Fun fact: 1 db equates to approximately a 1.26 times difference in noise level. 3.1 db equates to approximately a 2.04 times difference in noise level. So PTM7950 can make the game run cooler while also making the fan half as loud. It’s a bigger difference than most people might think.

Also it gets better over time as the material undergoes burn-in.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, the effect of the PTM is very much within margin of errors for OLED making it unnecessary, unlike the original, so you have saved a bunch of money for people who were ambivalent. However the PTM is definitely the superior material for longevity and won't need reapplication after years.

Thank You for Testing the OLED Steam Deck with the PTM 7950. I was looking for answers on how well the new OLED did with it.

appreciate the hard work man, will definitely do this n recommend to friends

Awesome video! I think this solution + undervolting the steamdeck will collectively even more improvement thermals and performance!

I have the PTM7950 in my LCD Deck along with the Jsaux Vented Backplate and have been very satisfied with the lower temps and fan noise. Would be very interested to know how the OLED performs with the PTM + vented backplate as well.

nice to see steamdeck oled upgrade and the new Z1 extreme cpu upgrade..

Nice test, could you also do one with the jsaux vents backplate?

I think ye might have confused the phase changing bit. It goes from a paste to liquid at around 60°c which allows it to cover more surface area by filling in small gaps. That's why it works better once you do a few workloads and heat up the ptm a couple of times.

Everyone else I've heard has said it occurs at 40c

have you tried the frost sheets for the steam deck? i was curious about those i've heard many good things about those as well

Please could you tell me, can we use the old fans and cooling system in the new oled. Because the reverse the fan direction

Ow has the ptm7950 cool the OLED after 2 months? I understand that it needs a "break" before it really goes. I usually use kingpin kpx but now after having a handheld I was thinking of giving the ptm7950 a try. Thank you for doing this!

PTM last MUCH longer than normal thermal paste. So for longevity alone it’s worth it

Nice, steam deck is cool af.

wait , what's that green stuff on the original deck ? is thermal compound needed over there as well?

May I know the thickness of the thermal pad used ?

It’s not a thermal pad. It’s Honeywell PTM7950. You can get it in the video description below, or ebuy7

I wonder how a repaste with something like the Arctic MX6 compares.

I can actually vouch here. I recently just repasted my OLED with some Arctic MX that I had left over from a Ryzen 7800X3D PC build I did recenty and I have noticed a few degrees drop in temps with the Arctic. My testing wasn't as thorough though. I tested with Red Dead Redemption 2

Why didn't you clean the surrounding? It still has paste at the side will it matters?

It doesn’t matter. Also it’s not a paste it will become solid when introduced to heat

Is is possible to use it on the Legion Go too?

I wonder how much battery life increases due to lower fan speed. I wouldn't imagine it would increase much, but every minute counts.

You’re right tbh

My LCD Deck is more quiet than the oled.
