I work at a repair shop, and a customer brought in a PC saying he built it himself a few years ago and that it's been overheating a lot and freezing. I started disassembling it to see what was going on… and I think I found one of the reasons — the guy literally PINCHED the pump cable under the heatsink. Insane.

Wow. Just: wow. I mean: how?
Never assume a time line. Likely it was working fine for years then he decided to change the thermal paste, quite recently, at which time he pinched the cable.
At first I thought it was just not enough paste. Then I realized….
Qué horror.
Is this the correct way to put my thermal cable on the processor?
Using fan/power cable as the paste, that’s a new one
My man seriously misunderstood thermal electric cooling
thats new
That’s amazing!
After thermal plastic stickers, now introducing thermal air
lol nice
How on earth did they manage to fuck that one up?
That is a classic!
Cable management is on point.
Did he assembled it with closed eyes in a pitch black room with legs?
