    Thank you! I ended up adding more fans after the build was done, so I think I fixed whatever issues I was having. I’ll definitely try those two programs tho, as Wine still refuses to work…

      Awesome! I haven’t had a need for it, but Winboat supposedly uses actual Windows code and not just translation layers; since it’s new, it’s not yet suitable for gaming, but it’s supposed to be a good option for problematic Windows software.

      Another thing you might look into is Cooler Control for managing your fans. Heat seems like it’s a bit more challenging to manage on SFF builds, so it’s handy to be able to control how and when fans are active.

        I’ll definitely give Winboat a try, since I need to get MP3tag and Clip Studio Paint working at some point. I’ll also install Cooler Control, just in case. Thank you so much for the help!
