Computer parts are SMALL

[CoffeeLoki67879]

I recently built my first computer after watching EVERY Linus build guide I could find. As Linus says all the time, he has small hands. I did not think about how big that would make parts like a CPU or RAM stick look. Holy shit. Parts are small. I though that a Ryzen 5 3600 was about a cm larger in length and width, ram was a cm taller and an inch longer, my Radeon 5600 XT was going to be an inch taller and 2” longer, the wraith stealth cooler from AMD was 2cm wider than it is. I was quite surprised when everything was so tiny.

That's how I felt when I built my first computer with a i7-4790K back in 2015. When I opened the CPU packaging, I could not believe how small it is!! Just imagine a Threadripper CPU.

I made the error of installing the bottom fans in my case before connecting the front IO. I don't know what was more stressful, trying to plug them in myself, or trying to direct my girlfriend to do it for me.
