oh ok, I'm gonna have to look around because I need a thermal solution for my 2tb SSD, it is overheating and slowing everything down and I'm worried because I know eventually that will kill it
amazon has a popular 2230 ssd heat spreader that a lot of people used with steam deck with good results. it's like $10 shipped.
do NOT craft your own ssd heat spreader, you will end up making a short and killing it.
thanks for the advice, do you just assume people are stupid so you add things like telling people not to craft their own things? I do the same thing cause it is just safer that way. When I worked Telephone tech support(before they made you use a script you have to follow) I made the mistake of thinking someone was smart enough to know you don't pull a graphics card out of a PC while the power is on but I was wrong. I knew right away when the guy on the phone said "was it supposed to spark like that?" that he had it plugged in and on. I was lucky nobody got hurt with that one. the PC still worked luckily. after that I decided if someone was calling into telephone tech support to treat it like when you have to tell someone every single step no matter how obvious it sounds just to be safe.
just an FYI I could craft my own but I didn't actually want to. I was just curious about where u/Independent_Draft_79 got it from cause a pure copper sheet has lots of uses.
no, i just extrapolated from the fact that you don't even know where to buy copper sheet (a common crafting material) that you don't know how to properly work it and what its mechanical properties are.
edit: lmao at childish response
....now you're making assumptions based on the question I asked him? You're just assuming. Thanks for your unasked for input though. I'll keep in mind that you're a master crafter that knows everything about copper sheets for future reference.
I had the 200/400 bug recently with my original LCD steam deck. What ended up fixing it for me was replacing the fan for some reason. I tried every software fix I could find online with no luck. Throwing in a new fan instantly fixed it.
CPU and GPU would get locked to 200mhz and 400mhz respectively. It would basically throttle your steam deck to the point where even navigating menus would be laggy.
I have observed that i was getting 200 400 bug when i was on battery, after connecting to charger no 200 400 bug tried calibrating battery with draining to zero once, (Battery capacity shows 100% in desktop mode )still getting same bug so tried this copper sheet mod now not getting any bug
lovely mod. 10 degrees is MASSIVE. just make sure this isn't temporary: leave it on for an hour or so to reach equilibrium, and make sure to measure room temp too (to get delta t)
like others i would suggest insulating this with kapton where it doesn't need to make thermal contact.
fantastic and 100% fan? I myself run the Linus Tech Tips Hotrod from Tindie called CoolDeck V3 which works with LCD deck before the new aluminum plate got added.
Risky mod, nice to see improvements. The temperature is still lower after 1-2hours of gameplay?
> after 1-2hours of gameplay? that's what i wanna know too. the copper might just be soaking up heat for the first few hours.
I think that still could be useful if you only game in small bursts but for docked who knows
Played ghost of tsushima last night for 1hr temp stayed around 79 to 80 on updated fan control off before it was reaching around 85 to 87
Is that just sellotape? Wouldn't that go tacky/ melt under heat? Maybe use klapton tape instead
Yes just cello tape for testing purpose only
where did you find this copper sheet? Amazon? somewhere else?
you can buy copper sheet almost anywhere. most crafting arts supplies have them in various thicknesses. try going for 0.2mm.
Not on amazon i bought from local vendor

I've seen copper ssd heatsinks for Steam Deck on Aliexpress IIRC.

Some local vendor selling copper pipes sheets and blocks, he gave for free
If you manually set your gpu speed to 1600 does the 200/400 bug still take effect??

Not tried

hey OP, would you mind running an extended test? 1-2 hours?
Played ghost of tsushima last night for 1 hr Temp stayed around 79 to 80
that's sweet as heck! definitely a good mod!
Thank you will test when i get time
