connecting wires

Okay so i spilt a lottt of water from the top of my pc but the top is mesh so it went straight through … my pc was off so i pulled out the cables tho there were tiny sparks I then removed the PSU cables ram and gpu from my pc but its been about 24hours and i wnt to try putting the pc back on Does it matter where the wires go in the photo

You probably didn’t get rid of the residual power by turning off the PSU for a few seconds first
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
I didnt know i had to turn it off
Arii
Arii3mo ago
It’s not the most obvious thing so I don’t blame you but you should turn it off before you touch any components, especially if you aren’t grounded correctly with the pc

I put in the power cable in random slots where they fit Does it matter in which hoels the go in the psu? And the tiny wires can i just out them in anywhere where they can fit
Pieter Sielie

Why is some of these pins missing

You want to plug the cables that connect to your GPU into the PCIe Connector slots and the ones that connect to your external hard drives into the SATA ones at the bottom
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Thanks How big a difference does it make I have one cable that i think goes to the motherboard But im not sure I think the tiny wires i just plugged in is connected to it
Arii
Arii3mo ago
For most power supplies the power drawn from them is different so if you plug the GPU into the wrong one it may not get enough power to run correctly
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
The gpu is a the top and the hdd is to the bottom But theres a third wire That goes to maybe motherboard or maybe to my front bottom fan
Arii
Arii3mo ago
It’s most likely the motherboard cable The fans are typically connected to the motherboard and not the power supply
Pieter Sielie

Mmmh ill take a video

Is it okay to start the pc up all at once ? Even tho i spilled water on it?
jidat
jidat3mo ago
U have drained the power right?
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Also can i slam the ram in any slot? It was unplugged for 24hours if that counts
jidat

That cable looks very redundant The fans should be connected to the motherboard and it is so that 6pin shouldn’t actually be needed for anything

This is not my setup

Its just black
Arii
Arii3mo ago
Honestly the cables you need to check are these: PSU —> Motherboard PSU —> GPU PSU —> HDD Motherboard —> CPU
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Top 3 are in and i didnt touch the cpu so should be fine
Arii
Arii3mo ago
that last cable doesn’t actually do anything afaict if you were right when checking the small pin connectors from earlier that went into the fan Anything that doesn’t start after these can be fixed afterwards it’s just those main cables that are important You may also want the front panel connector I guess since I doubt you want to start the pc without the button
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
So i turn it on now :Chamber_Fear: Sooo top or bottom
Arii
Arii3mo ago
Only if you are absolutely sure there is not left over moisture from the water And that there is no clear water damage to any parts that you can see
lyra
lyra3mo ago
yea no idea arii you got this :akagithumbsup:
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
But no way to know :frogsip: Wait dont leave me its not on yet :pandasad:
Arii
Arii3mo ago
You can feel if it’s condensed or if there are water stains
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Would it be visible?
Arii
Arii3mo ago
Yeah you can typically see the condensation or dried up liquid around the connector if you didn’t clean it properly You can also feel it tho
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Wheres the connector
Arii
Arii3mo ago
Any port that you had the water spill near
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
I dont feel any wetness :frogsip: :happypanda:

As long as you’ve made sure it’s dry, you didn’t answer how long ago it was
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Gpu is little brown but its dusty rather than metal that’s oxidised
No description
Arii
Arii3mo ago
Basically you want it to be fully dry and you want to be fully sure of this
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
It was about 30 hours a go Maybe 40 I also had a fan on it for 6hours
Arii
Arii3mo ago
I mean it’s up to you if you feel you’ve made sure it’s fully dry then I can’t feel the components for you sadly Whenever you’re comfortable just reseat the ram and see if any component is not working correctly
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
But does ram go in grey or black slot
Arii
Arii3mo ago
Technically it doesn’t matter so long as they are both seated in the same color Like both in black or both in grey It’s so that you get dual channeling on your memory So you would do 1 and 3 or 2 and 4
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
I only have one :please:
Arii
Arii3mo ago
Then you can pick any one you like I guess
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Theres no way i can put this upside down right
Arii
Arii3mo ago
No, the ram comes with a notch that will only let you seat it in one way Of course you could probably break it if you really tried to but it’s easy to tell if it’s the wrong way around

Did you open the switches on the top and bottom?
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
I cant get it in :why: I flicked the thingy at the top

Then you should be able to seat it

no its good
Arii

That looks like the right way You can tell by the part that doesn’t have the gold pins in the middle there If you look at the slots there will be a part that is a bit different That grey part would sit in there

Yeah that’s fine, if you look at the diagram on the left The cables should be the same just in a different way of connecting them And we don’t really know what that last cable does it’s up to you if you want to connect that one

