You can set the speed but, they will likely stay on if you have your xbox on instant on.

Have you considered installing a small USB powered fan on the back of the unit to pull hot air out? I got one of these for my old ARRIS SB8200, which would also get really hot.

Yeah I did actually. I simply ordered a usb powered cabinate fan from Amazon and used fishing line to attach it to the top. Here's a link - https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00G059G86

Probably what has happened is that it got put away without being completely dry. I always wash my hands and dry them before I inspect them. I stick a finger from both ends and really "finger" the inside until I am confident that I know it is completely dry.

As for drying I have constructed 3 of these.

In that picture he has his case inside it, I dry mine with the insert inside as the air gets around the outside and drys that too.

Easy to make, the pvc pipe from a hardware store, 4 eyelets, cable ties, the fan is an AC Multifan S1

The fan is great, 3 settings, really fast flow of air. You can daisy chain up to 4 more fans off one plug, as it has an inline connection.

For my construction I had to remove the feet and guard on the air outflow. I used a small drill bit to get the eyelet in the pvc case. Cable tie up and then your off to go drying!

For me the fan attached makes it a bit top heavy so I placed a bit of packing material that comes in the fan box to help prop it up. As the fleshlight is inside the pvc pipe, due to it being on a flat surface it creates a natural suction forcing the air to go upwards drying the FLG.

I've not timed it, but the more complicated sleeve will take longer. I dried three sleeves, crush, gauntlet and heavenly, took less than 24 hours, I left them to dry overnight and went to work and dry when got home to put away. Setting was on max for all three.

You could if you were in a rush to dry one sleeve is to use 2 of the pvc pipes slotted into each other to air blast!

Hope this helps.

If I get a moment I'll post a picture and also update the time if I can!

I also have the primal, it does have the 2 lotus nodes and a load of nodules that will trap water like no end! Using the contraption will help.

It could be that there's a larger than expected variance in silicon quality for the Snapdragon 821 SoC that the Go uses, this somehow wasn't caught in quality control, and thus some Go units end up very prone to overheating. Basically the same phenomenon that happens with game consoles where some people's PS4's/Xbones sound like a jet engine when under heavy load, while other people's systems are normal or even very quiet. While the chip inside is the same design, differences in the quality of the exact piece of material used to produce them causes their thermal characteristics to vary and require different amounts of cooling.

Insufficient contant or bad thermal conductivity between the heatpipe and the front plate or whichever chips it's connected to on the other end could also be a culprit, although I'm not sure that replacing the thermal pad the Go uses with thermal paste is actually a good idea. Thermal pads are used instead of paste in many places for a reason, and it's not cost. Paste, due to being more liquidy, will eventually leak out from between the cooler and die or whatever it's connected to due to the materials expanding and shrinking at different rates. This is called the pump out effect. Plus, unlike a lot of electronics, the Go is moved around a lot which could further cause thermal paste to leak out after a while. So while thermal paste could help, try it only if you have the patience to re-open your Go and either re-apply the thermal paste after a while or switch back to the thermal pad.

Whatever the actual problem is, someone fucked up somewhere and I'd consider any Go that overheats during normal usage to be defective.

If you can't or don't want to return yours, you could try attaching a small 40mm or 80mm USB-powered fan to the front of the Go to provide some airflow. Props to this guy for coming up with the method. He used double-sided tape to attach some 3x8mm magnets to the front of the Go to make the fan easily detachable. The fan needs power from a full-sized USB port so you'd need a power bank to use it. But with the increased cooling, if you used a power bank with two USB outputs, you'd probably be able to charge/run off of the power bank and get an increased amount of play time out of the headset.

P.S. I don't actually have a Go yet so I haven't tested the aforementioned cooling system myself. Just unloading some info I've found while researching the Go and possible solutions to issues I might run into when I get one.

Yup, I have 2 speakers that I have plugged into my Raspberry Pi 3. I didn't use any type of AMP, I find it sounds really good already. I used Retropie for the games, it was actually pretty easy to use.

Here are the some of the things I bought:

I second the air flow suggestion for the quad. I kept mine just under my TV on a glass stand, and had several on going issues. I've since moved it to a wire rack shelf, in a room where I have a ceiling fan going 24/7. I have also bought 2 of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G059G86/) as another redditor had suggested, but I find things are much better now with the sufficient air circulation that it has so I did not need them.

It could be you didn't install the fan correctly.

I was getting those gray screens on the vive pro wireless at least as often as you were. I tried using a fan and it did nothing. I tried it again months later and installed it differently to blow air up instead of blow it down and also moved it closer to the vents. I also modified the fan to run full speed. Since I did that, I have gotten one single gray screen in about 200 hours of gameplay.

I use a pretty hefty fan (80mm). I removed the rubber things and one of the metal covers. I also cut the cable and put in a very short one to reduce weight and force it to run full speed.

Here is a picture of it.

Hardware is 2080ti, 9900k (both heavily overclocked) and MSI Meg Ace motherboard.

You may have to modify it and mount some on the outside of the case. I have one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G059G86/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You can daisy chain a couple together. And it is very quiet.

Here's the fan I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G059G86

Doesn't have variable speeds, but it works perfectly for my 800ml starter.

You could add an USB fan mounted in your enclosure and powered by your PI https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G059G86

You could use a couple of these to hold up the Wii U. I use them on my cable box. they have the padding to stand up or hold your unit up.

Look at AC Infinity fans on amazon, my synololgy wont power the internal fan for some reason so i attached this to the back and its powered by USB keeps everything nice and cool.

I have no knowledge of the Xikar fan. I put these in there.

Sorry, my man. I had such a busy month and I must have missed your reply. The next time I do an update or reboot I'll update you on the bios. You may have bought something by now but now I'm curious. I think the AMI BIOS rings a bell but honestly I just made sure it was set to auto reboot and I did a fresh install of pfsense.

I later bought this fan: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G059G86/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_SMM2DbJTP4WNM

Not sure if there is anything wrong with that but she puts out. That's for sure. Haha

I took the plastic lid off today and monitored the heat of the metal chassis underneath while I rendered some video. I was hot right where you'd expect it - over the CPU and also over the fan.

I'm thinking of buying this heatsink, attaching it with some thermal paste to the metal chassis (with a little bit of thermal adhesive too to hold it in place but not too much to make removal a PITA) and see how that works. It won't be as good as attaching right to the heat pipes but there already is some heat conduction going to the metal chassis which I'm guessing is part of the overall thermal management. And I'm not willing to cut through metal just yet.

I know that you want your NUC silent, but for my purposes I may also get this USB fan to turn on when rendering.

We'll see how it goes...
