I recently got my Nexus 5x back from Carphone Warehouse. This follows the sudden bootloop of my Nexus 5x in November. They replaced the motherboard as it was still under its 2 year warranty. I was hoping they would just refund me for it, as I bought the Google Pixel2 on its launch.
Got my Nexus5x back, unsure what to do with it. Maybe a backup phone and sell my nexus5, sell it on ebay?

But it will do for now, till it happens again and I’ll be demanding more. Right now its a spare/backup phone with my pay-as-you-go 3 sim inside. I did pause to think if I should upgrade to Android Oreo, but decided I should do it.
Wondering if I should upgrade to Android 8 "Oreo" on my @GoogleNexus5x ? Since thats what caused the motherboard to fry last time?

In the mean while its interesting to see some of the solutions people have come up with including this one using salty ice to keep the CPU cool.
