Does anyone here have tested thermals with the JSAUX backplate V2? Are they better than the previous one?
I just pulled the trigger, will update once I have it installed. Wish me luck on the screen removal procedure.
Good luck, take your time and don’t use a metal spudger if it’s your first time doing it.
I had to replace mine while doing the atomic purple shell swap due to damage and impatience.
Saw a bit on the Discord server, guy tested the backplate and found that it had little appreciable thermal gain, but the vent hole over the fan made it much much louder. “Unusable without a headset,” were his exact words, “cannot recommend unless you exclusively play AAA games with headphones on”
I haven’t tested them per se since that is not what I bought the back plate for, but there is absolutely a noticable difference in the heat that radiates off the device.
Also, is the fan noise noticeable louder?
Can you check what temps you’re getting while playing/not playing?
There needs to be a magnetic heatsink to slap on there.
They have one right here.

Although I wish the design wasn’t so cheap looking.
Well damn they’re on top of it!
