I noticed my OLED’s fan was running a lot more than it used to, even at lower wattage amounts (~18w). At first I just assumed it was dirty fan/thermal paste, but I cleaned my fan and repasted my APU and it didn’t reallt change anything.

Since then I saw someone mention increased fan use since a recent update, so I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this as well?

    Mostly Trails in the Sky First Chapter. It is possible that I just reached more demanding parts of the game, although the power usage have really changed.

    Anyways it’s hard to say for sure, just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed something similar.

      Unfortunately, I tend not to play anything that pushes the power needs above 12W—usually something 2D, so it’s possible that I just don’t do anything that would make a noticeable change. Take my experience with a grain of salt.
