Water-cooled Steam Machine Mod Drops APU Temps by 20-30 Degrees

A Reddit user has shared a video of a water-cooled Steam Machine, claiming it's the world's first such build. The creator, Stefan Warecka, posted a short clip on Reddit showing the process, which begins with cutting open the console's cardboard box using an angle grinder. Despite the rough start, the final product features a fan-cooled radiator mounted on the back, a custom CNC-machined water block, and external tubing filled with neon-pink liquid.

Warecka reports that APU temperatures have dropped by 20-30 degrees Celsius. The video shows Cyberpunk 2077 running in the background, suggesting benchmarks may be forthcoming. A full build video is expected soon on Warecka's YouTube channel.
