Yep. Fantastic doesn’t work atm. Maybe a new fan rev. from ifixit will do the trick. The Steam boot animations are fine.

Yeah thats the noise. Only workaround so far is disable updated fan curve.

Yes i have it, i get randomly (about every 60 seconds) a cracking sound on my 512GB OLED. I turned off wifi power saving in deveveloper options and this solved the issue for gaming mode but not desktop mode :(

This means nothing for now, since it was just the first test run. He will do his work and show the results in a separate video, as always.

yes, you will also feel if theres something wrong like worse performance results in more stuttering/ framedrops/ lower frames.

Its about 1-2 fps less using a (good) SD card. And much longer loading times. I belive CryoByte33 did a comparison on YT.

Try capping your cpu frequency at 2800mhz with powertools (or just disable cpu auto boost)

Heres a demonstration of the bug resulting in 35% less fps.
