I hate this connector

Nice rant, kiddo. LOL

then dont use it you fucktard

It hates you too.

LOL

Hi friend! It seems you've found Sup Forums's technology board! You made a few mistakes though, and I'm here to help out! :D

Boards other than Sup Forums have rules, as well as the global rules! Two important rules you might have missed are global rules six and three!

3. You will not post any of the following outside of Sup Forums: Trolls, flames, racism, off-topic replies, uncalled for catchphrases, macro image replies, indecipherable text (example: "lol u tk him 2da bar|?"), anthropomorphic ("furry") or grotesque ("guro") images, post number GETs ("dubs"), or loli/shota pornography.

6. The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.

It's okay friend, we all make mistakes!

where do I unsub from your blog

These little cunts are worse.

I wonder why it hasn't gotten a redesign. Pretty much every other connection has, and it takes up quite a bit of space on the board as is.

Why can't we deliver ALL power to motherboard so it powers disks and gpu through slots and ports?

It's like with the "P4" connector

>makemorepins.jpg

My guess is EMI and attempting to isolate it. Seems kind of pointless from a modular standpoint as well since you'd have to get an entirely new motherboard if you needed more ports for power, unless there's a new standard created for power expansion cards to allow it.

came itt to post this. fuck those.

Serious question: Why don't those tiny things have a standardized layout? I have 3 motherboards and they all have different layouts. One of them is especially retarded because the labeling on the motherboard and the layout on the manual which is different are both wrong and I have to keep plugging them in to random spots to figure out the layout.

To be fair, the whole ATX standard could need a refresh. It's embarasing.

...

Because computers are not supposed to be about meme aesthetics and RGB. The power supply is built to do its job.

This is reason why I can never change motherboard without breaking it,fucking thing stays there until you cut it with axe.

Because then we get hassles like the initial RX480 rollout where people's PCIe ports were fried by too much juice being jacked through them.

Hey you ya you go fuck yourself cunt this is not a friendly place get out

THIS

ITT people who are super new to building computers

>its a mobo maker puts the clear cmos jumper right below the gpu

BRAVO

Had to disassemble half a friends pc just to get to that fucker.

These should be L shaped for robustness, but chinese asholes dont care.

why the fuck cant they make them just smoother to click in . why do they have to be cancer, just like the usb and the pled pins.

No they should not can you imagine how much of a pain they would be to plug in ?

i want to agree with you, but you come off as such a fucking tryhard underage faggot that i can't

*blocks your path*

Aww is little tummy mad that i called him a cunt?

You need a firm connection. With the high currents drawn, any resistance due to poor contact will generate heat and the connector will fail. Murphy's Law says that heat will cause the connection to get worse rather than better so it will be a thermal runaway. Both connectors (male and female) will be damaged and with them the motherboard.
The other option is a "Zero-Force" connection, which is expensive.
Bulk up, weakling.

My case came with black cables for power, led, etc. and I don't use the USB 2.0 header, but shouldn't you be able to spray paint with Plasti Dip as long as you cover the port? I haven't done it personally but I've seen some people painting t the 24 pin.

I never reccomend to spray shit inside of house with cheap paint
Especially something close to your 100C overclocked cpu and card.

If you wanna do it,at least invest about 50$ for proper paint.

Thankfully these are pretty much dead by now. My case still has one of those, where a single one feeds all the case fans, but my god, are these fucking shit.

But molex is actually nicer.

The socket offers far more guidance (really pretty easy to plug in blindly) and there are no two-segment cunt design variants with cable and plastic parts that are more designed to misalign the two parts than to allow them to be plugged in.

Good thing I underclock and have a rx460 only gaymes I play are most so that's good enough. Anyways what paint do you recommend? I'm not a painter or anything so not sure. Think car or engine paint would work?

STOVAX-THERMOLAC-PAINT-BLACK-RADIATORS/dp/B0034OVDS2

On amazong is pretty ok.
You can find something better looking if u try tho.

Molex Corporation hates you too.

-t. Molex Corporation.

ATX connectors are well designed, if you're "hating" on them I can't imagine why.

They have tonnes of overhead, connect securely yet easily, are cheap to produce and easy to repair should the need arise while also being solidly robust.

If only everything else in a system were as fucking good.

It's not an 'ATX connector' it's Molex Mini-Fit Jr.

Not even made by fucking Molex.
The Tyco/AMP MATE-N-LOCK has never been manufactured by Molex corporation.

Oh nice thanks, user! Have a nice morning/day/night!

I hate it too. It was designed to dig into your fingers and hurt you as much as possible with its sharp edges and corners.

