"Cooling sucks? Drill a hole here and here."

I fried a graphics card in college because the electrical tape i wrapped around the custom paper clip heatsink retention clip came off and shorted something lol

I miss those days when my builds had that level of jank. Learned a lot really quickly lol. Now everything I own is impossible for me to hack into without completely fucking it up, or is so expensive that I'm just not going to try it. I used to hold a RAID 5 array together with tape. I'd never try that now. Oh, youth lol.
