I'm constantly cranking the cocks up dude. Every chance. Sometimes its on a tight timing (like minutes before wife gets home).

But think about how cool your custom loop graphics card will look with water blocks on both sides!

While it can be frustrating, it's definitely satisfying. It does make a huge difference on graphics card temps too.

What case has a fan near the pcie power cables on a graphics card? Get some zip ties and make a ghetto fan blade guard or something man.
Mine does but I am not at home, I think Cooler Master is the manufacturer. They make cases with a big fan on the side panel that might be really close to the cards on PCI slots especially considering the clearance needed for the video cards. It has a removable guard around it though and I use full size cases so space isn't an issue for me.

The GPU situation just continues to make zero sense. At this point I think its just senseless hoarding/scalping.

Well, there's crypto, there's bored people stuck at home at not going out much with cash to burn, and there's people who've gotten multiple stimulus checks that probably didn't need it, since most people who are that into PC gaming that they can spend 500-1500 dollars on a video card are likely in the remote-eligible worker class and didn't actually lose money in the pandemic.
And there's probably just generally high demand. A ton of people skipped the 20XX cycle entirely.
So yeah, it makes sense that demand would be more than double.

I think demand is far more than double. I just built a new PC from scratch. Everything new but my SSD and my 1060. In my little corner of Europe the only cards to drop by once in a while are the top of the line 3090s and the top teir Radeons. They cost a fucking fortune and are in a very limited supply (I'm talking single hand digits). I asked if I could be put on a waiting list for a 3080 and he laughed at me. He's already got over 100 people waiting and has stopped adding more. He said "maybe" the situation will be better in the Fall. All other PC shops around are the same. Sweet feq awl except some special low end cards (Nvidia Quatro I think they're calleD), and the odd case of the very top tier at inflated prices.
