the speed is fine

if its the middle slot

the first 2 16x are pcie gen 3

and the lowest is gen 2

its in the lowest

cause aesthetics

you should move it to the middle for a slight performance boost

personally i would still use the top slot though

it just doesn't look right with the gpu in the bottom ones

i plan on upgrading the gpu soon anyways in like a couple months

so ill take that into consideration once i upgrade

thanks for the tip

at least its otherwise fine

ram is in the right channels it seems

fan is in a weird spot though

one of my sticks is dead tho

of my ram

so im having g. skill gimme a new one

well they are technically in the wrong slots but the channels are right

it doesn't really matter anymore either way

early 2000s and 2010s stuff is super picky about the slots

Well it's not like my current setup is any better

Do it work doe

It does work

I can't use my good GPU because I'm afraid it bends the slot

Why no case?

i don't have a one currently

I mean I have these

but they're ugly and loud

i'll just wait till i can loan money or get my neetbux and buy a define c or something

Slap together a garbage machine with spare parts and sell it for under $200 and buy a nice case

well the problem is that all the unused psus are like 250w at best

Oof

i have some good parts laying around but nothing to power them with
