Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

I kind of think more designs should be like that. Let the GPU breathe cold air from outside the case.
There were a lot of experiments with wind tunnels and such back in the day. In the end, the difference wasn't significant enough to justify the R&D.
??? You don't wind tunnel test for thermals. That's for aerodynamics. It's well known that a GPU outside of a case runs cooler than inside.
It's why cases are tested by putting a GPU inside and reporting the thermals at idle and load. It is significant.
Maybe they didn't mean wind tunnel, but that they lit a cigarette and checked the airflow 🤷
