Sorry but man those purple plates look soooo ugly and tacky
Yeah the metal plate and thermal pad are dumb. I wish the backplate didn’t have them.
ExtremeRate makes similar backplates without the gimmicky “heat reduction” stuff.
Any idea what the little black piece of „paper” is for in extremerate backplates? The one you pill off and stick on next to the fan
I feel like it would look better without it
They dont even do anything for heat management.
That is very wrong. Every test shows the metal pad decreases temps by about 5c under load.
Thanks for posting, I may carry my backplate over when I do my SSD swap soon from LCD to OLED.
Welcome! The only thing I didn’t do was actually screw it back in place, but it clipped perfectly so I don’t think there would be any issue using the appropriate screws.
Literally…. How…. How do you people have multiple steam decks??? This is FUCKING BULLSHIT
🤣🤣
Yeah, I think I’ve decided I’m not gonna use my JSAUX backplate on the OLED, but I’m definitely gonna miss the large back paddles :(
your puprle back plate has the same heat/stress cracks at the corners of the metal plate. that is very common with the jsaux backplate. I just noticed them on my 512.
Damn, I can’t unsee that now. 😂
That backplate gets REALLY effing hot. Almost too hot to touch. Like a fresh pop tart. I’m not surprised the plastic takes a beating there TBH.
That’s because it’s transferring heat from the internal plate to the plate in the shell so it’s transferring to the shell itself in a way the stock plate doesn’t
Oh I know. It’s just… Impressively hot? 😂
Any cooling gains?
I never really tested honestly. I actually didn’t even know this backplate had the thermal stuff when I ordered it. It certainly transfers heat but I don’t know if it actually cools the internals efficiently or not.
