Steam Deck TDP

[KingStrife]

I've been watching a lot of videos of people testing games and seems the max watts that I see it around is 25-26 watts. Can it go higher or is this alone pushing it?

the SOC itself is 15w. rest is screen/WiFi and similar.

The max I have seen mine go up to is 32W keep in mind that that is total power draw and not just the APU power draw the APU max power draw is 15W

VRM section in theory is capable to reach 55W, but cooling will not bee capable to keeps temps in save margin. In future if we get full OC capability who knows how far people will push steam deck with better cooling. Steam Deck have only 45W Charger ;)
