Ironically I just posted yesterday about getting new car bits and how excited I was to be driving and today I'm feeling wildly different lmao but we move 🤪

Drove for the first time today since passing my test literally last week in my new (old) car and felt so janky with the clutch, stalled at least 3 times in the 10 minute drive purely because it feels different to the car I learned in. Thought nothing of it till both my mum and brother briefly tried my car and started saying how easy my clutch was and now I feel stupid and like a bad driver🙃

In my mind, I know I'm not a bad driver, I'm just new and I have anxiety and various other issues. And I've only ever driven my instructors car which is wayy newer with a smoother clutch that's a little more forgiving. I know it's just about getting the practice in but yeesh what a knock to my fragile confidence😅 probably doesn't help that my mental health has been in the toilet the past few days. I'm sure a lot of people have this issue at first and I'll get over it, I just felt like whinging for a second to people who probably get it😆 I may remedy the issue by doing little laps in my car around the block during some quieter times and go from there but yeah💀

So, I'm not the brightest spark when it comes to PCs. I bought a custom prebuild (not from NZXT) for a reason. Anyway.

I want to upgrade from the AMD stock cooler to a nice shiny Kraken 240 plus in my H510 Elite case.

Now, I'm aware I can't mount the radiator to the top of the PC without modding it, that's fine.

I want to mount it to the front, but what I also wanted to do was remove the two RGB fans from the front and use them to replace the two non-RGB stock fans that were already in the case at the top and back.

But upon opening everything up and having a look, I'm starting to wonder if that's even possible? Because whenever I look at other builds in the same case, people seem to put the radiator straight onto the back of the two front fans that were already there. Or am I (quite likely) just being painfully stupid here? Because if I do that then the new fans that came in the box go unused? Or am I supposed to attempt to put the new fans on the other (inner case?) side of the old ones and use the radiator screws to hold the whole lot together?

Please correct me if I'm wrong because this is already going quite poorly and it's putting me off of wanting to actually fit the damn thing altogether because I'm so damn confused💀 I'm also now wondering whether I should've bought the 280 instead of the 240😭

Basically what the title says. I've been doing lessons since March, passed theory test first try, and have a test booked for the end of September. But my instructor thinks I should try to swap with someone so I can do it sooner. Despite that, I have only just done my first mock test last week and it was abysmal to say the least. Basically failed within the first five minutes and got so many dangerous faults it's actually concerning. Prior to that, my driving had been pretty darn good if I do say so myself, but apparently doing a mock test caused me to throw my brain out of the window. So I'm now wondering whether I should try to bring my test forward or leave it where it is. I can't really afford to keep doing lessons, I have three or four left with her before I have to pay for more, and driving with my family members is out of the question, they'd both stress me out too much, that I know for a fact.

So, TLDR; what the fuck do I do?
