Like a SteamDeck vent exhaust?

[-] whereBeWaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 5 months ago

Dude does the smell ever go away? I bought mine recently and I hated it first but now I love it.

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

I don't think it ever "goes away," it just refines over time, like a fine wine.

[-] IDew@lemm.ee 20 points 5 months ago

I've had mine for almost 2.5 years and it still smells like it. Good thing, as I cannot get enough of it

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 months ago

Pretty sure Valve issued a statement telling people not to huff their Deck exhaust. But fuck that, don't tell me how to live my life!

I assume it's like the new car smell. Pleasant or not, it's from inhaling plastic and paint particles and other chemicals as the excesses evaporate and loose pieces come loose and become airborne.

Steam Deck is probably similar. Plastics, anti-corrosion coatings on heat sink fins, trace metals and solder, inks from the PCB, maybe the occasional ion leftover if there's any micro-arcing.

I'd guess it lasts a long time because the cooling airflow continually erodes whatever is in its path, while new cars don't have that continuous erosion so eventually all the particles that were going to escape do and the ones left over are more stable.

I've had mine for years and I've never noticed either the smell or the fan noise. I don't get what people are going on about.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Maybe your fan is broken. Do you notice any wild performance variations?

Though if you're used to loud fans by desktop standards, the Steam Deck is pretty quiet compared to that. Like yeah, it's audible, but I'd describe it as loud as a loud exhale. Some desktop fans were referred to as jet engines from how loud they got.

Hey! I don't wanna hear about your hairy balls!

[-] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Someone is writing smut for Charlie.

Although I guess right now it'd be Magic instead of Yu-Gi-Oh.

Unless its that time of the month then it can resemble wet pennies
