Even worse than when I got a replacement cooler for a graphics card that looked like a perfect copy of an old one, but always kept spinning at highest RPM (they've messed up the polarity or IDK).
Anyway, gave that card to friends and they like it — can't believe, there are people who don't care about that kind of noise 😂

@m0xee yeah I have ordered a framework so I'd be content with a loud laptop for a few months while I wait. I can't find a fan that matches exactly, and now I may have shorted something out being sloppy because it won't even power on to tell me it doesn't like it's fan after putting everything back together. :mastodon_oops:
