Problem
Audible motor or fan noise and rising temperatures during long sessions.

Solution
Balance FF strength, ensure airflow, and check mounting resonance.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Lower peak FF strength and excessive damping.
2. Improve ventilation around the base.
3. Add isolation between the wheel and desk to reduce resonance.
4. Take short breaks during endurance stints.
5. If abnormal heat persists, stop use and inspect.

Optional methods or tools

• Temperature monitoring with an external probe
• Foam or rubber pads to decouple vibration

Best practices or tips

• Avoid covering vents
• Do not run maximum FF continuously
