Nope, I put it to sleep with my game running all the time. I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky, and I wake it up most mornings and evenings to tend to my freighter.
Sometimes the audio gets stuttery after a sleep cycle. Maybe twice over the past year, the deck didn’t wake up and instead rebooted.
Alcohol wipe, dry wipe, blow, wipe, blow, wipe, wipe, blow, wipe, blow, blow, blow, breath, peel, double check, blow, apply.
The new batch of optimized silicon is also nice. I under-volted mine -50mV across the board and it’s been stable so far.
Same thing happened to me after the update.
I just cranked my new deck down -50mV as well. So far everything seems stable.
The trick with the screws is to gradually back them out together, 1-2 turns at a time. All the YouTube videos tell you to take them out one at a time, but that’s poor technique. What happens is that the tension on each remaining screw increases as you remove them, and the necessary amount of torque significantly increases. It’s manageable if you have a perfect screwdriver bit, but if you don’t then the screw head strips out instead. By backing them all out gradually together, the tension remains evenly distributed across all of them.
Notice that when people post, it’s always the “last screw” that happens to be stuck?
I dunno, I run RDR2 off the micro SD card and don’t notice any stuttering. I even have a 512GB SSD and could easily move it, but there’s been no need.
I booted up my LCD deck today, after using my OLED deck for a couple weeks. The same game felt laggy, the fan noise was significant, and the track pad was frustrating to use. The whole deck felt clunkier despite being the same dimensions, due to being heavier and having a larger bezel. Interestingly, the image quality of the LCD holds up just fine, though. In a side-to-side comparison I could tell the difference, but qualitatively my game looked fine.
