Jokes aside, I would LOVE to see the comparison of thermals...

Darwing

Hey guys, it's been a minute since I've logged into this community however after watching the last youtube video Ugliest PC Build Ever, all jokes aside I want to see the comparison with the same hardware VS a PC thats "made properly". I loved the video but it got me thinking... 

 

Most computer "geeks" (like myself) have a tid bit of OCD when it comes to computer building and setups. I am the first to say I have a serious issue if everything isn't optimal or clean, or "juicy" as I call it (shameless plug of my build here Gold Rush). But it got me thinking, they basically did EVERYTHING against the computer code during this build "I mean it fits but..." hahaha ;)

 

so, in pure testing how does this shardy build hold up against it's optimal self in a thermal test? Does our OCD actually contribute anything other then aesthetics? if not well then does it really matter? does it really matter if we have too much thermal paste (yes I know he had a video on this its still inconclusive). 

 

Anyways I would like them to take this PC (working) against a optimized version to see if it even matters :)

Tidy, giggles.  Most probably would throw a fit if they saw the cables and inside of some of my computers.  I'm the type to put it together and not give a hoot about looks.

Think that computer bad.  I can go pull photos off a ghetto rig thread that probably put that one to shame.

Nah, its a chap in another forum that been working on a peltier cooling setup for a computer.

There a few others I come across over the years that done pretty nutty cooling setups with computer hardware.
