Court your inner chill with a PC upgrade that will make your setup quieter and more efficient. |
PC cooling methods probably sound roughly as interesting to folks who aren’t into building their own rigs as the concept of touring a museum entirely dedicated to the history of asparagus. For those of us who love to put together custom desktops like they’re assembling extremely techy Lego, though, installing a liquid cooler can be a joy. |

I can launch apps in my writing stack, execute shortcuts, insert text, and even automate some tedious, repetitive tasks. But then I started thinking about whether I really needed a dedicated macro pad for this. |
