The PC I made before my current was my first SFF, and I had a lot of fun figuring out heat loads and what it means to build SFF. The Ryzen 7 3700x (65w) was just at the top of what my small Noctua CPU cooler could manage in the fractal node 202.
Then I got a steam deck and, holy heckers, that's some efficient gaming. If you play docked, that would be the ultimate low power/low heat gaming device (handheld you are so close to the source of heat that it's still hot in the summer) I think it draws 35w on peak load over time with 40w short burst max. For the whole package, incl screen! Captain Dozerman(Bill Hader) from B99 would have been proud. Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency!
