!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Yeah I feel like I'm too old to be removing stock coolers and replacing them on GPUs... It took enough to get me to do that with my CPU lol
Yeah, I'm with you. My current rig is parts I meticulously selected and then let sit on a table for 6 months until I gave up and took it to a local shop to be assembled.
Well, I can at least plug squarey cable into squarey hole... but it's also something I grew up doing, and I never took off a GPU HSF before, and now I'm stuck in my ways and it's spoopy...
