This deserves a proper thread rather than just a hot take.

Real answers from people here are usually more useful than search results.

Looking for genuine experience rather than what sounds good on paper.

The questions worth asking are rarely the ones with clean answers, which is why forums are better than search engines for this.

Let me know what you think.

A lot depends on who is making the claim and what they are trying to sell. It is worth looking at who benefits from a particular framing before accepting it.

Bit fiddly but that is the right approach. Buy slightly more materials than you need, you will always use them.

Basically my experience exactly. I always check temperatures and disk health first before anything else.

Worth trying before anything more drastic.

[SpinorWave]

I don't know about that. Nice one.

[Aaron]

Spot on. Thanks for that.

[QubitZero13]

That is my read on it too. Happy to help further if you get stuck.

[DecentBloke]

I had been looking at it the wrong way I think. That helps a lot actually.