>LOL

MOAR PINZ

100 PIN DIN.

No, god that'd be too monstrous.

You were saying..?

I had forgotten about those bastards. Thanks for ruining my day.

>soldering the back of that
Just kill me already.

> Not even made by fucking Molex.
You find it with "Molex connector", that's all that matters.

And if in doubt: Better close Molex corporation than to let it get in the way of us using language as we please.

No, it's shit. The pins within the plugs themselves never fucking line up when you try to plug them in.

Don't mind me, just shorting out and melting your hard drives

I get mad just by looking at this image

This, I had to use tweezers to connect them in my last build. Complete pain in the ass.

jeez bruv wtf is that?? nevr seen hell in just one picture

oh my fucking god. looking at this thing makes my finger tips hurt.

>boards other than Sup Forums have rules

Sup Forums has rules too fuckface and your post is invalid

Bought one of these for my work computer and ended up not needing it. I have no idea what to do with it now.

Destroy it

We used it in a video archiving server that was being used at a county jail for surveillance

The fucking thing CAUGHT FIRE because of that cable

Miraculously the drives still worked with no data loss after cutting away the melted cable from the melted plug

When I was in the navy I used to occasionally do this for some of our radio equipment. It was just as bad as you imagined.

/thread

That's what I've seen in pics. Wish I could have returned it, but shipping costs more than the cable itself. Good thing I bought the wrong PSU at first and got a different one with more cables.

It wasn't so bad at least not when manufacturing them.

Did you use those connectors on your laser training equipment?

Molex to Sata, lose all your data.

>Molex
What does a brand have anything to do with a Serial ATA standard?

Fuck them.

it's designed to bust the cap's solder on an old Mobo, of course it's not going away otherwise mobo's would last too long

What?

*blocks your path*

You get one shot to plug it in.

Is this meant to be hard?
The smooth side up the cut side down.

LOL

...

MY FINGERS

That's a lot of AMP Mate-N-Lok connectors.
So... What does Brand to Standard has to do with anything?

If this was /o/ you'd probably be retarded enough to make a thread named
>Corvette vs GM, who makes the best engine?

>please be patient, I have autism

The USB port itself can be in three positions. It can have the plastic part on top, or on the bottom. More commonly though, it remains in the so called "superposition", with the plastic part blocking both methods of entry, only settling on a more conventional position once observed. This is the reason why plugging in a USB device usually requires a minimum of three attempts before it is successful.

This is a normie meme that it's hard to plug in. Just look at your usb and make sure the empty holes are facing towards you.

Usually you can use a flat screwdriver to spin those, but when the cooler is so old it is stuck, you're out of luck.

Ok.
How long do you want us to wait?

The have one upside, one downside, and one retard side for people that can't plug in a cable that has been the same for 20 years.
What are you retort gonna be that isn't "hurr durr bait"?

pic related is satan

>Serious question: Why don't those tiny things have a standardized layout?

they are standardized.

OP's picture is outdated. People just get really OCD about these pins when they've NEVER been easier.

I see you can't aim well enough to circle the piece of satan correctly.
Here I fixed it for you.

Got a cheap corsair CX psu and my fucking god inserting it feels like your breaking the board.
Had to put a thick piece of folded paper behind the mobo just to have some reassurance.

Your move.

cut side away from you.
That was easy.

>How long do you want us to wait?
We're waiting for you user, there's no need to have a fit

How about you stop being a pussy and realize that your motherboard isn't made of paper? If the connector is loose, you get resistance. Resistance creates heat, and heating up a critical component is bad, mmmkay?

Same

Go eat a dick.

Is this what you Reddit people call the switcharoo?
You trying to not showing your butthurtness?

Who the hell has problems with PGA sockets?

It's the only PSU I've ever used that has had that tight of a connector no matter what motherboard it was used on. All the other PSUs I've installed over the years has been fine and slipped in quite easily.
I would like to still see a better connector than the 24-pin, its still mostly around because there is no bother to make anything better and then there is legacy reasons.

retards

I don't give a damn about it being PGA. That shit stopped being used by the 1st world 13 years ago.
It's the trash you put on those PGA sockets that are trash made by satan.

>LOL

>Bulk up, weakling.
The point is the amount of pressure/tension you are forced to apply to the board in order to connect/remove the stupid connector, not to mention what an annoyance it can be to apply that force at awkward angles that can come with PC building in some cases. Stop being an egoist.

The point is, it's that way for a good reason. Stop being a little bitch.

How is it dead?
It works just fine and comes with new PSUs
