A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Also don't forget to remove the plastic film(s) they put on the CPU/Cooler and everywhere else!
I made this mistake with my latest build. 7600x with a 240mm AIO, could not work out why I was getting 65-70C at idle. Thought I'd re-seat and re-paste the cooler and when I pulled it off, the plastic was still there. Very relieved (& pretty surprised) it didn't do any serious damage!
