Detailed PC wiring guide - everything you need to know

Video Description

This is a new and improved version of this video. Updated, improved and reuploaded. In this video I'm showing you how to wire and connect up the basic PC cables in your case, with everything from the standard PC case cables (HD audio, front panel power button and reset, USB-A and USB-C connections) to wiring in your motherboard power, HDD and SSD connections, GPU power and more. I'm showing these connections outside the case, with how and where to connect these cables on the motherboard, so it's really easy to see which cables connect where, how to plug them in and what they do. Hopefully this guide will give you some helpful guidance on each of these steps, with generic connectors that are basically the same on every PC build you're likely to do. So if you've come here after watching a case guide elsewhere or are just building yourself for the first time then this should help you work out where the most important cables go. If you get stuck I also have a few other guides on specific things that might be useful and worth watching: Common Mistakes You Might be Making with Your PC Fan Setup!
