The Intel NUC 13 Extreme (pour one out) has been an incredible, quiet gaming rig for a few years; particularly after replacing stock fans for Noctuas. But one component has created intermittent instability: the PCH chip. Last year I tried to "fix" the non-contactng heat sink with thermal putty, but still saw high temps under heavy load, and after a crash in Zero Company, I'm abandoning half measures.
