I never get used to it I've been mind blown from gamepass in my phone for 2 yrs just got my steam deck and it's insane . 🤯. I've learned so much lol .

@cryobyte33 11 месяцев назад

As a note about the vented backplate: 1. I tested VRMs, ICs, the SSD and the RAM for temperatures with the vented backplate and saw less than 1 degree difference from the stock backplate. 2. A lot of air still gets taken in through the rear vent, even with the vented backplate, so I have very few concerns with device longevity, but wanted to be fully transparent! Edit: I used the "sensors" command for SSD and motherboard temperatures, spot checked with the other results I gathered from MangoHUD. The ICs and VRMs were a bit more difficult. I used a temperature probe wired through the back vent to measure the surface temperatures, and verified its accuracy with a backplate-off IR thermometer test. Obviously the backplate-off results are cooler, but I verified that the probe was accurate that way.

@bits2646 11 месяцев назад

OK that's the answer I was looking for :)

@Meninem_ 11 месяцев назад

Finally bro, thank you for relieving my stress with the vented back plate. I bought it but started to think about how tf air passively cools the Ics, ram, etc

@lanydaen2702 11 месяцев назад

I love this video, but I wish you went into as much detail about your validation of all critical component temperatures as you did with the rest of the testing methodology. The airflow the way Valve designed it is very much needed to keep things like the charging IC and MEM4 within safe temperatures, as per GN's analysis. While I am definitely open to the idea that the JSAUX backplate could be an improvement all around and would love the performance/aucoustic gains, I would need some more details than (crudely put, I am sorry) "trust me, I did some testing and it all seemed fine to me" in a comment. It seems like you actually did some thermocouple testing, I would have love it if that was included in the video! I'd love to modify my Deck in this way, but as it stands the details as to the thermal safety of doing so just aren't enough for me to risk my Deck.

@Frencho9 11 месяцев назад

👍 Thanks!

@GogOlo4 11 месяцев назад

Your videos are really cool! But what about the power consumption? If the SoC has more headroom in terms of temperature and therefore keeps the clock more stable, it should also consume a little more power, right? Or is that compensated by the lower power consumption of the slower rotating fan?

@jompkins 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video! Some dB(A) info for you: - This measurement is on a logarithmic scale - Every 10 dBA is equivalent to a doubling of sound pressure. - Example: 2.7dBA is NOT 2.7x louder - that's closer to 30% louder IF measuring the exact same tone. - Example: an 80 dBA sound is 4X "louder" than a 60dBA one. This is the difference between a normal conversation face to face and a movie theater. - dBA is a measure of sound pressure - not necessarily perceived volume, and: - Higher frequencies will generally sound much louder to us than lower ones at the exact same dBA measurement.

@bjjblackbelttodd 11 месяцев назад

Kyle, another great video. I'd like to share my setup, experience and also ask a couple questions. First, I am running your CryoUtilties and followed your excellent Undervolt & Overclock video. My best stable setup was UV = 40/30/40: OC = CPU 3950 / GPU 1800 : TDP = 17 Watts. After replacing my back plate with the newest JSAUX, my current stable setup is UV = 40/20/40: OC = CPU 4300 / GPU 2100: TDP = 20 Watts. The back plate made a monster difference in deck temps. Second, I've used a few different tools for benchmarking & stress testing (cpu-x, Superposition, gtkstresstesting (locks up on me) & mprime) however, I've never seen my CPU run @ more than 4058 or my GPU @ over 2000. So, it doesn't seem to matter if I tweak the BIOS settings above 4000 & 2000 respectively. My next step is to crank up TDP to see if it makes a difference. Any thoughts on a better tools for benchmarking or what I may be doing wrong? Temps at my current config are low 70's to low 80's while pushing the deck hard, seems there's room for more juice.

Dude as soon as you said 50 hours I had to comment, thank you, in advance!

