I notice the fan going pretty hard all the way through my gaming sessions. I’m curious if the Steam deck will warn me before I do damage to the machine?

I’ve had mine suddenly shut off a few times with Cyberpunk around launch. With new firmware and a probably unnecessary repaste this no longer happens. Give your deck room to breathe and you’ll be fine.
I am surprised nobody came up with a mod for watercooling the deck just for the fun of it, 'cause I’d imagine that would cancel the portability.
I honestly though Linus did a water cooled steam deck but when I went to look there wan’t one. Quite surprised actually considering all the other random cooling things I’ve botched.
That might have been a driver issue with Cyberpunk. I hear it was pretty unstable at launch. As mentioned above, there actually IS a warning message that displays, when the deck gets to hot.
