Motherboard front panel connectors should be officially standardized. These fucking things have been basically the same since the 90s, but we still have to line up all the individual wires instead of having one plug.

Oh, and fix RGB headers while we're at it. They're the flimseist fucking thing, and you shouldn't be able to use a 4 pin plug on a three pin header.

They said dumb ideas.

Also modular power supplies while we're at it thanks. 20 years and the cables still can't be reused/you have to remanage the whole damn case when doing a swap

[-] Longpork3@lemmy.nz 4 points 6 months ago

That's already a thing? I have several power supplies that have completely detachable cables allowing the psu to be swapped directly. Not sure how standardised the psu side of the cable is between manufacturers, but this does exist in some form.

They’re talking about standardisation. Unfortunately, many manufacturers use different pinouts on the psu side. Sometimes they’re identically shaped but have the polarity reversed, or 12v on a 5v rail. Pure evil…

Make the manufacturers comply with standard rgb headers. I’ve got several accessories that came with rgb headers that I have no idea what the hell they were supposed to connect to other than maybe some proprietary controller. Absurd when most any decent common mobo all use the same connector type.
