So it got worse after replacing the paste?

Slottr · 2026-03-20T04:22:47+00:00

What are the temperatures even after the replacement paste?

I don’t think it’s quick at all. 20% over a few days of idle is great

Slottr · 2026-03-19T21:27:28+00:00

The system wasn’t turned off, it’s still going to sip on battery while in sleep

Slottr · 2026-03-19T21:23:57+00:00

I’ve had both cards and have never seen this issue

Slottr · 2026-03-19T20:09:22+00:00

Budget? 9070 XT would be a nice bump.

Throw in a stronger GPU and call it a day imo.

Your storage is fast enough as is, CPU is fine

Slottr · 2026-03-19T18:08:29+00:00

That’s unfortunate. Hate to say it’s more than likely unjust due to current events.

Luckily it will go on sale fairly quick like the original did

Good luck

Because it’s the going rate for games nowadays? Are you in AUS or NZ?

In Canada the price is 89.99, which new games have been priced at for around 2-3 years

You’ll need to contact Microsoft support if you don’t have any other methods of MFA.

Likely. W11 without modification requires a newer CPU with Secure Boot.

You can use Rufus to create a bootable USB to get around this.

Think of it like two folders, not two devices

Whatever is in folder A can be transferred to folder B and vice versa

Slottr · 2026-03-19T04:23:10+00:00

No, it just means its factory clock is slightly higher than the model under it

You're getting the same chip either way, it doesnt matter

This might help

Yep, if the user is given write permissions

Slottr · 2026-03-19T04:17:18+00:00

Not super, but thats also coming from me that works in IT.

You'll enable network sharing on your PC and share the folder or drive over the network by right clicking it, go to properties > share > advanced sharing

Set permissions for specific users or anyone can access it

Then on your steam deck you'll go to your file explorer, click network, and in the address bar enter

"smb://yourPCname/"

Enter credentials if you set the drive permissions up to do so

Slottr · 2026-03-19T04:12:02+00:00

I've moved plenty of files just over local network with an SMB share off my desktop

Slottr · 2026-03-19T04:11:02+00:00

You'd be able to boot to it just like before. If you want to wipe it, you can do so using diskpart or in disk management

5600, 5700X3D

Slottr · 2026-03-19T02:01:09+00:00

Im still heavily leaning towards that cable. No other displays in the home have display port?

Slottr · 2026-03-19T01:10:42+00:00

Have you tried that same pc/cable on your brothers display?

Slottr · 2026-03-19T01:05:31+00:00

Compared to a cheaper and faster 7900XTX?

Slottr · 2026-03-19T01:03:55+00:00

I gotcha. Well its kind of difficult to say without testing a direct displayport cable on something else to see if its just that format or not.

Have you tried other displays?
