  • It looks like a fan header with a molex split. But more pictures would be needed to confirm 100% (A picture of where the cable connects to the motherboard in particular)

    I assume it is a fan with both a 4pin header and molex like https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1bjiuX5frK1RjSspbq6A4pFXaS/120mm-LED-Ultra-Silent-Computer-PC-Case-Fan-15-LEDs-12V-With-Rubber-Quiet-Molex-Connector.jpg You would only connect one of the ends and the other end would be left disconnected.

    My guess is that the molex end was never connected to anything and was simply tucked under the IO shield to the left or the VRM heat sink above. It was probably jostled loose during transport. You can take a look around for anything with the same size as the loose connector to see if something was plugged in there. The connector is shaped like the letter “D” where one side is flat and the other has slightly rounded corners so you can only plug it in one way. This cable is for power only so it would probably be something like a fan or a light.

    If I am correct then the cable can be left unplugged and you can tuck it somewhere to hide it or just leave it taped. It would also be unrelated to your headphone issue.


  • Games would go on sale for example 50% off and people would buy them. Then they would have a flash sale for 90% off. People who bought the game for 50% off then refunded and bought it at 90% off. This resulted in lots of refunds steam had to process. Since they couldn’t get rid of refunding games they got rid of flash sales.







  • I have been making stews lately. Takes a while to cook, but most of that time is inactive. About 20 minutes to get it started and an additional 15 minutes as it cooks. Makes a lot of food. Ingredients are simple and can be adjusted to your preference and for what is available for you. I use beef for the meat. Toss it in flour and sear it olive oil to get a good char. Take the meat out add onion and use the water that sweats from the onion to loosen the chard on the bottom of the pan from the beef. Add Garlic then tomato paste, rosemary thyme and pepper. I use better than bullion for the broth. Return the meat to the pot and let that cook at a low simmer for an hour or two. Then I add potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn. Each vegetable has its own cook time so I add them in stages. Potatoes take 40 minutes so I add them first, wait 10 minutes then add carrrots (needs 30 mintes), wait 15 minutes then add the peas and corn. 15 more minutes and it is done. Add salt to taste but that will depend on how salty your broth is and how salty you like your food. I often do need to add any salt beyond what is in the better than bullion beef broth.

    I use 1-1.5lb of beef, 1.5lb potato, 1lb carrots. 1 onion, 12oz corn 12oz peas so it makes a lot of food. The quantities are just based on package sizes that are readily available. Reheats in a microwave in 1-2 minutes depending on potion size.

    The largest cost is the beef but that can be swapped for another meat or for vegetarian options try a lentil stew. The rest of the bulk comes from vegetables that are very cheap.

    The recipe is based on an older version of the Chunky Beef Stew recipe from budget bytes. https://www.budgetbytes.com/slow-cooker-rosemary-garlic-beef-stew-slow-cooker/
