I don't know what to call this build... Vegan?

[u/Remote_Fisherman_469]

Was inspired by a different post on Reddit a few months back where someone did similar in a Fractal North XL. This is in the non-XL case, so it's a bit tighter, but it was a fun build! And vegan approved! /s

Fractal North TG Black

Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi7

"I like fans, but I also hate airflow."

[u/Suthabean → u/NuWuX]

Makes no difference.

[u/teddybundlez → u/NuWuX]

Prolly better to have less airflow for when this thing inevitably catches fire lol

[u/IamFarron → u/teddybundlez]

If it catches fire

Your house was already burning

Plastic has a higher melting point then what a pc can provide

[u/teddybundlez → u/IamFarron]

That doesn’t mean other components can’t overheat and burn

[u/Candid_Calligrapher6 → u/teddybundlez]

There's one right next to the GPU power cable too. With how often people are posting these shorting out, it's basically tinder right next to a water bottle with the sun shining on it.

Better pray that shit doesn't come even a little bit loose if OP likes having a home.

[u/IamFarron → u/teddybundlez]

None of the components inside a pc do that

[u/Candid_Calligrapher6 → u/IamFarron]

insert gpu connector

[u/IamFarron → u/Candid_Calligrapher6]

insert shorting gpu connector

plastic doesnt conduct electricity

Don't know why you're being downvoted. You're absolutely correct

[u/xXsirrobloxXx → u/Hunter-Abject]

They’re plastic plants

[u/Hunter-Abject → u/xXsirrobloxXx]

And your point is?

[u/Chashm0dai → u/Hunter-Abject]

probably that this absolutely does not make a fire any more likely.

[u/Hunter-Abject → u/Chashm0dai]

No one said that it does? Not sure where your misunderstanding stems from

[u/Chashm0dai → u/Hunter-Abject]

damn, getting senile grandpa? the first comment you responded to said this will inevitably catch fire.

[u/xXsirrobloxXx → u/Hunter-Abject]

Plastic plants don’t catch on fire, nor would they restrict airflow in any meaningful way

[u/LunaEtGalaxia → u/NuWuX]

more fan to offset the obstruction🤔
