ah good people I hope you enjoyed this video because over the past year or so I've been collecting these little knickknacks when I would call them not necessarily something that I use every day but these are some cool PC components you probably never heard of that could potentially be useful for your next build now the interesting thing about this entire collection is that you all tried to solve a particular issue when it comes to PC building so whether it's cable management lighting you know spacing for the GPU additional IO and USB ports etc so I'm hoping that some of these items may be beneficial to you and not really waste of time so let's dive right in alright so let's start off with something for cable management this is the EVGA power link this adapter is quite old but it reroutes the power inputs for your GPU for a cleaner look from the top so the PCI cables exit on the back of the card so keep in mind the added length of the whole GPU because of power link and also compatibility since the pegs must face down so it will work with EVGA cards and founders Edition cards as well and there is a 6-pin connector included so you can swap that in it is a $15.00 accessory so quite inexpensive but it's very basic so the EVGA logo does not light up and in my configuration the cables exiting from the bottom of the cards it doesn't look very good but it still might sue to some systems next up is the 24 pin motherboard 90 degree adapter from coolermaster that's a no bling accessory as well that is actually quite genius since let's say 99% motherboards have the 24 pin facing up and this way you avoid bending the cable for a slightly cleaner exit now the thing is I don't get why it's so expensive at 25 dollars with the built-in capacitor and that personally would love for companies to include something like that for high-end motherboards or high-end power supplies I also wish that these adapters were slightly lower profile known as bulky plastic pieces because they do introduce their own sort of compromises and by the way everything will be linked in the description below thank you very much next up is a device you probably don't need this is a wireless power and reset switch from silverstone so you plug this into your motherboard USB ports reroute the power and reset connections while also linking the case io here so Ches buttons will still work and using this remote you can wirelessly power on and reset your system the range is actually quite good because of the 2.4 gigahertz receiver the setup a simple and pretty clean too and this might be handy for wall-mounted PCs and really hard-to-reach systems and might be handy for you it is twenty dollars so not too expensive and fills in that interesting void of wireless accessories moving on we have something all ITX users will appreciate a magnetic internal USB hub from NZXT now I say I TX users because many I TX motherboards only have a single internal USB header so if you're connecting in a OH that requires USB for drivers and many other accessories this thing will save your build so it's got three USB headers plus one you connect to the motherboard and two-years be two ports for whatever accessories you might want to plug in there it is powered via molex that seems to be a common complaint but it supplies more power than Sodom and it's only twenty dollars that I'm sure many people will appreciate and they'll turn it into that is a thermal tech h200 internal hub that has basically the same functionality with three USB motherboard headers and three USB 2 ports for standard accessories but this one is SATA powered and is designs that differently so the magnet on here is much stronger and because it's magnetic and has all the parts around you can integrate it behind the case or in the main chamber as part of you know all your visual hardware it is around $23 and will definitely be handy for systems when you're adding multiple all the one coolers other accessories that need that the whole USB drivers support from the motherboard this is the way to go alright this next item is quite bizarre 120 millimeter in one fan called Mars it comes in red or black with a quality aluminium body and that's quite unique because of this transformative nature on the frame allowing you to angle and position the fan towards usually unreachable spots either delivering air or exhausting air and this particular arm allows for 360 degree rotation plus the fan has some ability as well you just have to be cautious with spinning blades and whatever on location you install this thing it has a pwm cable for control view your motherboard or you can plug this into a USB port thus opening opportunities for installation of Mars outside of the case the only crappy thing is of course the price at $60 it's quite steep for a single fan and speaking of fans if you're all about giving your system some illumination without going overboard the fan takes halos RGB fan frames are actually quite awesome so the more premium Lux frames are made of aluminum and there are $20 a piece while the normal plastic ones are about 12 but the illumination is the same they light up fan blades and the effect looks really nice with white blades but also not bad with my brown Noctua fans - they can be daisy chained together or connected directly to the fan --tx case lining or via addressable headers on your motherboard and then we've got these interesting fan dust filters from silverstone i don't like the color options but functionally they're perfect with the magnetic frame so you don't need to screw them on with anti vibration padding included and a super fine dust mesh that has very little impact on airflow but will collect all the particles they're only available on 120 Miller sizes but might be an excellent choice for some ITX systems or replacing existing dust filters and you can pick them up for around $13 and the last item on the list is a vertical PCIe GPU bracket for your case from cable mod it should fit in most cases with seven plus PCI slots and its paces the GPU away from the side panel thus temperatures should be lower versus traditional of vertical GPU alignment it comes with two angled DisplayPort cables and a short riser cable to get everything set up so you can showcase you know the full body of your graphics card and the only disadvantage here is that you're essentially blocking the rest of your PCI slots on the motherboard and it's also a $60 accessory pretty steep alright people so that is my list of weird than cool knickknacks that I've collected over time when it comes to PC components that might be worth your time but if you've discovered some strange components along your journey of PC building definitely share them in the comments below I'm Dimitri thanks so much for watching make sure to check out this other relevant content and we'll see you in the next video
