Can I use just this to prevent short-outs of my PC parts? What do I connect the alligator clip to? (PC Building)

the band is use to work on the inside of the pc and its just as a safetly messure to make sure you dont fry the motherboard while changing the graphics card or the psu if your not working in a grounded enviroment. its not a safetly messure for short-outs

My suggestion would be to attach it to any metal surface of your PC case, its meant to prevent any static you build up in your body to discharge on sensitive components of the pc.

It can yes help prevent but to go even further try not to work on carpet and stay on a nice dry surface

If you mean the short versus the longer slots (X1 or X 16) it doesn't matter.It is only going to draw the power that it needs because the connectors are only going to connect in a X1 (short slot) mode. The main issue is that you connect the card to an internal power supply, either the Molex connector or the SATA style connector; whichever one will fit. My suggestion is to install it in one of the X1 (short) slots and save the longer slots for something like a video card. Windows 7 will find drivers for it but it's a good idea to use the driver disk that came with it. You're not going to get super blazing speed unless you have some super blazing adapter or protocol installed which most USB 3.0 devices do not have. However, I have been very happy with this device even though I know I'm not going to get the full throughput that is commonly advertised for USB 3.0. You have to read the advertisements carefully because they say UP TO 400+ megabits per second.

I believe this is made by Bestec, however you probably should contact the seller for specific information from them. In general, from my extensive work in pc hardware repair, any power supply that fulfills the basic requirements of the system for power, form factor, and connectors should work, unless you have a very unique system that is not mainstream. Minor differences in part nmber or revisions make no difference. That's just my experience though.

Hi, This unit comes with alligator clips only. For this unit, it is the only option. Thanks, Renogy TO

Thanks for the heads up. That was actually the first thing I saw before I started calling tech support. That didn't work for me. It may work for you, though. I'll post on here to let you know if I have any luck with the tech swapping out my mainboard next week.

I have found that for most part(80 plus % of time), as long a RAM ratings(PC3 10600) match you can mix vendor products. It is however not a perfect science and sometimes you need at last two of the same vendors products in your appropriate RAM slots or need to put the other RAM modules you are using in consecutive order in order for the non-matching module to be recognized by your system. If I understand your note, you have 32 G of ram already which is a lot, so I assume a gaming environment since you seem to want more. As long as you have the slots, you should be fine though.

It's not good for that due to the bits being too small for most PC screws, meaning you are likely to strip the screw heads or damage the bits. Most PC screws use a philips #1 or #2. Some very tiny video card or northbridge heatsink/fan assemblies use a philips #00 or #0, but most people don't disassemble their heatsinks... it's not a normal part of building or repairing a PC unless you need to lube a video or northbridge fan because the bearing in it is worn or dried out of lube.

I'm not much of a techie, so I had to Google to see what this is! Wikipedia shows a blue, 15-pin connector. There IS one of these on the back, labeled "RBG/PC." I hope this is helpful.

Read up on the connector.... just buy two of the screw-in pieces and you can just clip from one to the other very quickly.

You could probably do that although I wouldn't advise it. The heat build up is the problem and it might get a bit too hot unless you have a really good PWM and good heatsink.

I would use the proper insulated Alligator Clips. I would not use this for insulating for Safety.

Provided you have the correct slot open, yes, but I would suggest getting a newer card. This one is great for boosting performance of older computers, but newer ones not so much.

i would say that would be a no from my understanding on how this is built...don't own it yet but i don't see how they could design it that way (different adapters and this is only one slot) Check out something called bytetec or whatever on newegg. It has Two different IDE if i remember. Not if you get it it has some funky order of operation to work. Like plug in driver than power than usb or driver usb power or something weird.

Yes, and I purchased it for that purpose. Be careful when doing custom pc cabling, as you can damage the parts easily if you connect the wrong voltage or short something. Use the correct crimp tools and connectors/pins, refer to your power supply and component pinouts to confirm wire arrangement, and never splice cables.

The alligator clips connect by an allen clip / plug so you can connect another connection that way.

Did you email the seller? I search Amazon and found a few Adapters made for your PC.
