I replaced the idiotically loud motherboard fan with a 24V 40/10 Noctua. It needs slightly longer screws than the stock ones but otherwise it’s a drop in replacement. Noise levels are much more acceptable now.

It wouldn’t be insane, but it wouldn’t be advisable as a long term solution. USB-C charging ports invariably fail, mostly because of mechanical stresses. And when they do, it’s much more sensible to replace a 10€ expansion card than the entire mobo (or the entire laptop for the competitors).

Besides, you don’t buy a FWL if you’re strapped on cash. You buy it as a gamble on the future to reduce your e-waste while keeping relevant. Plus, there are smarter ways to reduce cost, like buying your ram and ssd elsewhere.

You mean Cornwall?

Haha thanks !

I would like to say I’m used to fstab too but honestly I barely have to use it once every five years 😅

The issue was indeed from the fstab. But it was because exec was specified before users.

The games crash long before launching proton. I suspect something is fishy in the runtime or even before that.

Worst case scenario, I have to nuke this drive and start over. I’ll keep digging tho.

Good call. I’m seeing some stuff I don’t like, I’ll investigate tomorrow.

99% of the time, if a game “should run fine” and nothing happens, it’s because it’s installed on a Windows partition (NTFS or exFat).

Try moving it to a Linux partition.

If it still doesn’t work, you can start advanced troubleshooting.

I had to swap the stock fan for a Noctua since it was unbearably loud, adjust the volumetric flow and spend some time adjusting the Z-offset. I should also tension the belts a bit but it looks super non-trivial.

The SV08 has been out since at least summer. I’ve had mine since September and I’m super satisfied with it. It is not a beginners machine however, there are a couple of mandatory tweaks and upgrades to make it usable. Nothing unsurmountable but having modded the shit out of my Ender 3 helped a lot.

Unless most “relevant” answers point to a Microsoft help forum with shit answers.

I have to use windows for work and I hate this bullshit.

Links means Left in german. Same pronunciation. Bilingual play on words if you will.

Heretic with Box Jades here. They’re awesome for typing and waking my neighbors up at 3AM.

Die Hard, obviously.

As someone who lives in an extremely hard water area, citric acid is your friend. It looks like a giant kettle after all.

Oh nice, this should be what I’m looking for. Bigger energy costs but much less waste water. And available in Europe!
