I got thermal warnings when I’d try and transfer more than 600gb at a time unless I boosted the fan

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
Mnow I’m unsure if a heat sink changes things. I did not have one on mine. It’s now in my desktop PC so I couldn’t tell ya the current status.
Juh oh
CHmm IDK if I would transfer so much, I mean, my MBA only has 256 GB of storage, where would I get 600 GB 
J@matt_schwartz temps went up to like 90-93
Jat 40w
Jjust lowered it to 35w,I can already tell thats gonna be a problem right?
Jwith whatever the default fan curves on linux are
MI was doing some serious distrohopping at the time and transferring like 1.5TB of data a lot. My SD card reader was cooked a month after release
CI guess that's the case with intel, my only other experience with ecores are the A17 Pro and the M1/2, most of my tasks only use the ecores in the mac, afaik
Jyou were installing linux 1 month in?!?
Jdo you dual boot?
Jdo you know if this is normal matt?
CI wonder if they planned to do it and then backed out
Amy current intel hardware is all 10th gen, my next laptop/desktop/deck upgrade will remain amd
Mlike I said, the bios is meant to bump the temperature back down between 90-95 degrees. I’m not sure about the current state of setting TDP on Ally but it’s very possible the Decky plugin now overrules the bios limits with certain settings
CFunny enough, if you check the internals of the claw, the ally clone, the empty space where you can use a 2280 SSD, is filled by the battery
Mhence the reason I recommended leaving it alone for the most part
MThe hassle is not worth the extra 1fps
