Valve confirms Steam Machine overheating warning bug, BIOS fix incoming

The current warning threshold for the CPU is 95°C and for the GPU is 90°C, but the system is activating this warning at lower temperatures. A BIOS update is forthcoming to raise these thresholds to 100°C for both CPU and GPU, aligning with the point at which the device begins to throttle performance. AI
