They improved the cooling system but why there is still one fan setup.Dual fan setup -> much more less noise and more cooling.I didn’t test it OLED model yet but currently old steam deck is not usable at 15W because of noise.
People are using at 10W mode, little performance loss and noise down to acceptable level.I hope we don’t have to do this in new OLED model.
yeah but the same people stating its cooler and quieter that also show a side by side comparison for games with their own benchmarks show this “cooler” system has its fan running at the same speed as the lcd, so it must be shifting the same amount of heat or the oled’s fan wouldnt be running at the same speed. It also cant be due to running faster/better as its performance is pretty much the same and the same videos showing the benchmarks show the cpu/gpu doing pretty much the same as lcd as well.
So not sure why theres claims of it being cooler, yeah some components might be cooler/more efficient, but the end result is what heat is the fan shifting and from the videos the oled is pushing the same heat and fan speeds as the lcd.
either way, ill take a quieter fan.

from around 10th minute takes temps and records sound of lcd vs oled version
The APU is on a 6nm node instead of 7nm. It’s more efficient at the same performance level: less power, less heat. They’ve also pretty dramatically changed the layout of the internals in the OLED model, and it has better airflow now, as a result. That’s why.
yeah i understand all of that, but i also see the side by side game benchmarks showing the same cpu/gpu speeds and fan speed, if the fans of both oled and lcd are running the same then doesnt that mean both are hot enough to ramp the fans to the same speeds? if the oled is running cooler at the same performance then surely the fan should be going a bit slower due to…being cooler?
