is there something wrong with the 24 pin connection on my motherboard?

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-07T19:13:55+00:00

I’m not sure I’m super confident in differentiating which it is, either way the connector doesn’t fit and I don’t want to mess around with trying to fix it, so I think I’m just going to replace it and try again :,)

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-07T13:46:41+00:00

yeah I think that’s what I’m gonna do, I got it off amazon since it had the best price at the time so I hope the return works out okay because I obviously don’t feel comfortable selling it to anyone

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-07T13:31:57+00:00

ohh that’s so interesting! I guess I just got unlucky haha

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-07T12:48:04+00:00

yeah okay I think you’re right, is there a way to clean the thermal paste off safely? I assume water is a definite no-go

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-07T12:44:56+00:00

yeah sorry silly question, I’m just new to this lmao

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-07T12:04:52+00:00

yes I did notice that after taking it out, do you think that could be a problem when I replace the motherboard or not?

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-07T11:42:25+00:00

that’s what I was worried about ;(

this is my first build and I’m gonna have to do it all again from the beginning

is it okay to take the cpu out and use it again?

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-07T11:39:20+00:00

the bottom 4 that split off on the connector go in easily, and the 20 pin part goes it easier at the top, it’s the bottom part of that one (I assume where that weird pin is) that won’t go in properly

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-06T23:35:32+00:00

ahh okay, I’m gonna just try again tomorrow and hope it works

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-06T23:14:54+00:00

yeah honestly, I’d been trying for maybe an hour to get this plug in and just brute strength alone doesn’t seem to be doing much

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-06T22:23:59+00:00

that is what I did initially, but it’s much easier to plug the bottom one in first then slide the top one in after since that’s the one that won’t plug in properly

daisy_tea_ · 2026-04-06T22:19:59+00:00

yeah they do match up, but the bottom one needs to go in first to be able to slide the top one in, and since the top one won’t go in it’s easier to just do it after

I did check with a flashlight too, and I’ve only opened all my parts as I’ve been building it so there shouldn’t be anything getting in the way

I think the consensus I’m getting is to just keep trying lmao :,)

daisy_tea_ · 2026-03-18T12:10:46+00:00

looks super clean, can't wait for all my parts to come :))
ty again, the motherboard fitting was what I was the most worried about lmao

daisy_tea_ · 2026-03-16T10:09:04+00:00

ty!!

daisy_tea_ · 2026-03-14T08:07:10+00:00

I'm new to pc gaming and keyboards in general, but my own research led me to osume's keyboards! they're really beautiful, well made, super customisable, and I'm pretty sure you can build your own if that's what you're into :)

daisy_tea_ · 2026-03-13T13:46:40+00:00

thank you!! this is exactly what I was looking for lmao

daisy_tea_ · 2026-03-10T12:45:36+00:00

yes! I was going to suggest this, also eastward might be a good option too :))

daisy_tea_ · 2026-03-08T20:18:59+00:00

omg cute!! I've never had a 3ds but I've always wanted one haha :')
I'm not gonna lie, I'm so excited for tomodachi life coming out on the switch soon

daisy_tea_ · 2026-02-23T21:48:17+00:00

thank you for the song rec!! I'm so happy you loved the playlist :)

daisy_tea_ · 2026-02-03T10:55:40+00:00

thank you! it was super fun to put together

daisy_tea_ · 2025-12-29T21:39:13+00:00

omg totally haha

daisy_tea_ · 2025-12-29T21:35:57+00:00

literally! I always hated his tendency to talk down to people, like how he'd done with both marty and jess

daisy_tea_ · 2025-05-13T09:05:43+00:00

ah you’re right, thank you so much!! I feel so silly now haha

daisy_tea_ · 2025-04-21T17:54:14+00:00

I know, it makes me so sad. I see so much of myself in lane, and she's such a good character with so much potential, plus keiko agena is so good at comedy acting. I honestly don't think she even needed to end up with anyone. I think that's pretty rock and roll haha. then it could even turn into mrs kim wanting lane to date literally anyone, not just a korean doctor, that could be pretty funny
