Started doing a deep clean of my PC and found that I had not removed the plastic from the AIO. It had been in use for 9 months. I never thought this would happen to me, with my decade of experience..

  1. Did you ever check the temps or were not of concern?

  2. Out of curiosity, what’s the temp difference now?

    Why do they even put stickers on these? Or if you have to put a sticker, at least don’t make them transparent

    What counts as a “decade of experience”? I guess everyone is bound to make mistakes in some capacity, but this is a very unfortunate mistake because it’s dangerous. I’m sorry this happened to you, but on the bright side you got lucky since your PC could’ve even caught on fire at any moment really

    How could you even tell? I mean, that’s what AIO are made for.

    I mean, I’m gonna assume I didn’t do this. It was my first time building last year. my idle temps are around 40°C and it rarely gets above 80°C when gaming.

  7. Tells you the AIO was never needed and is just a failure waiting to happen.

    This is why “I’ve been doing this for 20 years.” Means jack squat.

    You’ve been shitty at your job for 20 years

    Damn. I‘m not sure now if I did it. I know I did, but with every post and every temp too high I feel uncomfy

    I did this last year for the first time after almost two decades of building experience. While configuring my BIOS I noticed the idle temps were in the mid-60’s. I couldn’t believe it.
