    I wonder if these refurbished ones are fixed production 1 recalls

    I still have mine and it has a really bad fan issue (overheats easily) since a firmware change that reduced the fan speeds or something.

    I’d guess they’d just replace whatever part made the original fans mess up.

        I should look into that then, thanks!

        edit: based on what I could find, I think it’s disabling “updated fan controls” under system settings. Must have missed the patch where they added the option.

      It’s also worth trying to limit power draw and seeing how far you can go before it impacts performance. This game I’ve been playing went from about 18 watts to 7 watts with very little performance change and the fans run way quieter.