@conza1989 11 месяцев назад

Great video, watched the entire thing, I do have a comment about the backplate though. I'd be interested to know if it could be resealed, how it would perform then in comparison to the stock plate. The negative pressure you point out, according to Gamer's Nexus, that allows area to be pulled over the battery circuit which if it doesn't do that, may be long term implications and could cause damage due to running at higher, possibly out of spec temperatures. If the newer backplate's, fan vent, was sealed, you may get the best of both worlds, and address the dust and noise concerns. Worth considering for sure - looking forward to the block testing :)

That's insane. You are already creating material at the Gamer Nexus level. I hope all the best with the channel and the new life in the US.

Would you consider making a follow up video on this when used in the long run? As you stated, there *could* be issues with removed airflow to other components, but it's probably impossible to tell in such a short amount of time. Would be interesting to see how or if it changes with time.

@cryobyte33 11 месяцев назад

I might be able to later, but I might be doing other mods in the meantime so it'd be hard to isolate changes. What I can tell you, though, is that: 1. I tested VRMs, ICs, the SSD and the RAM for temperatures with the vented backplate and saw less than 1 degree difference from the stock backplate 2. A lot of air still gets taken in through the rear vent, even with the vented backplate. Hopefully this alleviates some of your concerns, thank you for watching!

@jhooGs 11 месяцев назад

@@cryobyte33 would this less than 1 degree difference in internal components be enough to cause some kind of damage?

@cryobyte33 11 месяцев назад

@@jhooGs Nope, not by any stretch of the imagination! You'd likely need a 8C+ difference over a long period, or 15C+ in the shorter term to make a significant difference of any sort.

Installed the vented backplate on my delta fan deck, and also added the clip on fan. Deck runs cooler and the little leg on the clipon fan does work well as a stand. It's not fallen over, surprisingly.

@Frehgin 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this video, I will be looking into the ptm7950 thermal pads, sticking with the stock back plate believing in the air flow pattern valve went with.

@cryobyte33 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching, nothing wrong with that! The negative pressure flow that Valve went with is definitely great and well-researched, but falls over a little bit when pushing more than 15w into the APU. Regardless, it's great that we have the option to use whichever we want 😁

@HekaWaset 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video. I have been on a cooling odyssee ever since i bought the deck myself. I tried out all the methods you demostrate in this vid, its really good to have you coming up with pretty much the same results. Cheers mate, keep up the awesomeness. Edit: With that being said, the weirdest thing: I spent half my time in a desert country, andwhen I'm there the old JSAUX backplate combined with a magnetic fan is what worked out best for me. Not so when I am back in western europe though. Also, there are concerns with JSAUX new backplate in regards to internal airflow and cooling of other elements, specifically the SSD. I even think to remember that Valve had once mentioned waz back that this was the reason for the absence of a second vent in the stock configuration.

@cryobyte33 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and for sharing your results! The locational difference is almost certainly humidity, with drier air you'd need more fan/watt to keep temperatures down. As for the new backplate: 1. I tested VRMs, ICs, the SSD and the RAM for temperatures with the vented backplate and saw less than 1 degree difference from the stock backplate. 2. A lot of air still gets taken in through the rear vent, even with the vented backplate, so I have very few concerns with device longevity. Hopefully this helps 😁

@chamamemestre 11 месяцев назад

This is so cool, thank you for having the JSAUX. I have both, although I noticed that JSAUX might have taken into account one of my emails to them, because the RGB backplate (still hasn't arrived, so I can't say for sure), looks like, according to the images on their website, to have a section cut-out on the thermal pad to allow for the original Valve fluid dynamics diagram. If true, it will help a lot. I have also got a cheap (from Amazon) aluminium heatsink (40x40x11) with thermal adhesive to directly put over the aluminium backplate. This setup is perfect to use with the JSAUX also new RGB hub. I know it sounds like an ad lol, but I am just really excited for it to arrive (September according to their website).

@cryobyte33 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching! I love JSAUX products thus far and don't have many complaints. I don't have an RGB plate, but hope to get one after I'm in the US to test.

@damienc7303 11 месяцев назад

Watched this video twice. And i think i'll go with the thermal pad and backplate. If I can cut down the noise when playing in bed while the wife tries to sleep, then it's absolutely worth it. Thanks a lot !
