Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.

Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.

Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.

Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.

Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

Im currently trying to install my graphics card and I got the PCIe cable in but then realized there are 2 slots and I dont have another cable that goes from the CPU/PCIe part on the power supply to the graphics card

Im trying to see now if I need to buy another one or if this other cable that goes from the 12 V 2x6 part of the power supply can be used but that cable has a part that goes into the 12 V 2x6 slot and then splits into 2 8 prong cables that could go into the graphics card and all the tutorials say not to daisy chain the cables for the graphics card so I don't know if I can use it kitty-cri

And this isn't a modular PSU, right? Honestly if it isn't and the only option is to daisy chain it I wouldn't take the chance. Better to be safe than sorry, you don't want to damage your GPU because it'll be pretty expensive to replace with how the market is right now.

The power supply is "fully modular" and i definitely won't be doing anything risky until i know for sure I won't break something stress

Im wondering if I can use the one cable I already have inserted and one of the cables from the joined cables thats connected to the 12 V and power it that way but I'm still looking on reddit and YouTube for answers

What model of power supply did you end up going with?

As an addendum to my other reply, 12V 2x6 is a new graphics card power cable standard pushed by Nvidia in the last few years because they keep making more and more power hungry cards. AMD cards like the Radeon you have are still using the 8 pin PCIe power cables. It seems that Corsair has chosen to handle the two graphics card companies using different cable standards by giving you the option of either powering an Nvidia card with the 12V 2x6 to 12V 2x6 cable or an AMD Radeon card with the 12V 2x6 to dual 8 pin PCIe cable.

Okay, and you have an XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 7600 XT, right? The single 12V 2x6 to dual 8 pin PCIe power cable will be fine. 12V 2x6 is designed to provide more power in a single cable than PCIe 8 pin. That's not daisy chaining, that's using the power supply and its supplied cables as intended.

Make sure all power cables are plugged in fully and snugly.

Just removed the old, single cable and added the cable that splits and connected the computer to my keyboard and monitor!

It's saying there's no Bootable device found so im currently trying to figure out why blob-no-thoughts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You have to have your boot media plugged in (the USB stick with your operating system installer)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think i got one of those if they didn't come with the parts I ordered kitty-cri

Also do I need to connect the SATA cable? I have an SSD and I think if I tried connecting it now I'd need to remove the graphics card

Based on the parts list you linked the other day, you have an NVME SSD, which needs to be plugged directly into your motherboard, in either of these two circled locations:

You only need the SATA cables if you want to add SATA drives, which you may want to do at some point in the future but not right now, because spinning hard drives are still cheaper per gigabyte than SSDs so they're good places to put things like your legitimately acquired games and movies and shows and all that, and those are all SATA.

But that NVME SSD, being brand new, has nothing on it. You have to put an operating system on there yourself, which is where the "no bootable device found" message comes in. You can either download a Windows installer and then figure out how to activate/steal it later or you can use a Linux distribution like PopOS with the first download button here and the instructions here. You will need a USB stick either way.

I did put in an ssd stick the other day but I don't have a USB for the operating system right now kitty-cri-screm

Im gonna get one tomorrow and ill report back!

Thank you again, as always, comrade cuddle

I sort of assume everyone has a handful of usb sticks lying around but I guess that's only true for big ol nerds nowadays
