Noctua had a couple of other interesting notes on the Framework Desktop's cooling system for people looking to make the system run cooler or quieter. First, Noctua noticed some temperature improvements when adding an 80 mm exhaust fan to the front of the system-this is supported, but it isn't the default cooling configuration-but found that the extra noise it added was disproportionate to the cooling benefit it provided.

This combo matches the simplicity of a docked Steam Deck, but it's so much more powerful. And while a Framework Desktop isn't as portable as a handheld - or even a laptop - it's easy to move from room to room. I've even taken to working from it at my desk during the day, then moving it to the living room for after-hours game time. Sometimes you don't want to play games in the same place you just worked for nine hours.
