Most programmers I know wouldn't understand what they're looking at here.

This is sysadmin humor maybe?

Yep. This is hardware related. To be fair, many programmers I know are also into self-building and more hardware-related stuff, but that's something I personally just don't know my way around well (instead I like more theoretical computer science more). So I genuinely don't know the problem here, and I think that's fine.

You get no shade from me. My only beef is with programmers who act like they are experts in all things computer when they aren't.

BTW, the issue in the picture is that the CPU cooler is attached to the wall of the case instead of the CPU. It shuts down because modern hardware will usually turn itself off when it overheats to mitigate the risk of permanent damage.
