on this because I didn't feel this even get warm, yeah that could be because it doesn't really have much in there to get warm, and I wouldn't feel it, I'm hoping that it's not true but so far let's just say I probably would not leave it plugged in until I am very okay with it running it for quite a while so that is important. Now I'm in this video I just wanted to go over all that I just wanted to make sure that people understand, I can put links down for all these little bits that I had to get because you're gonna need them if you want to build yourself a Commodore PC. I mean who doesn't want a nice retro looking PC? The keys are beautiful by the way, just want to let you know they work really well and they're very responsive and they're very enjoyable.

So in the next video, this will be clean, we should have everything done as I said Windows is already on the head of myself a little here. Windows is on here as you can see when I do this also put a link to this power supply because it's the right tip, it's the right voltage and it's enough amperage from what I've seen so far. So with the touch of this button now, so there's two wires from this other than the keyboard USB and that is the light and the power switch here is your power switch, there is your light off, it goes into AMD Heaven everything's moving nice there again until I put it all back together we're not going to know what The Thermals are like, I'm gonna do a test open like this and then I'm going to do a test close see what the difference is for all we know we might be surprised I don't know but I do expect thermals to climb sealed up as this is you know what it is.

I did take this piece out, you guys can see that uh one I'm not going to use the USB drive or or a CD-ROM drive in here at all so at this point what was the point? I'd rather have the power supplies far away from this as possible not because of a fire hazard but because air right so now when I tie this down or clean this up, I'm gonna have more airflow going through the case and that was where I was headed. So chances are if you're like me you're gonna probably remove that bay anyway it was only for a solid state and or an optical drive you could do both actually but it was a 2.5 today if you're building a new machine you're going to go completely nvme who needs hard drives when you can put at least two in a system like this and you can put a two terabyte if you wanted to just if you needed that extra space I am not making this my gaming computer although I did buy a cable to possibly turn a video card sideways yeah it's been on my mind but I don't think there's enough room here to really get away with that.

But I will say coming up in some videos we're gonna water cool this bad boy anyway, guys I'm just going on and on and on now because I'm kind of excited because I finally got all the parts to finally put it together after everything that went wrong. We now have a booting PC and it's running

