I had some performance problems. Suddenly, steam deck lost about 60% of its performance in games. My troubleshooting didn't help. After that, I contacted steam support. We were talking for about a week, but nothing helped, so they agreed to send me a replacement.

I have to say… The fresh vent smells even better than I remember.

Mine is about half a year old and I still love the smell. Does anyone know what it is?

Probably oils from the plastic mostly, maybe some of the coatings on the PCB.

Oh...still safe for inhalation? 🧐

VOCs definitely aren't great for you.

The dose makes the poison. Get plenty of fresh air and you'll be fine.

Thermal paste, perhaps?
