My computer build now includes a piece of structural 8.5x11 printer paper.
I tracked the tapping noise to the case fan, poked at it a bit, and realized it got perfectly happy with just a bit of upward support. So, a bit of bridging between that and the top of the card cutouts just below, and I have a near-silent computer again! (Ignore the dust, that’s the next task.) #lowtechtech

structural 8.5x11 printer paper.
Load-bearing letter.
PC load-bearing letter
What the f does that mean?
It’s a joke referencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_LOAD_LETTER
Yeah, “What the F does that mean?” Is the next line Michael says in the film Office Space 😌
Oh man, I forgot about that! Guess I have to go rewatch it now.
Does it go BRRRRR- ?
Until the computer heats up enough to set fire to the paper 😅
If your PC is that hot, you have bigger issues.
Literally Fahrenheit 451
According to this article, the average temp for paper to ignite is ~230° C (or ~455° F, Fahrenheit 451 anyone?). Your PC will never reach those temps short of a serious electrical issue, and then you have bigger problems than a piece of paper burning up.
But what if his crypto keys were on that piece of paper?
If it gets that hot inside your PC, the burning paper is the last thing you’ll notice.
