How to mount a new source or how to replace the old source - hardware guide

Hello friends, this tutorial will show you how to change a source where one replace the old one or simply make a new and must assemble source.
Motherboards desktop source (PSU) have to connect the two connectors, the first connector is ATX 20 or 24, depending on the age of the motherboard, older boards have connector ATX 20 pin and the us have ATX + 20 4. The second connector to be inserted into the motherboard CPU power is on, this connector can be 4 or 8 pin, depending on the age of the motherboard, older motherboards (or entry level) have 4 pin connectors.
After I connected the motherboard, and other components must supply such as video card, optical drive, hard disk, SSD, etc. A good source has connectors dedicated video card and SATA, unless you have this, you can use adapters from Molex (5V + 12V) PCI Experess (12V) or from Molex to SATA (5V), Molex website is 4 conductors, two black (mass), one red (5v) and one yellow (12v), depending on what use Molex adapter site can help. My recommendation would be to use these adapters only temporary.
Operation of changing source is not complicated, just patience and attention.
An operation that keeps the air flow in the cabinet, but the issue is cable management. It's about laying cables through the housing so as not to be impeded airflow for better cooling vital components. A housing with an interior wiring clogged air flow will be weak and thus a faulty cooling components.
When it comes to cable management, carcass quality matters a lot, famous producers (Antec, Corsair, LianLi, Thermaltake, Chieftec, etc.) facilitates mounting and cable arrangement so we can have a very good cable management with minimum effort.
Even a cheap housing, a resourceful man can do good work, that you and imaginative than cable lengths and of course the source.
This tutorial is part of a series of tutorials dedicated to installing hardware components that includes these video tutorials:
How to mount a CPU cooler and RAM on the motherboard
The difference between a good and a poor source, connectors, noise and cold start sources
If you do not already have a good source, you can follow this tutorial dedicated achitionarii a source:
Buyer's Guide, how we choose the source computer
Before you plunge watch closely tutorial, beware of components and parts on the motherboard, some may be sensitive, too careful jacks sata of hard disk drives or optical drives, these jacks are very sensitive and can break very quickly, especially if you draw a sATA cable attached.
Above all, empower yourself with patience.
Good luck with that !

    Congratulations tutorial, Cristi! Would have to show how to make a Wire Management, or leave many cables disposed of there and not give good air circulation in the cabinet.
    I noticed that source that you took it off was a Delux even have the courage to yourself a similar source in such a PC?

    • Delux site I mounted 2-3 days before (temporarily), normally system that functioned with a source Fortron Epsilon of 500W unfortunately fan it made an unbearable noise and anyway Vori to ask him another source, quieter now do not even realize you turn on your PC.
      I will speak about cable management on these tutorials, it is generally difficult to do so without a good source and a well designed casing.
      Each PC has in other parts, placed in different ways and does not know if someone will use a tutorial specifically for cable management.
      With a little imagination you can hide cables to great art, no matter what shell you.
      I saw a few months ago live a corsair housing and cable did not see any when I opened the lid, one that deserves a system configured 10, the truth is that the housing Corsair had done almost all the work.

      Check this out!
      Cables source (positioned below) come immediately behind the right pane and go where you need them.

        Yes, you're right about a tutorial related to arranging cables, housings vary from one user to another, but it's worth something to present concepts related to this topic. I own a housing Segotep G2R Raynor and I can say pretty much helped me inclination such housing for cable management, source pity that we do not have the cable sleeve, but I do not mind the future may have to buy another.

    useful for many, but it would have been more useful if you have shown us how to make jumpers, this really would have been a great help, however, and many thanks! :)

    Yes, you're right about arranging cables, housings vary from one user to another. I personally own a casing modest (it is a Segotep Raynor G2R) helped me a lot when it came to Wire Management, shame that I sleeve cables from the source, but I do not mind, you more layout .

  4. I am glad that this site exists. It's much easier to understand how to work with a program or how to mount a video source if explain unless someone explain in writing.
    Thanks for boys tutorials. We salute.

