Valve Admits Steam Machine Red Light Was a False Overheat Warning - BIOS Fix Coming - briefly
(hx) 12:20 AM CEST - Jul,14 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Valve confirmed that the red LED overheating warning on its Steam Machine triggers too early due to a BIOS bug.

The alert currently activates at 95°C for the CPU and 90°C for the GPU, even though these temperatures are well within the custom AMD chip’s normal and safe operating range.

A BIOS update will raise the warning threshold to a uniform 100°C for both CPU and GPU, reducing unnecessary interruptions during gameplay.

The hardware will still begin throttling performance at 100°C and shut down around 105°C to protect itself if temperatures climb higher.

If you’ve seen the red light while gaming, it was most likely a false alarm rather than actual overheating.

Ffs! 95c imagine the waste of energy pouring out of that. My RTX 4060 TI on overclocking only hits 38c.

That’s inherently wrong on all accounts. Anyone knows that anything producing heat is just a waste
