  • “But you just like… screw stuff together, right? Cut the basic materials to make the parts, put it together, box it up, ship it out, right?”

    • Someone I legitimately spoke to once. We were talking about assembling TVs.

    I find that people who’ve never assembled anything more complex than Ikea furniture or something more technical than changed a pipe or switch in their home, tend to think production exists in exactly two levels: Low-tech, hand-tools-at-most labor which can be easily spun up because “anyone can do it”, and ultra-high-tech stuff like computer chips which need highly specialized factories, but where a few factories can mostly satisfy nationwide demand.





  • The trick with cooling is to ensure you have a smooth flow of air from one part of the case to the other, preferably opposite sides. Make sure your CPU coolers are blowing in the same direction as well.

    It’s a little difficult to see from this image, but it looks like you have almost all your fans - intake and outlet - on one end of the case. This could create a big dead zone at the rear of your case. Especially for your GPU, sandwiched between CPU cooler and PSU. What I would do is move one or more of those fans to the rear, make sure front, rear, and CPU fans are all blowing in the same direction, and see if that helps any.
