My computer build now includes a piece of structural 8.5x11 printer paper.
I tracked the tapping noise to the case fan, poked at it a bit, and realized it got perfectly happy with just a bit of upward support. So, a bit of bridging between that and the top of the card cutouts just below, and I have a near-silent computer again! (Ignore the dust, that’s the next task.) #lowtechtech

Is that CPU cooler resting on your GPU or is that just the perspective messing with me? It looks rather dangerous.
I dont think so, you can tell by the shadow on the right
Ah yes you’re right!
Thanks for fielding that! Yeah, the perspective’s quite deceptive. There’s actually about an inch and a half of air between them.