  5. Thanks to you now I know in addition to what type of components to head (due to the realization of numerous giduri hardware) and now you know you mount but I optimize my system because VIDEOTUTORIAL site! THANK YOU for everything you do! :)

  6. Very good… But I would like to ask if it's not good to have a case with the source positioned down ???

    • It depends on preference and budget, often carcasses are more expensive because the source below the standard out of the box and everything comes out is more expensive.
      At a cabinet source below need to have a good source, the cheap cables were too short to get them back.
      If the body is not quality source positioned below will fill quickly with dust.

  7. What has this configuration unit (cpu, gpu, ram etc)?

  8. I just love guides like this, the ones filmed with the camera, you don't see much like that in Romanian, most of them are in English and those are few (not that those aren't good, but it's different when you see a compatriot of yours doing -a). When you make another change to the system, e.g. changing the source do not hesitate to make a tutorial, I personally like to watch, being passionate about these things. We are also waiting for hardware guides, and maybe also unboxings (because we don't have much of them in Romania either) or reviews of what components you have bought before (or anything else related to this world of IT). I also want to set up a system (on paper that I will buy when I have the money). What I want to ask you is: For an Intel Core i5 processor, and the rest of the high-performance components, would the motherboard be good: Asrock H67M motherboard, socket 1155? I should follow the brand or the features, because it has almost everything I need (future proof). One more question because you are good at sources: For the above components plus a nice 4Gb ram, a 3 sata hard drive, 1 Tb, and a Solid-State Drive (SSD) SSD Corsair Force GT 2.5 ″ 60GB, SATA, CSSD- F60GBGT-BK, plus the case with a cooler and all kinds of lights, and not at the moment but maybe in the future the most persormant video card, what source would you recommend? I know it's an important component, but my heart won't let me put more than 200 (250 with heart constraints) on one source, that's why I'm asking you. Thanks in advance, please 2 sentences to answer me (yes / no to the motherboard, and a source there at random to get rid of me 🙂) and keep it up!

    • C.Razvan said

      Depending on the video card that you purchase, you can look OCZ ZS Series after a Cooler Master GX 550W or 450W. That base plate is pretty crowded, alternatives such as Gigabyte GA-PH67-DS3-B3 or ASRock H61iCafe. I can say if you like overclocking will need to purchase a motherboard chipset P67 (disallows IGPU) or Z68 (OC + IGPU).

I want to configure a system and I (on paper that I will buy when I have money). What I want to ask is: For an Intel Core i5, and the remaining parts rather performing as good motherboard: ASRock H67M, 1155 socket? Should I take by brand or by characteristics, because it has everything that I would need (future proof). Another question because you know your sources: For the above components plus a pleasant 4Gb RAM, a SATA hard 3, 1 Tb, and an SSD Solid-State Drive (SSD) Corsair Force GT 2.5 "60GB, SATA, CSSD- F60GBGT-BK plus casing complete with a cooler and all kinds of light, but the future can not currently persormanta the video card, just what source would you recommend? I know it's important component, but his heart will not let me give more than 200 (250 constraints heart) on a source, so I ask you. Thank you, I beg you to answer 2 porpozitii (yes / no to the motherboard, and a source there at random to get rid of me) and keep up the good work!

    I never understood why the novel is ...
    We want to have ... to be strong but not spend ... we want to keep but do not give money, we want to be strong but if you can inexpensively ...
    There is no such thing! You want to fly on Mars? You need a super rocket, that's clear .... if not, than to do the job in half or to get lost halfway or not never get neither end nor from where you left, then go "on hand" improvisations cheap on hand frost and so ... you'll have only part of headaches, frustrations and carpel of ugly and physically and that will give you the anxiety and mentally.
    If you want the best PC but do not want to give money to a healthy source drive you, then you want to you that you will buy power from the moon in a month and more to lose than you earn.

  10. Grade 10 for the tutorial and for the site, it is very useful…. I'm waiting for a tutorial for connecting those many and thin cables: power, restart, led hdd, led power, I really struggled to find the right combination when I changed the source, even now I don't have led for hdd, because I didn't find it… I managed to I do it for power and restart.