Plugged it in just for in case

Yup should be fine if it was connected before all this I don’t understand what its purpose is supposed to be but it doesn’t seem to be connected to anything bad

Tho i donno it it was in pci e or in paa Pata

The PCIe ones are the red ones

I do have another question tho Why are some usb slots blue?
Arii
Arii3mo ago
its color coding for the version of the USB port
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
No description
Arii
Arii3mo ago
I believe blue is for 3.0 ports so those will give you the best connection assuming your device is also USB 3.0
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
One is even aquamarine / cyan What would i mouse and keyboard be And a high quality usb mic
Arii
Arii3mo ago
I can't see the text above it but I would assume it might be a 3.1 port
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Text was SS
Arii
Arii3mo ago
basically you want to plug any 3.0 compatible devices into the 3.0 ports since you will get a better connection USB 2.0 devices can still be plugged into a 3.0 slot however it just won't benefit from it so your mouse and keyboard will be the ones going into the 3.0 slots in this case for you probably throw the mouse in the cyan one even
Pieter Sielie

Thanks so much Ive never disassembled or reassembled any wires or pcs This was so stressful

np ❤️ it gets less stressful over time as you've done it a few times

wha--
Pieter Sielie

Can screws duplicate when you put em back Side panels only had 4 And one for gpu
Talonted Gamer

idk about that duplication glitch lol

And now one extra
Arii

yes its a well known phenomena
Pieter Sielie

You want vp to say thanks?
Arii

the screw could also be for fastening the PSU, or maybe the GPU?
lyra

download this and stress test it btw https://geeks3d.com/furmark/

if you accidentally unscrewed one of those

Its nothing at the back Has to be inside My gpu is really old It wont kill it right :SadBee: Also @lyra

thank you however i cannot accpet per i didnt do anything really then show you pics of front panel wires. plus I dont accept payment in general

lol
lyra

thank you again tho for the offer thats what we want to findout
Talonted Gamer

no Bro I don't need money we help for free and learn from it :Brim_SeemsGood:
lyra
lyra3mo ago
id also recommend to run a cpu stress test
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Was gonna pay more to the pc guys to do less wouldnt mind But appreciate everyone :PepeBlanketCry:
lyra
lyra3mo ago
maxon . net/en/cinebench also run that program its always a good idea to stress test everything
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Would that be like on the gpu ?
Arii
Arii3mo ago
it would be outside the case its a screw to fasten the gpu to the case from the outside
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Oh yeha no i have no open spots outside atvall
Arii
Arii3mo ago
I mean just keep it and maybe you'll notice it later
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Oh welp Plugged everything back in actually ? the ZIP or SETUP and how do i know which bit i am so i should rather not? i ahve like a gtx 960 or 970
Arii
Arii3mo ago
older GPUs yes its normally perfectly fine but it has happened before
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
mine is old tho :SadBee:
Arii
Arii3mo ago
I mean you don't HAVE to benchmark
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
is there a safe one
Arii
Arii3mo ago
if you aren't planning on running a game that will max out your components it won't really tell you anything anyways they are all typically safe, cinebench, furmark, AIDA64
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
any game maxes out my gpu
lyra

shhhhhhhhh
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
its below most games requirements atm :shy: discord and the anti malware i delted thats still there already takes 40-50% memory

I mean you honestly don't need to run the benchmarks, but if you noticed problems it might be a good diagnostic tool:BearHeart: try to turn of hardware acceleration on discord

can you go to the performance tab in task manager and show me? under 'memory' I just don't really believe you are using 40% memory if its 16gb with only those applications running sounds like you are being scammed by windows

40C is perfectly fine, that just depends on the fan speed you have set for example some gpu fans don't even start spinning until the gpu hits at least 50C

how can i download a piece of plastic i thought they were all just stupid also why does my mousepad need 200MBram just for lighting a little rgb around the thing

