This morning u/Kencon2009 posted an idea of splitting the driver pin in half vertically, so I decided to try it out.

I used a wafer in between the spring and split pin to produce even pressure on both sides of the pin, and only had 1 other chamber populated with standard pins to add to the binding order.
After picking this pin about 100+ times it definately feels different. The binding order and feel changes depending on how the pin turns in the chamber. Sometimes you will get a really soft click thats barely noticable, and other times you will feel the feedback all the way to your bones. I did not have any issues with the pin pieces seperating and falling apart or getting stuck in the chamber. If we can figure out how to keep the pins from rotating, these pins will be a unique and different challenge for pickers.
I wish I had a clear lock to show better how these pins react but, all I have for now is some rough pictures. For anyone wanting to try them out, I just took a driver pin and a thin saw blade and cut evenly down the middle.
Hello, I was wondering if I can switch the cables that split into 2 on the PSU side, for example for my current CM v750 (sfx) Pin #12 MB side splits to pin #3-#11 (3.3v), could i split lets say MB #13 to those? Or is there an actual reason why they split it that way?

I'm getting more into bike touring / bike packing and I've put together a tool kit so that I can service the most common things. Its pretty reasonable in terms of weight, but I'm trying to find things that are multi purpose that can be scraped if possible.
To be able to change brake pads, I need to be able to bend the split pin that keeps the brake pads in the brake. This requires having a pliers or multitool with pliers. And I believe it is the only thing that I would need these pliers for (Aside from the generic usefulness of having pliers). Would be awesome if I could leave them behind.
I know some bikes use a bolt to hold the brake pad in place and the holes are tapped so that the screw threads into place and is secure. My brakes do not have threading on these holes. Is it possible / reasonable to thread this myself? Or am I just going to introduce the likelihood of rusting and ruin my brakes ?
Alternatively, is there something else I can use thats not a split pin?
Hello! I have been looking online but could not find an answer.
Specs:
PSU - SeaSonic PRIME Platinum 1000 W 80+ Platinum
GPU - x4 GALAX GTX 1660 Super
Each of my 1660 Supers is independently connected to an 8 pin slot.
I cannot use a splitter to connect a single 8 pin to both GPU and Riser as it will give me an error of "please power down and connect the pcie power cables."
My question is can I safely power 4 of my PCIe risers with one independentnt 8 pin connected cable split into 4?
It is in my understanding that one 8 pin cable can supply <288W and a GTX 1660 Super only uses up to a maximum of 125W. For the PCIE risers, they draw a maximum of 75W.
Would love to experiment but I would not want to burn my house down.
I haven't built a PC and this is my first time, I connected everything else with no problem but I have a 750W corsair power supply and the wires that it came with didn't have a 4 pin CPU cable, so I split one of the 8 pin CPU cables into 2 x 4 pin. Is it okay that I have an extra 4 pin connector hanging next to the 4 pin plugged in one?
My power supply is a 660W Fractal Design Ion+ Platinum 80+. I just got a 3080 FE today and realized that there is only one dedicated pcie cable that daisy chains into two 2x8 pins.
I don't have an extra cable that will allow me to fully plug into the 12 pin connector otherwise. Is using the daisy chain a really bad idea? I'm getting tons of conflicting information through my google searches and reddit.
Hello reddit
After buying my 4th case fan I realized that I only had 3 slots on my motherboard, so I bought a 3-pin y-splitter, which my plan for was to connect my two front fans into.
The issue is that when I received it, I realized that it was missing a pin in one of the two 3pin-females, and I have called customer support to confirm that it is broken.
However I tried installing it anyway since I don't want to go back to the store (I live far away from it), and it LOOKS like it's working fine.
Technically it should give the same amount of power to both fans, regardless of the missing pin in one of them, and the info about RPM should still be valid from the other female with 3pin, is this a correct assumption?
Here is a visualization of the faulty split cable: https://imgur.com/a/eS4T1JD

I'm building an Iris rev. 4, and I love the design and build so far, but one thing that I've never really cared for with split keyboards is the TRRS connection, not least because they don't latch, but mostly because of the short-on-hotswap limitation. As an audio nerd I'm a big fan of 4-pin mini-XLR, which is sometimes used in lieu of TRRS in higher-end gear, and was wondering how practical it would be to replace the TRRS sockets on my Iris boards with mini-XLR ones.
I've looked at component pricing for mini-XLR male sockets/receptacles and it's not terrible, but my main concern is board pin compatibility: the jack that comes with the board is a standard through-hole PJ-320A, and the contacts on the board fit the same arrangement, with three pins lengthwise on the "left" side (facing the jack) and one on the "right". I'm concerned that it will be... troublesome to try to rearrange the pins on something like the TRAPC4MS1X to fit that arrangement, since they run at a right angle relative to those on the PJ-320A, running along the width of the part instead of its length/depth.
Has anyone done a mod like this before? I've done quite a lot of searching, and unfortunately haven't found anything that seemed relevant. I figured r/MK would be the best place to ask.
