They added bright colours, a pull tab, a warning, I’m convinced they have to print a picture of a dick and balls for people to stop doing this.

It’s really hard to keep Temps down on amd CPU. You really need to use a water cooling, even though I’m against them. I’m paranoid it will leak and destroy all my components.
1. Glass side window on tile floor
2. Didn’t peel the “please remove” sticker from CPU cooler
3. HDMI cable plugged into motherboard iGPU
4. AIO radiator mounted wrong

I like how you just pasted right over the warning label, telling you to remove this first 😂😂

Was it prebuild?
How much better was it?
Seems like people are usually like *HAHA problem solved* and when they get it back together temps are only down 3-5C.
it can happen even to the best
we need a new counter

Nice fix, lol
Classic
Like brand new!
It’s kinda crazy to me that the thermal transfer is so poor just because of a thin piece of … wait I actually don’t know what that material is lol
At least you don’t have to clean the old paste off the cooler!
Common, but always ouch.
i can never understand how this is such a common mistake people make.
days since last heatsink peel fail: 0
Now you can sell it new.
I did this on my 10th or so build lol
Hey, at least it’s brand new ;)!
…
Some things are better left unshared.
That label is as evident as coffee is hot.
Always remember to take off the hard mode sticker
Rookie mistake 😂 enjoy the new cooler temps
Fuck
Just a class move i think we all done this at some point.
You’re such a silly goose, OP
So shiny
Where can I buy a thermal paste cleaner like that?

It’s wild that a piece of plastic is capable of handling temps close to boiling water
Common mistake most of us have done
