Fidget toys are a great way to give your hands something to do when you're thinking, but if you're anything like me, you'll want more than one of them.

21 hours ago | xda-developers.com | Tanveer Singh

Optimizing your PC's airflow is not an optional part of building a PC; it's essential to keep your system cool, silent, and performing at its potential.
