There's a third.
I would argue this is the just the second kind
"Can you stack peltiers? NVM I'm gonna try."
"Cooling sucks? Drill a hole here and here."
No joke, that was the workaround for a gaming laptop i owned in 2010 i think?
I fried a graphics card in college because the electrical tape i wrapped around the custom paper clip heatsink retention clip came off and shorted something lol
I miss those days when my builds had that level of jank. Learned a lot really quickly lol. Now everything I own is impossible for me to hack into without completely fucking it up, or is so expensive that I'm just not going to try it. I used to hold a RAID 5 array together with tape. I'd never try that now. Oh, youth lol.
I took a dremel to my $20 case to install a front fan to cool my NAS drives. Taped that sucker right to the front bit of the face, and ran it that way for years.
It's not quite as hardcore as this, so I'm not sure if I qualify for the second or third type.
Is that a toaster?
No? A modded Deskmini. This cooler fits turbo mode of the Ryzen 7 5700G.
