My computer build now includes a piece of structural 8.5x11 printer paper.
I tracked the tapping noise to the case fan, poked at it a bit, and realized it got perfectly happy with just a bit of upward support. So, a bit of bridging between that and the top of the card cutouts just below, and I have a near-silent computer again! (Ignore the dust, that’s the next task.) #lowtechtech
According to this article, the average temp for paper to ignite is ~230° C (or ~455° F, Fahrenheit 451 anyone?). Your PC will never reach those temps short of a serious electrical issue, and then you have bigger problems than a piece of paper burning up.

Until the computer heats up enough to set fire to the paper 😅

But what if his crypto keys were on that piece of paper?
Then I’d say he has an even bigger issue, being an idiot
Thanks for the solid laugh! (Also, xe/xem, and another thanks both of you for reminding me to add those to the profile metadata.)
Genius!
safest piece of paper in the universe
Literally Fahrenheit 451
If your PC is that hot, you have bigger issues.
That’s a feature for another day
If it gets that hot inside your PC, the burning paper is the last thing you’ll notice.
