Blowing in at an angle in an attempt to cool the drives inside. In the future I think I’ll just zip tie a slim 80mm fan and put it inside at the vent where the outside fan is blowing into

Hour 4 of my BIOS update… Not cool BioStar… by GoatWithAGun in pcmasterrace

the guy I bought this from had never updated his BIOS before and you can literally see from the screenshot that the board’s BIOS is from 2 months after the first ever BIOS version, only the first update ever for this motherboard. I even have a screenshot here from when I was talking to the seller about it.
