Amiga X5000 Maintenance and Upgrade 2022

Since 2017 my AmigaOne X5000 has been running with the same Gelid Silent 6 Fan. Since a few days, that Silent became Noisy so it was time to replace the fan. I already bought two new Silent 6 fans just in case a thing like this would happen. I also had a MSI RX 570 4GB card ready to replace the R7 250 card the X5000 came shipped with. With the RX series we can use the GPU for hardware decoding things like movies to ofload the CPU.

     

SUCCESS!! 🙂
