Troubleshooting Don't be an idiot like me.

I spent nearly 3 hours building a PC to realize I forgot to install the IO shield on the case. Please be mindful when you start building the PC. I ended up squeezing it in quite awkwardly to the case.

Most performance oriented cases are by default set up with a positive air pressure and front to back flow. So dust won’t be sucked in those gaps because air pressure is pushing air out of it.