  11. Cristi told us in tutorial sourcing as a source must not be under 150 lei. I want to give 200, 250 may lei a source. I did not say I wanted most powerful computer, and may not have much money so we take the most expensive components, but I put some questions Cristi, because I like what I do and I know he knows well what do what. I do not think you should come to me now and do any of you out there censored by points. There are a source of 80 lei approx. 1 year and a half and I had absolutely no problem with your computer. I guess if you pay 200 lei will be at least slightly better than the present.
    @AdrianGudus And I suspect that's so novel (with a little because it is a common noun) nice talk and he'll respond with hostility, and instead lose the 5 minutes talking with your hatred could stand the 5 min and help.
    My questions are still valid for Cristi, we found this source: Source Recom PowerEngine 550 Plus, 550W, think it's pretty good? Thank you!

  12. Why write that were uploaded videos on youtube 233 and 232 just lists?

  13. I AM THE STRONGEST …… VERY USEFUL

  14. Hello . 2 weeks ago I bought a new pc system with the following configuration: AMD Athlon II 455 X3 processor, 3300MHz, AM3 socket, Box, Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM (kit of 2), Asus M5A99X Motherboard -EVO, Socket AM3 +, HDD Seagate 500GB, 7200rpm, 16MB, SATA3, Gigabyte nVidia GeForce GT430 video card, 1024MB, GDDR3, 128bit, DVI-I, HDMI, PCI-E, 520W Inter-Tech Booster Source. A few days after I bought it, I faced the following problem: when I release it after it has been off for more than 2 hours, I have no video signal on the monitor (the monitor is in standby) and no LEDs. the mouse light does not light up, although the fans turn on and the housing LED is on. This (pc system) recovers only after I leave it on for 3-4 minutes after which I give it a reset, it starts normally, showing the image from asus motherboad and then the windows loads normally and it works without problems - mouse, sound, video signal, I have no problem in games or anything else, etc. I guess it's from the motherboard that doesn't power the video card and USB ports, probably because of the technology that allows it to save power while the PC is turned off, and at startup it takes until it powers the video card and USB ports or e too new and still doesn't know how to start. I reset the bios, I removed the battery, I downgraded the bios, nothing happened, the problem did not disappear.
    I sent the service, the people there were replaced with a new source source the same model, but I have returned after the first start after a break of 2 hours again raised about the same problem. To be the source? source to another more expensive, and will pay the difference? worth or another to be the problem?

  15. Hello Cristi, I looked at the tutorials troubleshooting PC to call it so made you and I have liked, especially since it's new and it's filmed and understand better. More on this subject.

  16. Good tutorial and helpful, thank you.

  17. Hi, I tried to remove my source, but my case is microATX, and it is a bit crowded, I unscrewed the screws, but it doesn't come out… it's like it's glued to the other side of the case where the cover is not taken, how do I remove it ..?

    By the way, are you going to go with an ATI 5830 1GB 600W Deluxe?

  18. I found the culprit for the defect - dvd rw - probably the motherboard does not power properly when it is connected or dvd rw is short somewhere, without it the pc starts normally every time, maybe someone else has the same defect and ii this comment will be useful.

  19. Help. I have a dilemma and I'm afraid to not burn the motherboard. I got new 500W source. Erection problem. In that the source contains 2 4 plugs holes (the holes and one near 20 separately). The other shades are separate cables, one has separate black 2 2 yellow. You put in the motherboard of the 2. Motherboard is ECS nForce motheboard 3 a939. Ask ptr as the motherboard is a bit spaced 2: the 20 with the 4. Enter only the 20 and jack 4cu separate the yellow and black or 20 with plug stuck???? thanks

  20. As a source connect with 20 pin to pin motherboard 14

  21. Cristi good, I want to know if a motherboard supports any type of source, because I want to change the source that I 300w (max) 450w one of which was a drive AMD. Are there any risks?

