  • Not that it does you much good now, but you might’ve had a bad fan. My unit is a preorder one, and the fan wasn’t broken, but it was just… Noticable, when it was on. It wasn’t enough for me to say it was broken or anything, but I could just tell when it was running, especially at full speed.

    It didn’t bother me, because I was like wow this game is really pushing the Deck hard, I can really hear the fan. Etc etc.

    Well after a few months of hard use the fan developed a click, it was a bad bearing or something. You could make it go away by tapping it.

    Anywho to make a long story short, after getting a replacement that was DOA, and then getting a second replacement. The new fan was noticeably quiet. So quiet that I thought I had another DOA. But no, it was working perfectly. I just didn’t realize how bad the original fan was.

    So now I have a very quiet Deck, and I’m quite happy about it 😁
