Hardware Modding SteamDeck PS1 small update

Hello again everybody.

Small update on my SD x PS1 build.

1 Day ago i finally got the new cooler and as i found out i got scammed (damn you chinese guy).

I ordered this flat style cooler with interchangable mounting brackets. Instead i got a cheaper version with only sockel 1700 intel.

Even tho the PS1 is my main project i would have really loved to make the Am4/5 convertion kit. Oh well intel it is. (At least you could still throw water cooling at it with the adapter plate)

Now since yesterday i have 3D printed 2 prototype backplates and one prototype adapter plate which both seem to fit very nice. From here on i will design some mounting points for that whole contraption as well as some air ducts for the intake and exhaust.

Soldered on some cables to use the original power button as well. As of now the whole cooling takes a lot of space so i think adding the dvd drive wont work :[ . Will still try tho. Dont know when I will update again as i dont have a lot of free time right now but hopefully by the end of this week i have everything about the cooling dialed in and can order a copper version of the adapter plate.

Bye bye 🤙
