Just listen to it! If it sounds like a mini jet engine, it's working hard. If it's silent, well, maybe it's on vacation.

To check your Steam Deck's fan, go into the system settings, and then find the hardware diagnostics section. It'll show you fan speed and other cool stats!
You can use the Performance Overlay on the Steam Deck by pressing the “...” button, then navigating to the Performance tab. This gives you a real-time look at your fan's behavior.
Under the Steam button, go to Settings -> System -> Fan, and you'll be able to see the current fan speed and set preferences. Super easy!
Don't overthink it. If your Deck isn't overheating and everything runs smoothly, your fan is probably fine.
