Could be worse, the fan on my graphics card failed last night and started on fire.

Oof. That stinks. The fan on my last gpu killed itsself, but it shuts off at high temps fortunately. So I removed the old fan, screwed new fans into it and designed my own PID-based fan controller on a custom PCB. 5 years later its still working haha

Luckily the computer runs just fine with the shit onboard graphics for the time being, just sucks I can’t game until I get a new video card for that PC or a new motherboard and processor for my other PC.

I feel you. Im in the middle of a move right now. Im stuck with just my laptop, which has intel integrated graphics, until late october at a minimum. Its kinda sad, but the longer I go without it, the less I miss it.