    Hello,
    I mention that not open your computer or how to get into bios, I went to a workshop where it was discovered that one of the plates of ram (I had two) do not work (as a Scotland remained so less ram , opened computer without any problem). In addition they said I have some swollen capacitors that have changed and we must change the source as being old (has any 4 years) swollen capacitors and can damage other parts (God forbid it be the motherboard). Source still works well in the sense that no problems visible from outside the enclosure (I have part of reboots or blue screens due to a possible malfunction of the source as seen on the net) and my question is if indeed old but still a source works should be changed for endangering other components or only those in service have shown excessive zeal, I do not mean that they wanted to sell merchandise (and its sources were on sale) but I'm whacked with prejudice, saying that any source, regardless of who it is, must not be kept for more than two years to be changed even if it works. It's not about money but do not want to change just for the sake of changing it so do not find the source of the connectors that have flopy and color and grid that I want.
    Thanks a lot and congratulations for the site. Not a boast free: five months ago I searched on google how to make a stick bootable with Windows 7, after about 9 hours I thought of writing keywords in Romanian (write in English to avoid me appear in list results forums Romanian full of cursing and understanding to all who actually end up boasted endlessly, and by distorting the original intent of the person who opened the topic to), so I got over my own rule and so I found this website, watched tutorial is so clear and precise that I solved my problem without additional knowledge as needed (all I had to know was listening and reading when necessary).
    All the best .

    Hi, we have done a tutorial on this topic in the past, how you can "stress" your source with the help of Everest. If you have high voltage fluctuations then you can consider changing it, especially if it is a stock source that does not weigh more than 100 g, such cheap sources, pans or crackers as we call them are usually found on PC cases that come with the source. These are really dangers and it is not recommended to use them for a long time. Even if they apparently work, they are made extremely poorly and with very poor quality materials.
    Please don't be upset but I shook my head slightly when I read "… which has the color and grid I want". It's just a source that you put in the case, put the lid on and who knows when you'll see it on the "face".

    • cristi said

      Adrian Hello and thanks for the reply.
      No, of course I'm not upset. Being in your place, maybe I would have been raised, surprised, by an eyebrow. Not that I would try to sound less healthy, but let me twice present the source of the strange statement: a few years ago I was calling someone when I wanted to save something from a CD in the computer, because it seemed uncontrollable. " technique ”copy from the cd - paste in the computer, after that, with the introduction of the internet and the related viruses in the equation, of necessity, because I had ended up paying someone again a few hundred thousand once every 3 weeks - a month (as if I had done rate on another computer) to reinstall the system and "secure" it, I started to document myself and learn all sorts of things, gathering so many pleasant memories that the computer itself became a personal memory that I try to keep in -a shape as close as possible to the original one (a face of the source remains visible behind the case and must look like the original one, like a restoration when physically the original lime no longer exists, the entropy blames it, but the fresh one t must look the same). I remind you that I did not try to look healthier and sorry that in the end it was not just 2 lines but more was a way of saying. Finally, I mention that the source proposed for guillotine is a power link of 350 w, I think more than a hundred, the computer being bought on components.
      All the best .

  24. Adrian Gudus said

    And also for crist, to find the tutorial about Everest, write in the SEARCH box on the top right: "Testing and stress for processor and memories with everest and super pi" press Enter and you will find the tutorial

    • Hello Adrian.
      I mention that I found a source that looks like the original and I and mounted it yourself, your tutorial giving me confidence that it's not complicated. But I have a question, a curiosity. I opened the old source case (the memory) and I noticed swollen capacitors, hence the question of curiosity: if those capacitors instead (and clean dust) I can say that I have a new source? Like I have done a restore ancient source. Or there are other components in the source (even if my eye has never seen slouch much there, except some threads) components, being older, make her old just change the capacitors neintinerind source?
      Thanks for your time .

  25. It made me a k-boom on your pc and got very little smoke, and since then no longer be the source of guilt or porneste.sa can throw it PC?

  26. Super tutorial. I managed to "fix" myself various problems of my computer. Thank you very much !!!!!

  27. Hello ! I ask for scz because I allow myself to bother you with a question, a request! I don't know what happened to the laptop keyboard, I can write all the letters except the letter e, when I press the key it doesn't write the letter e, but when I open google in the field where I have to write what I want to search it appears eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee exactly as I wrote it and I can't stop it .. What can I do, please help me…. must the keyboard be changed ?? I didn't spill liquid on the laptop, I just wiped it with a cloth and a little glass solution.

    • Adrian Gudus said

      Try to hit her lightly. Looks like your "e" key has been pressed. You probably pressed it harder when you deleted it.
