The RAM is on the back of the board so you don't need to remove the cooler or thermal paste.
Indeed. Would like to see a SSD upgrade and OS install vid.
12:55 Daddyboard went out for cigarettes 30 years ago and still has to come home
Once Jay said he was going to use the Steam machine to practice modeling all I could picture during the rest of the video was a Phil montage of Jay modeling in front of that background holding the steam machine.
RAM and SSD upgrade process are going to be the most important potential upgrade to show for most users.
Water Cooling! Water cool the GabeCube and make the JayCube.
I also want to see the RAM upgrade.
Please more coverage of the Steam Machine hardware wise. I love seeing the ingenuity of Valve and how you guys can explore and modify it.
I would like to see an SSD upgrade and steam OS install. Im probably not gonna be able to afford an SSD at this moment or a steam cube either
I loved the ifixit explosions
i REALLY wish there were 2 m2 slots, i can understand a handheld having 1 but cmon
Try to get a discrete GPU connected and see how it runs.
That BattleField 2 behind you braught some memories 😢
A liquid cooled build where the entire steam machine is showcased as a sort of brain would be cool
As a one and done solution it fits those that don't want to tinker or have a PC that's too big. Just its price that sucks thanks to the ram crisis.
If the heatsink of SSD touches the chassis, it is maybe will reduce the need for airflow above SSD? no?
Should raise the feet for more bottom flow and maybe make a front panel with a screen?
atleast when i upgraded storage on my steam deck, i just cloned the drive to a bigger one and it worked fine
Keep the Steam Machine videos coming! :) ... i'd still like to see you plop that thing down in your living room for a week tho!
Excited to see the variety of face-places that will come out over time.
