@txtardis7887 Рік тому
I know y'all are all about "going extreme", however, a straight up way to add more cooling quietly is to swap out the ole conventional fan in the Steam Deck with a Squirrel Cage variant. They produce a much greater airflow, with greater pressures, while being very quite (why A/C units use them). It would still require your retrofitting magic, but, costs and general ability for your readers to be able to follow what you are doing in their own homes is much higher.

@STORMFIRE07 Рік тому
If I have to guess that’s probably because of resistance I think, resistance increases with temperature, so you need more power to overcome the resistance, since the whole device got cooler, internal resistance of the transistors in the CPU got lower, which free up extra power which was then used for higher clock speed

!!Safety warning!! First I wanted to say I always enjoy content like this and I appreciate you guys taking time to put fun and interesting projects like this together. That being said, at 13:40 in the video it appears you used a grinding stone on the aluminum heatsink. PLEASE NEVER USE A GRINDING WHEEL FOR ALUMINUM!! Aluminum can get lodged in the porous grinding wheel and expand causing the wheel to crack or break apart causing injury. If that was a grinding wheel, please replace it and put a warning label up. Love everyone at LMG, please be safe and keep putting out the content!! 💛
@wickedwonka999 Рік тому
Ok, I don't know everything, so I'm curious. I work with sheet metal, pretty commonly aluminum. We use grinding wheels on aluminum all the time. There are wheels specifically for grinding aluminum. Are the specific aluminum grinding wheels not good enough? Or how can you be sure they aren't using one here?
