Today I install the "better" sounding fan in the Steam Deck. Many Reddit users complained that they were given the Delta fan and claim it's inferior to the Huaying fan that was installed in some of the 512GB models (and may be included standard now). iFixit happens to sell this fan as a replacement so I picked that up and we're going to install that today! Is it any better?
