…or buy an oled one, maybe?
Is the LCD one louder than the OLED?
There was a supply shortage of fans during the launch of the LCD model. Valve solved this by shipping two types of fans until supply was restored. If you had one of the alternative fans, then your SD would have a pretty bad whine.
Though, Valve offered original replacement fans via. IFixIt soon after, so you could just buy the better fan and change it. I did.
They should’ve replaced them for free…
In addition to what the other reply said, the OLED model has lower power usage for the SoC because it’s a newer revision of the same chip, made with a newer process.
Yes, the OLED model has a more efficient processor, thus producing less heat, thus the fan runs at a lower speed, this making less noise.
but then i can’t smell it
Fan too loud? Remove it
Will work for the lifetime of the Deck.

Device overheats?
You’re using it wrong!
So digital bagpipes are somehow better?
Bagpipes are always better!
Finally, something to listen to while I huff the fumes.
OK now you’re cooking. Would this actually play sweet tunes?
If you like one loud shrill unchanging tune, sure.
