      If you're judging built guys based on knowledge, well then you need to move.... Or go on holiday some time. There's a ton of tech nerds that are also gym rats/buff people. Could be any number of things making him that built, who knows, he might handle heavy servers and install them most of the day. That being said I do agree that typically buff guys are stereotyped these days, personally I blame TV shows that show muscular frat boys on shows like love island, where it's just for the drama.

      Not really due to convection and having that much open space for air to escape , any hot air will naturally rise up and out of the case no fans needed , while if your limited to just one fan and the toatall pressure of the case pulling exhaust heat , it will accumulate faster due to those restrictions in airflow

      maybe you have to watch linus as long as i have in order to get the jokes.. but, they're not ACTUALLY recommending to get a UPS. they're saying if you get the Splave PC, which they low-key don't recommend, because, Linus mentioned 4 times about not liking the cooler in it, and also low-key mentioned that aside from the top-binned silicon, it's essentially the same as their machine, only 5% faster.... you could get 5% faster than stock just by using EVGA precision X OC and upping your video card a bit... so, i mean, 5% is literally nothing in terms of overclocking performance. (but overclocking doesn't really ever get anyone much more performance anyhow... but i think they were expecting better given that this guy is ranked number 1 in overclocking) anyway, they mentioned the UPS because they were running two 1500W (approximately) power supplies, which, together at full power, means they're going over the maximum amperage allowed on a typical home power circuit (i.e. it'll blow the breaker). he also mentions that their machine is $5100, but this guy doesn't know how much his machine is going to sell for yet.... linus throws shade at that in the end. linus basically ripped this guy a new one, but did it in a very passive aggressive way, and i think it might have been easy to miss, but i assure you, don't worry about a UPS (unless you're a business or streamer or something, but even then, nowadays, how often does your power REALLY go out? where I'm at, it almost never goes out even during storms), i also assure you that linus and team would recommend just spending your money on a water cooler and doing some overclocking yourself. Linus even says that intel and manufacturers guarantee their products will work at any ambient temperature, which he could not say the same for the Splace PC. IF that's not ripping dude a new one, i don't know what is. Trust me, Don't give this Splave PC another thought, and don't worry about the UPS slight-of-hand joke at the end there.

      Doubt it, components usually run at their peak in open air. Cases serve to protect the parts of the PC, and case fans are there to mitigate the side effect of heat buildup. With the side panel off the GPU can be exhausting its heat directly out of the case while the bottom fans feed it fresh air. They should have kept the side panel on though, but for the opposite reason, because the components are probably running cooler than normal with it off.

    It annoys me so much that all these FLOW cases have the mother board lined up in the direction where the heat sink blades on most of the equipment do not flow with the direction of air. Heat rises, you can see the path of flow is up and sideways instead of it all just flowing up.

    Power and wireless interference aside, with the side of the case off you are interrupting the optimal air flow out the back. Splave specifically mentioned it wasn't an issue with the GPU blowing into the CPU cooler. With the proper ducting in place (aka close up the case) you might not have seen some of the issues you did. It's such a fine-tuned system that interrupting the airflow the way you did will skew the results.

    If you've got bad/dirty power a UPS with automatic voltage regulation, or even just a dedicate voltage regulator, is definitely a good idea. We occasionally get power spikes bad enough to blow incandescent bulbs out of the fixture and bad brown outs. After having several devices suffer from the bad power everything very important is on a UPS with AVR and I have a higher power standalone voltage regulator for all the other electronics. They're not very expensive and can really save your devices by automatically correcting high or low voltage
