I notice the fan going pretty hard all the way through my gaming sessions. I'm curious if the Steam deck will warn me before I do damage to the machine?

There should be a warning since SteamOS v3.3: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3401924854795478414

General -Added notification when Steam Deck temperature goes outside the safe operating range

Yup, I got to see it once running Horizon Zero Dawn. It looks a bit like the "low battery" warning but in more scary colors if I remember correctly.

I've had mine suddenly shut off a few times with Cyberpunk around launch. With new firmware and a probably unnecessary repaste this no longer happens. Give your deck room to breathe and you'll be fine.

That might have been a driver issue with Cyberpunk. I hear it was pretty unstable at launch. As mentioned above, there actually IS a warning message that displays, when the deck gets to hot.