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enokay guys welcome back to the uh second half if you did not see the first half it's because it was live and you just I will have it up here somewhere for you guys to go and enjoy the live mess that it was of getting this where it is now now off camera I I did do one change and I brought in I was off camera I apologize because I was just playing around and I put it in and it goes in really snug thanks to the rubber grommet like things that are on this the other one just Falls around this is a noctua fan and if you guys don't remember the Dreamcast series it's the exact same fan that the Dreamcast uses in that mod so this is uh second time ordering this fan and boom it just it's the fan that fits the original fan right now until I figure out what I'm gonna do with it is back in the box with the noctua stuff I thought about maybe mounting it somewhere as a extra airflow um but we're gonna get there I'm just going to use this as the one upgrade that I'm doing during this air build and keep in mind after this error build there'll be another a series going out where I have 3D printed a bunch of things I'm not going to talk about them too much and this will have a water cooling system from a Commodore case but in a really new way okay so I just want to go over a couple things here right off the bat the 300 watt power supply as beautiful as it is it's not going to cut it and it's not that it's not big enough it's not strong enough oh it's more than big enough and it's more than strong enough the problem is this guy to be done nicely I would have had to put it here just to keep things clean and there is a problem with that the standard cables don't reach over here now I did actually order extension cables in my nice red braided cloth whatever like I did in my project game over um but it added a pile of problems with the cabling and and I mean a pile those braided cables are strong they're not meant to be just kind of torn down and strapped in I could have but it just didn't feel right so we're going to scratch this 300 watt Pico power supply and we're going to use this 300 watt Pico Supply and that's right this is a complete ATX they call it a mining power supply but it's a 300 watt power supply and it is able to keep things a little neater and hopefully be able to put the shell on without any real big headaches so what this is it's literally a power supply on the 24 pin the 24 pin is going to plug in like so and we're going to have a 300 watt power supply right here I don't know if this is too high or not I may not have solved my issue at all I may have made it worse so let's just pretend that this is all wired in nice and neat like not let's take this and see if we can actually get it on there and if not we have to be very very picky on what we picked for a power supply which we already kind of knew but I didn't think it'd be this bad and right off the bat I think we have a problem and yes we do so new problem arises after we get rid of one now trying to think if I have the solution for this or not I could extend this little piece I don't like to so now we have two power supplies that are giving me grief you need one hell of a low power supply to go on here or this somewhere else and that may be the answer it could be that the board which I think most ITX boards are laid out this way I'm going to add a problem here and it's a huge one how do I make the power supply work if I go with a l bracket which I do have even lights up gigabyte it's going to go this way and still going to be no good even if it went this way it's no good so that's two brand new power supplies not gonna work on the ASRock board this connector is right here so it's not giving me anything better this is the ITX layout all right so now we have another problem I'm just going to have to put the project aside until I can figure out how I'm going to do this I mean like I said I could put a cable on here and extend it but at this point does not look like that's how it's going to go so I might be getting a little ahead of myself trying to do a 300 watt power supply and I'm thinking maybe the other ones are much shorter if this was around this height here we would not have a problem I'm gonna have to go and see which one John over at CTS ordered and uh that may have to be my solution which is only 150 watt but he has no issues so it is an option worth looking into okay guys welcome back again because the other part was a video that I crammed down with so many different things that went wrong in that video and I just want to give an update to that so instead of going on and on about that video I'm adding this to it so that you can see what actually happened here now it is a mess not gonna deny that right now so here is the 300 watt power supply I said I couldn't use now I took some a double-sided a 3M tape and stuck it down and it is actually solid now I mentioned that I bought other extensions and I did I bought let me just unplug this I bought uh braided ones it's a problem with braided ones were that they wouldn't bend enough here so you could not get the keyboard back on you'll also notice right now that I'm only using a generic Ram it's 32 gigs it's 16 gig dimms but you need your RAM to be lower than the cooler which is 90 millimeter or something like that for height so anything higher than this cooler the keyboard's not going on so to put argb Ram in here stupid No One's Gonna See it to put uh even metal shielded Ram in here you're going to get the height to the point where it's just unusable now I do have a few other issues I'll get into uh there's something else I found out about this board that I'm not happy about I did mention that we did change this to a noctua fan and I gotta say the cover isn't even on and I can feel the air just coming out of this little fan much better upgrade over the factory fan not that the factory Fan's not gonna pull that air for you if you don't want to spend any money go ahead but this made it fully tight it literally was like they were made to be together the grill and the fan because of the rubber grommets are solid couple things right here these are very important for this whole project this is your 4-pin CPU pin uh cable now it came with another braided one I don't know if I still have it here I probably put it away because it was annoying and what it was is one that plugs in right here but it cannot reach over here and even if it did it's the same connector as this one which means this one or the other one neither one of them are plugging in at the same time you need an eight pin so I went and got a four pack of these your four pin to an eight pin now some people go well it's going to run on the four pin yep it probably will but there are reasons why it needs the eight pin for ryzen 5000. so the eight pin is there give it eight pin a power it's just that simple I paid ten dollars I think for all four of these so now I have extras for whenever I'm doing any other ITX builds because so far every Pico power supply that I have used or tried to use four pin one issue fixed so I can just tuck it down in here blah blah blah it's put away done again this is not a fashion statement I will clean this up a bit because in the grand scheme of all of this this goes on top you're not going to see anything am I going to play around with RGB we're just going to leave that okay next another big problem when using an IT export and that is headers you don't get a lot now they do give me extra mini to normal fan headers on the gigabyte a reverse line but there's only one USB 2.0 here there is a USB 3 absolutely and that's a that's your uh regular RGB and that's an argb so that's not a USB so here's the the issue with this when you have the card reader installed well that is a USB cable and that USB cable is right here unplugged right now so I'm not using it so I'm going to take a look and see if I can find an adapter for that or I plug in half of it like so uh I don't think I'm gonna be able to do that right now Maybe plug in half of it and have half the card reader or whatever working again this is not an a good option I'd like to get maybe a splitting header no different than whether you had an HDMI or a USB splitter now that's minor uh this is USB 2.0 anyway I probably wouldn't want to use this one as I would like to replace it with a three maybe I'll take a part of three fitted in here and somehow root the wiring I don't really want to do that but I'll try and figure this part out later and maybe I can get one that just plugs in right there because there's no other USB 3. on the case so that probably is what I'm going to try to do go from this to this and I don't have to worry about that actually I may have an adapter to go usb2 to the USB 3 which will still be usb2 but still anyway I digress okay so these are your power and your LED no big deal they just go to your board like normal yes I have to clean them up and the problem here with this is now solved by just buying the basic looking one the basic looking one folds down beautifully solves the issue of height now I should be able to put this on top now this is actually hooked up as you can see because I it's got long wire you can actually do that which is really nice because you can pull it away and do what you want with it that's actually a very nice little feature having this extra wire okay now when it comes down to the Pico power supply I mean it gives you a few little features but chances are you're just going to use an nvme probably here or on this board underneath another little problem is when you buy a Pico power supply you do not yet a power supply you get the power supply needed to adapt and adjust the power coming out of here which means 5 bolt and 12 volt but you need a 12 volt power supply now I did a lot of hunting and this is a 10 amp 12 volt this power supply technically should be a 20 amp 12 volt now I'm not gonna lie I've been running this for a little while I even installed installed Windows on it but that's another video but what I want to get at is this did not get hot this did not give me any trouble in fact the power thing just fell out of it and a bunch of people were talking about a little thing that was concerning and it did catch my attention and that was this connector here okay now they say this is not rated for the the pull that's going to happen here and this could melt well I did want to check that too and I didn't get any uh issues or thermos on there so I'm not too concerned about that as I will monitor it later because I do still have to drill a hole and put out the jack get myself a fleur for the channel so finally I have one and what we're going to do there I'll do a video on this in the near future because I think this is a video on its own just for fun I mean look at that right and with that I can test this Theory and make sure that this is not a danger okay so I will monitor this Jack piece here with the uh blur and make sure that the thermals are okay and that it's not pulling too much out of here also with these cheap power supplies now this is something I wanted to talk about big time these scare me these overseas they don't weigh very much I'm hoping the components inside are solid enough to brag
