The Sama PC case comes with a fan hub/RGB controller to connect 4 fans. Also, the motherboard only has one header, and it's for the CPU.

Nice video. I've heard it could be done, but honestly I don't see too many people case-swapping SFF Optiplexes. I think this is actually the first video I've seen someone DO it. Decent choice of video card, though it might be a little on the weak side when paired with 8th gen, Maxwell is still an acceptable choice in 2024. 17:07 I'm confused, if you cut the jumper doesn't that make it null and void? What's the point here? Also, isn't there a chassis intrusion switch? My 4th-gen (3020) has one. Does the 8th/9th gen model not bother with that? I mean, it's not a big deal, and you could ignore messages about it.
@ZeRDTechGaming 2 ай бұрын
Thanks, I appreciate you watching. The GTX 970 graphics card may not be adequate for the CPU in question. A GTX 1660 graphics card would be a more suitable option. In regards to the pins, severing them will enable the computer to boot and circumvent the security measures. Conversely, if the metal remains intact, the PC will be unable to power on.
@ZeRDTechGaming Ай бұрын
Hi, you were indeed correct in a way. I tested it with another jumper cap that I did not cut. The PC still booted and bypassed the error codes just like the one I cut. Lol It seems I do not need to cut them anymore. I appreciate your feedback.
