The worst part about building computers in your opinion?

[PepeUYB]

I assume we all like building computers.

 

What in your opinion is the worst part about it?

 

Troubleshooting?

Cable management?

Connection panel headers on a itx system?

Itx Systems?

 

Troubleshooting can be quite frustrating, but isn´t it also awesome to grow more knowledgable, and if so is it worth the agony of losing all your precious hair?

You´re goddamn right!

 

Might as well wait for RDNA 3 now until the prices stabilize.

the little plastic holder for the cpu... It's really hard to open and I feel like I'm defusing a bomb when I try to open it...

Choosing parts that will actually work well together, especially CPU Motherboard Cooler and PSU. Hours of reading reviews online, etc. Would be much better if manufacturers were truthful about actual compatibility so that the choice would be much easier.

Seeing if the system POSTs.

When you get finished, hit the power button, and nothing happens.

Front Panel connectors - how for the love of all the holy is there not a single plug/pin out for these. 

 

Cable management - nuff said. 

 

Everything else is kinda fun tbh. Even the troubleshooting.

Cables. They're always way too long... I get why they do it but there should be at least 2 skus for every PSU, one for house sized cases and one for normal sized cases...

for real. I've seen them... in videos... 

 

 

lol I tried everything, I just can't get the HDD led to work... the description is so god damn awful, but I'm pretty sure I've connected it like they say, everything else works too and I doubt the led is broken - extremely unlikely... 

 

but some how I found the HDD led really annoying anyways so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's like you read my mind. And front panel connectors are always all the way along the bottom of the board, often close to something in the case you can't remove and trying to fat finger them onto the right header..... For the love off all that is good....

They're trying to make it a standard connector with a 10-1 connector, and the speaker on its own header.

Praise the lord!

Hope Usb-drive bios flashbacks for every motherboard is next. Such a huge selling point; how are Asus and MSI the only ones.
