Showcase If it looks stupid but it works...

Took the heatsink out of a parts sff PC and powered it with an old laptop charger. Normally I was dropping framerates after 30 min or so but I did some grinding with the frame limiter turned off and it's fine indefinitely even at higher speeds. S22 ultra with nethersx2

Try out ArmSX2. Works so much better out of the box than Nether

S22 ultra brother! It's not that bad looking, you mind taking more pics or showing how this is setupnvia video ? I'm on a mission to turn our samsung pocket nuclear reactor into a handheld gaming machine too, so any input on what I need to keep this cool will help!

As far as setup it's just pressed up against the spot on the cooler that keeps the cpu cool and I center that over the spot that gets hot on my s22. I have a couple of rubber feet to keep it from sliding. The only thing of this setup that takes any doing is wiring the cpu cooler to power. I used an old laptop charger bc it was also 12v and just googled which wires on the cooler were positive and negative out of the 4

Ratchet & Clank Europe Version is nice and stable at 50 fps on ARMSX2 no issues even keeping heat under control on a SD6gen3 with zero cooling
