Improvised but at the same time cared enough to put 4 ties where the bolts would go. Approved.
A coworker of mine was an computer engineer in the early 2000s, but is now a warehouse director. She told me she helped her son build a new pc but it was having heating issues. I asked about fans and she said it only had 2 intake on the front with no exhaust. Told her a local shop that has cheaply priced good fans. She said computers have changed a lot in 20 years. I helped in about a week ago with choosing storage blocks, had no clue nvme even existed.
You do lose touch rather quickly. I’m a software developer, but I’m not really interested in hardware in my free time, so I honestly didn’t know what exactly to make of nvme until very recently.
The first time I saw an m.2 SSD in real life was about a year ago.
nvme did kinda feel like it arrived out of nowhere!
You can ditch the first sentence there.
Zip ties is always the solution. Period.Except if some string and paperclip is enough.
Are they though?
Are you a denier of the Zip?! HERETIC!

Zipties and brown for life.
Gotta give it to noctua for making brown cool

You’re ugly. Brown for life.
More hard drive slots? No problem! Extra vibrations are good for hard drives probably.
I can hear the case vibration in that picture lol
This isn’t a high rpm fan, it’s enough to keep the LSI card cool.
What temps were you seeing before adding the fan?
Hot to touch, and now its warn to touch.
As long as it’s not
errororcriticalto touch, you should be good.
When I was a kid, the first PC I built was a white box with a Pentium 4 HT, which was still a fairly new CPU at the time. It ran hot so I cut a hole in the side of the case, bolted a 120 MM fan in the hole, and covered it with a shroud that I think I must have fabricated with Aluminum facia.
It didn’t look pretty but it worked. And it kept my bedroom toasty in the winter.
I’d say it was the fan that solved the overheating problem, not the zip ties.
Are they the solution?
