With the summer season, it’s getting harder to save electronic devices from high temperatures. Especially the fanless devices are in trouble for the summer. It’s not too difficult to make improvements for desktop computers or most gaming devices. But hand consoles like Steam Deck don’t include a powerful cooling system. Valve warned the users last week due to the high temperatures, but it’s not so easy to feel the critical temperature while playing. With a smart move, Valve brings a SteamOS update for the Steam Deck devices, and it’s an update that could save your console.
High temperature isn’t something we want while playing. It doesn’t just warm our hands; it also harms electronic devices. Even if they don’t get broken, the electronic and electrical parts might get damaged, and their life might be shorter than you expected. Valve’s new SteamOS software update doesn’t save your device technically, but it helps you follow the directions while it gets hot and hot.
Latest SteamOS Update Warns You About The Steam Deck’s Temperature
You must download and install the latest update to use the mentioned feature. You’ll get notified when your Steam Deck gets overheated when you get the latest system software. Once your device gets unhealthy temperatures, you should stop playing and let the console get colder. Especially if you’re playing outside or your room is too hot, you should take the console somewhere in normal temperatures. You might think putting the console in a fridge is a solution, but it’s not. The low temperatures are also problems for the electronic device because they’re optimized to work with a room’s temperature.
That SteamOS update is named SteamOS 3.3, and many changes became available. You can reach the full change list from this link. And don’t forget to install it if you face the sun’s bad side these days.
