Steam Deck Tools

Installing Windows on Steam Deck comes with the advantage that now you can have full control over the Steam games library, including the non-native games. If you have decided to install Windows, then we're sure you want to make the most of it.

Features:

• Fan Control: Allows you to control the fan speed on your Steam Deck.


• Performance Overlay: View FPS and battery values in multiple modes.


• Power Control: Manage various aspects of the app's appearance and functionality.

The Steam Deck Tools is an experimental set of tools that enable you to use additional features native to Windows on Steam Deck. Some notable tools included are Fan Control, Performance Overlay, and Power Control. Please note that the latter two require Rivatuner Statistics Server Download to function properly, along with the installation of OSD specific apps like MSI Afterburner.

The Fan Control tool is firmware specific and does not display the GPU temperature, potentially leading to overheating issues. While the temperature may be similar to the CPU temp value, its reliability is questionable and could result in device overheating.

The Performance Overlay feature provides various modes for viewing FPS and battery values. Users can choose from minimal view, just FPS, detailed, or full view options. Toggle through the modes using the F11+Shift combination to select the most suitable one for your needs.

The Power Control utility allows you to customize settings related to volume, refresh rate, brightness, FPS limit, resolution, TDP, and SMT within the app. The tool primarily functions during graphics rendering, although the settings remain accessible at all times.

In addition to these features, Steam Deck Tools supports SWICD configuration. However, using this configuration may result in glitches and errors if double input is utilized. The developer provides guidance on keymapping on the homepage.
