JI'm more concerned about thermals
MAlly is the easiest handheld to put a 2280 in
C252 usd vs 176 usd
Csheesh
FI'll agree to disagree
Fin this case
Jand I know heatsinks can be installed
MI’ve done it on my own device. Had a 4tb 2280 in my Ally for awhile.
J@Aru been playing around with your plugin and the game runs really good at 35w
Xtime to rsync over the ~/Emulation folder
CYes, that's the 90° mod, you install a 90° adapter so you can use a 2280 ssd
Jare the temps with the built in tool in the QAM accurate?
CHow was thermals?
Myou either need a slightly boosted fan profile over the default, or it could probably use a slim heat sink
Ai can give some good examples, totk runs better with vulkan rather than opengl, bayonetta 1&2 runs better with opengl rather than vulkan, its game dependent really, because of the weirdness of the engines used
CA bazillion watts in a tiny device, sheesh
Xshould I use a decky plugin to cap the TDP to be safe?
MI got thermal warnings when I’d try and transfer more than 600gb at a time unless I boosted the fan a bit
Juse @Aru 's plugin

Jbut PLEASE do this,, set minimum wattage to 4w
Jgoing under that isn't safe I think
A
Aat 3w even the deck starts to die
Jyou can do that from the QAM from decky menu
FI didn't say that Vulkan is better than OpenGL.
I compared Windows OpenGL to Linux OpenGL.
I compared Windows OpenGL to Linux OpenGL.
J4w is the lowest the ally can go safely and even thats unsupported
Jshouldn't linux openGL be better
Fcompared to Windows OpenGL, yes
CI don't know if you want to suffer the terrible battery life and heat from a 8 or 12 perf core spu in a petite device
Jwoah hold up
Jthe ally is running really cool at 35w
J80C
JI'm gonna try 40
Athats because of the new architecture, which is a bit more wattage and voltage dependent than the previous one
Ai only heard bad things about e cores, so when i check out intel, i always check first the p cores
CAlright, that's veeeeeery interesting, the Ultra 5 only losses 2 performance cores but has the same GPU, might be a much better option than the normal Z1 ally, which is btw, atrocious
A8 is the sweet spot
J80FPS guardians of the galaxy is glorious on this thing
Jman dual booting linux was a great idea
Jgetting higher TDP's than 30w on the ally is way more tedious
Jat 40w its running under 80C
Jthats if the temperature checker from the QAM is accurate
Myou mean the steam deck processor they up-marketed 
YThat’s how it started
CAnd you don't need to change the backplate, right?
MNo. Just the adapter.
Mit fits like it’s meant to be there tbh
CI'll say, yes
