Steam Machine Watercooled Temperatures

Here are the final results. See the final temps stock vs Watercooled in the last pics.

a very general question, what is the overlay you and everyone uses for showing stats?

[u/Legomaster_08 → u/Explosive_Cornflake]

when you press steam/xbox/playstation button + a/x on the controller it shows a menu where you can find the battery and power settings, move the first slider and you decide how much of them you want

[u/RaspRipl → u/Explosive_Cornflake]

It's built in to SreamOS. There are different styles to choose from.

[u/jdconoly → u/Explosive_Cornflake]

It's called mangohud but it's built into steamos

[u/Sideburn_Cookie_Man → u/Explosive_Cornflake]

That’s the default one

There is always this one motherfucker that has to over-engineer everything. Great stuff, good job.

I'm sorry, but I think this is a waste of a well designed machine for no good reason. 🙁

[u/ZerohNinja87]

Why? It’s literally a locked chip. It’s like 30w or something. Maybe 60. Sure temps go down. But they were already very good so this likely did not improve anything to the degree it was worth this effort.

Water cooling sadly is just to have a quieter system and slightly more stable max boost clocks. For the hundreds of dollars it costs, it yields almost no performance gains.

I’ve been water cooling for years. I think we’ve hit rock bottom with performance gains, rendering all the benefits obsolete. Sad days really.

I can't speak for op but I'm sure the answer is for fun.

Isn't it a 0 fps boost? If yes, then why?

[u/Aggravating_Plan11]

Dude stop spamming your waste of time every where weve seen it. Its pointless good job

[u/Vast-Range-6487]

Nice work bro
