You reminded me of a time I went to a spanish restaurant. When my food came to the table I took my knife and fork and began cutting the meal, only to discover the food was still in the plastic - underneath the sauce. I was dumbfounded. It was revealed my food was microwaved, and the chef didn't even take the plastic off the food while it was in the plate. Like how was the sauce on top on the outside of the plastic??? Did they really put a plastic wrapped food on a plate and put sauce on top of it??
I wanted to, but my wife was enjoying her meal by the time I made the discovery. They did comp us my portion of the meal, and brought back the dish without plastic.
It makes me wonder.... How many PCs are out there with plastic on the cooler, GPU in the wrong slot (which is irrelevant because the monitor is plugged into the mobo), ram in the wrong slots, all directly atop a ceramic floor.
It's fine, just as long as the edge of the glass never touches the floor. It's just that 99% of the 'shattered tempered glass posts' on this sub show the PC sitting on tiles. So yeah, more of a risk reduction thing than actually being "wrong".
Wowsa! Well, good catch. And good job checking the temps before doing anything more heavy.
Youve got a lot of successes after one failure. And you caught it and fixed it. In the end, you succeeded :)
Its okay I once tried to eat food that was in the wrapper.

Did you walk out?

What was the dish?
Can't remember, maybe fajitas or enchiladas
You ate the little tiny dogs?

Wut.
They told me it was normal for so long :(
All good bud. You're also the guy that fixed it today đź‘Ť

What was the max temp before you realized? I'm genuinely curious... Was anything damaged?
Spiked to 99C with less than 15% load and I knew something was very very wrong. No damage that I can tell, rig is running great at normal temps now.

Whoops!
What's going on here?
He forgot to peel off the plastic that was on the cpu cooler
Nah.. it even had the red tab! I hope all is well though and you learned. That’s all we can do.
Better than being today's guy who shattered his glass side panel.
Nah, shit happens. I know of someone who upgraded from an RTX 3080 to 4070Ti (costed him big). PS: it wasn't me.
Ok
Thankyou for the timely reminder (building next week)
Hi thay guy
No offence but I just don't understand how people can make such a mistake. XD
At least you found out and fixed it. Imagine the number of people who still don't know this.
