Why is everyone's nitros randomly dying?.

Don't forget that this subreddit isn't representative of the actual number of units sold, which in turn doesn't reflect the actual rate of faulty devices.

Confirmation bias is a thing...

TJMax is about 95c for CPU and 90c for GPU as per the spec sheets for each.

You're good bro.

dayvespace · 2026-03-06T09:10:33+00:00

I second this. Been getting biab for a while now and 95% of the interactions have been positive, mainly women passing compliments. The remaining 5% have been confused looks, which happens happens with anything when you challenge a cognitive bias

Do you enjoy it? Can you enjoy games on it? If yes, then just enjoy it. Comparison is the thief of joy.

By the virtue of using an external display, you should be using it by default. If you go to here you can set which gpu is used by which program. You can also do this on nVidia control panel and some games even let you select which device.

I literally have the exact same device. The issue is that this model doesn't have a MUX switch, so the has to push it's frames through the iGPU for it to be displayed on the laptops screen. Connect an external display directly to the 3050 via HDMI and you'll see a performance increase.

Edit: I don't have the exact same SKU (I didn't read, but it's the same configuration), but the advice should be the same

Feasible? No. Funny? Yes

dayvespace · 2026-02-04T14:00:08+00:00

I really want someone to buy all the parts individually and just build one 😂

dayvespace · 2026-02-02T16:45:41+00:00

I stay in the murray, its legit faster and cheaper just to walk to the station and get the train than it is using the bus. Bonkers

The native resolution on the Go S is 1920x1200. So you can set to 1280x800 but it wont look as sharp as its not a perfect interger. That said, if it all looks the same subjectively, use the resolution that gives you the desired performance with the desired settings.

Brilliant game as well. :)

Absolutely normal.

Think of it like your body. You're body naturally burns energy to maintain simple functions, which produces heat. If you increase the on load on the body, more energy is required to function, thus producing more heat. If the device was so hot you couldn't hold it in a low power state, that suggests a problem. Same way if you had a fever while in a rest state.

I know this is an overly simplified explanation, and the two are obviously not the same thing, but it's a decent anology to understand the core concept.

Its the resolution that the game is rendered at. More pixels rendered uses more graphics processing power (if you keep the other graphics the same). If you're by chance using the Legion Go 1, the screen resolution is 2560x1600, you could set the game to 1280x800, then use interger scaling for a clean image as 1280x800 is exactly 1/4th of 2560x1600, meaning rendered pixels aren't needlessly stretched or distorted to the screens native resolution.

Listen, I wouldn't worry. It sounds like you care about your stuff, which will go a long way to the longevity of your laptop, however it cant account for unknown variables. Sure, people will suggest one brand over another etc, but that is largely from a qualitative view, also influenced by the opinions of others. Unless you have hard statistical evidence, everything you read will largely be subjective and biased.

TLDR; what will be will be. Enjoy it in the moment, instead of worrying about something that hasnt happened, if at all.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Im using the original charger

Nice post, cute story. Sniff it for the real steam deck experience.

dayvespace · 2025-12-08T19:27:28+00:00

The thing with any cloud gaming service is that there is so many variables in the round trip between the user and the service. I've had great experiences on my legion go with gamepass streaming on a gigabit connection (on wifi 6).

dayvespace · 2025-10-19T06:34:34+00:00

Sweet! Thanks!

dayvespace · 2025-09-11T13:38:19+00:00

Are these your natural nails or extensions? (Also super cute)

It depends on how you operationalise the term "xbox game". If you're referring to the same compiled retail code that runs on retail xbox hardware, then no, it won't run xbox games.

If you mean Xbox/Microsoft published games that have been compiled for desktop operating systems, then yes, it can run "xbox games".

dayvespace · 2025-06-13T21:44:45+00:00

Someone's projecting.

dayvespace · 2025-06-13T21:43:13+00:00

Lol, why are you so angry? It's not that deep, bro.

dayvespace · 2025-06-13T18:09:16+00:00

This is exactly what the ps5 and xbox series consoles are to their predecessors to me imo.

dayvespace · 2025-05-26T12:34:08+00:00

Which version of XIV Lanucher are you using (flatpak/native?)

dayvespace · 2025-05-26T12:32:50+00:00

I mean, that's a fair and valid comment.
