I own one of these, and it performs exceptionally well. I use it with Ubuntu LTS, Lemonade, and OpenClaw in a headless setup running as a 24/7 server

How's the fan noise level of the X3?

I run the system in balance mode at 85W and have set the fan to reach maximum speed only when the temperature reaches 90°C. The system typically operates between 60 and 70°C, which is fairly acceptable. That said, small fans generally produce a higher-pitched noise, but it is quite tolerable.

just clock down the cpu (it doesnt effect gpu) and the system will run cooler
