Valve’s Steam Frame is an all-in one headset for VR, PC games, and streaming

Valve has introduced the Steam Frame, a standalone VR headset with PC-streaming capabilities, set to launch in early 2026 at a price lower than the Valve Index. Key features include dual LCDs with a resolution of 2160×2160 pixels per eye, refresh rates from 72 Hz to 120 Hz (experimental up to 144 Hz), inside-out tracking with four outward-facing cameras and two inward-facing eye-tracking cameras, a modular strap and rear-battery design, and a weight of approximately 440g. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and runs on SteamOS 3, supporting Proton/FEX compatibility for non-VR Steam titles. The Steam Frame aims to eliminate the need for a gaming PC, making PC VR more accessible to a wider audience and allowing existing Steam game owners to use their current library. Valve has yet to disclose specific game compatibility and performance details for the headset.

Forget water cooling, this guy just cooled an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming CPU by spraying coolant directly onto it, and you need to see it in action

Master overclocker Roman "Der8auer" Hartung has demonstrated a spray cooling technique for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which involves applying coolant directly to the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). This method, a variant of phase-change cooling, allows the coolant to transition from liquid to gas upon contact with the heated CPU, effectively removing thermal energy. Der8auer used 3M Novec 7000 coolant, which has a boiling point of 34°C, although it will be banned in the EU later this year. The experiment consumed approximately 500ml of coolant in 15 minutes, maintaining CPU temperatures between 60-70°C during light workloads and completing the Cinebench multi-core test.