Damn Even bros mousepad uses vram
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
i didnt get vram T-T can i reduce cached ?
Arii
Arii3mo ago
I'm not sure what ram you currently have so I don't know if that speed is what the best clock for your ram is but you can fix the cache
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
DDR5 Vengance 16GB
Arii

model?
jidat
jidat3mo ago
Also why did u buy 1 stick of 16 instead of 2 8 gigs
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
oh no i dont wnat to clock or that stuff
Arii
Arii3mo ago
not talking about overclocking, just setting it to the speed listed on the ram up to you if you don't want to though for the cache we can try using ISLC to clear the standbylist
Pieter Sielie

donno if this helps
Pieter Sielie

you are losing about 14% of your ram's speed
jidat

Hm
jidat
jidat3mo ago
I say fix the cache first :val_CatBigStare:
Arii
Arii3mo ago
same thing just depends what cache is actually the one taking up that memory it could be the standbylist, vram anything
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
i dont have vram tho ? just the one i put in now
Arii
Arii3mo ago
everyone does unless you manually went and disabled it
jidat
jidat3mo ago
U have a graphics card I didn't even know that u can disable it
Arii

not the gpu ram :val_CatBigStare: the virtual ram on windows

Nvm
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
Isnt ram motherboard ram >.<
Arii

its the physical ram yes but there is also virtual ram which is when windows uses the storage on your system as temporary ram this is of course a lot slower and worse

so from fixing computer to optimizing it

copy these settings
Pieter Sielie

am learning too :']
Arii
Arii3mo ago
but change the 16330 MB to 16193 MB this will make it so the standbylist never takes more than 1GB also make sure its always running when the pc starts, the buttons in the bottom left should do it for you but it needs to be running to clear this stuff

after you have clicked start then send a screenshot of this left side here:

okay so your timer resolution is mismatched so we need to fix that so you don't get input delay

this doesn't effect visible memory only the cached ones
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
okay so i make wnated timer 1 ?
Arii
Arii3mo ago
nope, you're gonna run some CMD commands to fix your timer resolution, you want 0.5 gimme a second to find them, haven't set this in a while
Pieter Sielie

cashed is going up again was at 300mb now its on 600 now at 700 D:

of course, windows is going to keep reopening stuff since they think they are so important but as soon as it hits 1024 its gonna clear it back down to 0

it gets rid of the bad platform clocks that windows uses and instead uses the hardware based one you need it to get a 0.5 timer resolution in most cases

that's fine, if it doesn't exist its okay nothing bad will happen you can just use the other command I gave to not delete the last one and re-enable it if you don't like it its just to optimize delays in the system restart the pc and check timer resolution

np, was the cache in task manager better after this? or is it still taking a bunch of GB?

i also stopped my mousepad so now its 30% ram :)
Arii
Arii3mo ago
the other memory that is being taken up is most likely due to the operating system and your startup software, so you can tinker around with that a bit yourself but it looks a lot better now at least

:blobparty: thank you so much

I'm a bit frightened by the 0.98 Ghz processor speeds but you may just have some power saving features on I'm assuming
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
dont think so no
Arii
Arii3mo ago
can you click on the CPU tab and send a screenshot?
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
huh isnt it 4800Mhz?
Arii

that's your RAM

ah, yeah you don't have turbo on and you are using power saving
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
👀 turbo what now :please:
Arii
Arii3mo ago
its a CPU option that lets your processor go to its intended boost speeds

:val_CatBigStare: does this really work i use wise optimizer
Arii
Arii3mo ago
I'm assuming that even if you start like valorant that speed will probably stay at a lower value like that but you can try it and test I wouldn't ever touch a software like this in a thousand years its just ISLC with added bloatware

where do yall learn stuff like this :please:

random stuff need to learn for others
Arii

I used to care a lot about optimizing my PC so I have spent countless hours learning this stuff
Pieter Sielie

why is steam there after i closed the program o-o
Arii
Arii3mo ago
as I grew older I stopped caring about most of it but I still remember and do some of the simple stuff like this
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
simple stuff 💀 ah yes totally :Sussy: i too pocess this basic knowledge you speak off
Arii
Arii3mo ago
well now that you've done it once you will most likely remember the basic parts of ISLC so that in the future you can google it and see 'ah yeah I remember this'
Pieter Sielie
Pieter Sielie3mo ago
copy and paste the photos you sent :> :PikaPat: speaking of optimization what gpu should i get so my games run better and les laggy? i have i5 intel but im assuming i need more ram too ? i just end task windows explorer thought it meant folder everytinhg black 😭 what now
Arii
Arii3mo ago
well for GPU you are better off asking someone more kept up with recent builds, but you could probably get any mid-high end GPU and do well like a 6800xt, 3060, 3070 etc for RAM you're gonna have to look at what your motherboard supports, you are going to want at least 1 more ram stick for dual channeling since the benefits are huge sadly ram has to be identical when used together so you're going to have to buy another of the exact same ram with same size and speeds also, this isn't something you can close, notice how it says restart in the bottom and not End task? its not dangerous to do though and is pretty useful if the file explorer does freeze or glitch out

Okay restarted its fixed Scary tho :blobsweat: i have to go pick up a friend from the aiport thanks everyone for all the help :heartbun:
