Tell Me Why I Didn't Read The Manual
Ah, the classic equation: CPU cooler with thermal paste not properly applied + tempered glass PC case = shattered dreams and glass everywhere. The red circle is highlighting where someone forgot to remove the plastic cover from the thermal paste. That tiny mistake just cost them a $100+ case and hours of cleanup. Nothing says "I'm having a productive day" quite like your PC literally falling to pieces because you rushed through step 3 of the assembly manual. The sound of tempered glass shattering is the universe's way of saying "maybe stick to console gaming."

GASP! You forgot to remove the plastic film from your CPU cooler?! Honey, that's like trying to cool down a raging inferno with a plastic bag! Your poor processor has been SCREAMING in thermal throttled agony while you've been blissfully thinking "wow, such efficient cooling!" It's the hardware equivalent of wearing a winter coat to the beach and wondering why you're not getting a tan. That thin plastic film is the difference between your CPU living its best life and contemplating silicon retirement. Next time, peel before you seal, darling!

The ancient GPU giving a thumbs up like "I'm not dead yet, suckers!" Nothing says tech necromancy like slathering fresh thermal paste on a graphics card old enough to vote. That GPU has survived four U.S. presidencies and still runs Garry's Mod without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, it's googling "lossless scaling" like an elderly person discovering TikTok for the first time. "What's this newfangled technology? Back in my day, we rendered at native resolution and LIKED IT!"
