Installing a CPU cooler is basically choosing between two forms of torture: the primal terror of applying pressure to a $500 piece of silicon until you hear concerning cracks, or the slow death by a thousand paper cuts while wrestling with installation manuals that were clearly written by someone who hates humanity. That 24-pin power connector? It requires the grip strength of a Norse god and the faith of a saint. You're pushing down on your motherboard like you're trying to break through to another dimension, all while your brain screams "STOP YOU'RE BREAKING IT" even though that's literally how it's supposed to go in. The satisfying click comes right after the terrifying flex. Meanwhile, physical papers just... bend. No $2000 hardware casualties. No existential dread. Just a gentle crease and you're done. Revolutionary concept, really.

Dracula fears the sun. Superman fears kryptonite. PC builders? They fear the forbidden bundle of doom that is the motherboard cable spaghetti. You can bench 300 pounds, survive on coffee and Stack Overflow, but the moment you see POWER SW, RESET SW, HDD LED, and POWER LED staring back at you with their tiny connectors and tinier labels, suddenly you're questioning every life choice that led you here. The manual is useless, your fingers are too big, and you're 90% sure you're about to fry a $500 motherboard because you can't tell positive from negative on a 2mm connector. It's the final boss of PC building, and it never gets easier.
