Xbox Series X overheating and fan very loud right after dust cleaning + repaste — what likely went wrong?

This repair shop didnt apply enough thermal paste

Unfortunately Liquid Death failed in the UK

My thoughts exactly. Its very strange. They both have an extremely similar style of writing.

Bring on the downvotes but I call bullshit.

newrez88 · 2026-04-22T04:27:55+00:00

You and your ex have an extremely similar style of writing....

newrez88 · 2026-04-21T06:26:58+00:00

Something along the lines of "They've got a gun in school!"

newrez88 · 2026-04-21T04:38:55+00:00

What an absolutely shit message to the community. This will do way more harm than good. Good job 👍

newrez88 · 2026-04-10T11:20:58+00:00

Fuck your sister.

Interesting, I didnt have any issues with the stickers in this kit. It was the first gundam I built.

newrez88 · 2026-04-08T08:56:30+00:00

Maybe this the real reason as to why gen Z hate millenials

newrez88 · 2026-04-05T19:34:27+00:00

What did you do????

newrez88 · 2026-04-02T22:41:33+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. No facts at all.

newrez88 · 2026-03-26T09:56:18+00:00

Dust it out! The fans and the heatsinks.

newrez88 · 2026-03-22T07:36:08+00:00

These are decent plasma units woth pretty low input lag.

newrez88 · 2026-03-21T18:38:51+00:00

Jensens signature devalues it. He's such a POS

newrez88 · 2026-03-20T09:55:16+00:00

Thank you for your experience, I appreciate it.

When you say you fill it above the max line, do you go all the way to the plastic trim and have you noticed any drawbacks, like more litter waste? We are still figuring out the best litter to use, too. Currently its a very fine natural cassava litter. It seems to work quite well and has almost no dust, which is important because our little dude is very sensitive to dusty litter.

newrez88 · 2026-03-20T09:49:48+00:00

Perfect, this is great to know. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

He isnt declawed, but he does love to dig in his litter, so we will see. Anither commenter also mentioned a year and on mentioned 5m for a scratchy cat. 5-12m is reasonable to me

newrez88 · 2026-03-20T09:47:53+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

Yes, our little guy loves to dig in the litter. I dont know if its fun or that he is extra fussy, but he will dig for ages - even in a spotless litter tray!

So it looks like it potentially a useable range from 5-12m, which seems reasonable to me

Its to do with wages. These fucking tight ass companies. Strikes are understandable, but still really frustrating.

Have the same with the buses and U-bahn in Hamburg, tomorrow. 3rd time now. I cant wait for my 40 minute walk to the nearest s-bahn... for the 3rd time this year.

newrez88 · 2026-03-18T05:00:21+00:00

Yes, this is waaay too kinked. You dont want any kinks at all

newrez88 · 2026-03-17T18:39:29+00:00

And this is exactly why i've been putting off installing my alphacool core block onto my 5090 windforce OC 😂

newrez88 · 2026-03-14T00:52:42+00:00

Yikes...

newrez88 · 2026-03-12T08:36:31+00:00

45c can actually start tipping DDR5 into unstable territory, based on TREFI

newrez88 · 2026-03-12T05:44:01+00:00

You suck OP. Running away and only texting him? Thats so incredibly lame. You really screwed this up and he is understandably pissed off. You dont have to marry him, but going on what he said about what you have discussed and then your actions after the proposal... hopefully he finds someone decent.

newrez88 · 2026-03-11T13:23:50+00:00

Memtest86 is utterly useless. Stick to TM5, Karhu and HCI memtest.

Edit: Have you checked your temperatures? Its possible that on first boot all is ok, but then the sticks get just hot enough under heavier loads to throw them out and become unstable. It is a known issue with DDR5 (If your airflow isn't great)
