Yes and no, I couldn’t get stable frame rates on ps3 and it wasn’t enjoyable. Like my steam deck but it’s not the “end all be all”

Formal testing no, I could tell the case plate would get hot and my understanding is when the thermal mass stabilizes at a temp the fan would run as normal, so this adds a bit more mass but in a way that’s easier for the heat to passively dissipate
Nothing noticeable the heatsink weighs 15.5 grams
To me calls are more about efficiency, I prefer to have a call and talk through a complex issue for 15 min instead of needing 5+ back and forth emails over an afternoon to get everyone on the same page.
There’s a thermal tape layer that came on the heatsink, stuck to the aluminum sheet that makes contact with the main board. It’s not as efficient as the LTT custom one I got the idea from but it does work! And no, it doesn’t fit in the case anymore
The heat sink stays cooler than just the case plate since the fins dissipate better and the fin area has less contact surface when you do, can leave my fingers on it for 10-15 seconds vs the plate at 3-5 seconds, but with that said I have to purposefully reach for it, my hand never makes contact with it on accident
I went big, mostly indie games I’ve wanted to try for awhile, mainly for playing on Steam Deck
ELDEN RING, Escape Simulator, Vampire Survivors, Mini Motorways, Only Up!, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, Celeste, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, Rogue Legacy 2, Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection, Spelunky 2, Super Meat Boy, Pogostuck, Persona 3 Portable & 4 Golden, Kindergarten 1 & 2
I’ve been playing on my 7840U (integrated graphics) laptop, 1440x900 low settings and FSR averaged around 30fps in early game, so not great but playable
