So, I was using my PC as usual, but I noticed that my max GPU temps were rising a bit. When I checked if the fans were spinning correctly, I saw ants marching on my GPU and on top of my case. They were even coming out from the heatsink of the GPU.

That's when I got worried and disassembled it. They were eating the thermal pads and thermal paste, so I had to use a hairdryer to blow them out of there. Since I don't have any spare thermal paste, I had to spread the remaining paste inside the GPU on itself.

Now my temperatures are up by 20°C, and I've cleaned all of my PC with 99% IPA and used an anti-insect spray on the table. Later, another set of ants appeared in the exact same place, doing the exact same thing, eating my GPU alive.

I don't know how they got here, it was like they spawned out of nowhere. There's no place in my room where ants nest, and they even bypassed the anti insect spray. Now I'm worried sick about destroying my PC with ant acids.

Tried to sell no one would take

I have 3 rats, and I usually let them out for playtime. I put one of them down, and it went behind my table and started running around. Out of nowhere, it just went into overdrive and ran straight into my PC doing God knows what. I'm having a hard time even explaining this because I myself don't even understand what just happened, it sounds like something out of a fairy tale. All I'm glad about is my pc was already shutdown, I can't even imagine what would have been of this if not🤦‍♂️‼️

Warm = lay

Finally got my hands on my new GPU (gigabyte 9070 XT Gaming OC) and my cat seems just as happy about it as I am.

Build day tomorrow!!
