The New Heatsink Backplate From JSAUX Was NOT What I Expected...The Best/Worst ROG ALLY Backplate? 

I'm here for the long videos ❤ it's better that way 🙏🏽 no apologies needed

was kinda hoping this wouldve been a good product when I saw that thermal plate. lol maybe they'll make another revision with a more active cooling design.

Thanks for the video. I had bought the Jsaux heatsink and was going to try to put it on while keeping the HandheldDIY back shell on... but it looks like the best results came from keeping the thermal pad on and not using the Jsaux heat sink.... that's a surprise to me!

I got this a few days ago! Didn’t do any dedicated tests but definitely brought down the temps below 80 when I was getting 90 before hand! Mine didn’t flop out of place. The thermal pads stick in place pretty solid . Maybe you just got a bad one. I’m enjoying the product .

The reason I picked the jsaux clear back over the handhelddiy was because the bottom edge on my diy shell was sharp and dug into my palms. The jsaux isnt perfect either though.

A combination of both the vent that came in with the back plate J whatever it’s called and the last one tested would have been a good idea as it would have helped cool both passively through the added heatsink and the metal vent on the actual backplate

What about both combined? Jsaux heatsink with handheld diy backplate? Surely it would conduct heat away from the cpu better than the massively chonky thermal pad. Love the video’s

i made me own with same back plate and a gigabyte heatsink and some serious thermal pads....... works a treat! max CPU with CPU boost on is 84c, never seen the GPU over 66c hahaha.

which Logitech mouse is that you using ?

have an ignorant/wierd question. judging by your content hopefully you or your community can help. so i noticed previously if i set up a custom fan curve on armory crate it then provides a additional option within the command center (manual with sliders). but if i dont ever create a custom that never shows up which i prefer(just shows 10,15,25) is there a way for me to disable it showing up in command center? removing the custom doesnt change it. as soon as a custom is created those sliders are permently there. not looking to uninstall/ reinstall cuz it will delete my controller layouts. I want to use a custom curve for testing a couple games on 30 watt but i dont want to permently have one more option to scroll through just to test a couple games.

Subbed for the memes.

"On the inside is what really counts"... is this a shot at synthetics???

i can confirm what he says is true people. NO TURD IN MY POCKET HERE....lol as usual, great content brotha

Caveat!

the smacking is to much for me please drink water...

@21:20 thermal saturation is what you are looking for.

Now put the heat sink in, and put the handheld DIY back on with the thermal pad bridging the two metal components for pressure.

Hello, How does your Ally reach 53 watts? I have mine exactly as yours and followed the same setting you did on manual mode. Am I missing something? at most I could reach is 23ish. Thank you :)

Can you use one of those cell phone coolers right in the middle of the back there...love to know if it helps!! I've get a heatsink on my ally about like the jsaux but smaller, but wondered if you see any difference..I use a cooler on mine and 10w mode , always seen 38degrees my lowest, after running my cell phone cooler I seen 34,35 degrees, I've seen 33degrees on it b4 too, just wonder if I can make it a little better..thinner thermal pad and remove the black plastic? I love how it runs ..

Handy DIY mod is the best😊. Basically night and day I can hear my games without the ROG screaming at me

Hello good sir, can you try the heatsink mod on the ally x?

It looks like you have been mounting a semiconducting cooler to the back. It's something I tried but think the dust cover stops it from doing anything. Also that it needed something like this heatsink to make the contact it would need

Great video but I'm sticking with handheld DIY but the only regret I have with them I went with the white one I'm going to order the see through clear one

jsaux backplate and handheld diy backplate, which one is better and has better heat dissipation?

It works with the 2280 angled adapter, just remove the heatsink from the ssd and modify the thermal pad so it sits nice on the ssd and on the cpu heatpipe, easy.

Does handheldDIY sell the metal plate on its own that can be attached/modded to the original backplate as i dont need a transparent back since i use a full cover grip case

Hey CPPC, have you found a way to use the 2230 chonky heatsink with the handheld DIY backplate? I wasn't able to put the backplate on with the heatsink and wondered if you had more luck?

Even if you can keep it from leaking out from underneath the heatsink, the biggest problem with the liquid metal is that it eventually alloys itself with the metal of the heatsink and turns it to crap. It's similar to the effect of mercury coming into contact with aluminum. It eventually alloys with the aluminum and the aluminum becomes incredibly brittle and just crumbles. I don't know exactly what it does to copper, but you can see in the one picture you put up where it alloyed there too. You'll eventually end up needing to replace the heatsink either way. It's really interesting stuff and incredibly good as a thermal interface material. It's the best thing out there if your thing is putting up crazy OC numbers, but just not worth the trouble it brings if you want to use it as a long term solution since you'll be forced to replace the cooler at some point when the liquid metal alloys the cooler block. As for that heatsink, I have some double sided thermal tape that would work really well for that kind of thing. But once it sets, you're probably not getting it back off that heatpipe without mangling that heatpipe. The stuff sticks almost like epoxy after it has been through a few thermal cycles. But I don't think I would bother with it. The HandheldDIY backplate has been great as far as I'm concerned.

How about try to do some combination with the Jsaux heatsink and handheldDIY backplate? I'm really curious about the temperature will be lower or no change. Please test it, thanks.

Thanks for the video testing bruv. Do you then recommend the purple backplate with the headpad?

What would happen if you cut a plate of copper or aluminum and just slapped it in the middle with some thermal pads???? Or even better drill some holes through it for better heat dissipation.

Just get to the point. The added clips are annoying AF!

What if you used the Heatsink from Jsaux with a modified pad from HandheldDIY to make it thinner and the backplate of HandheldDIY. would that be the ultimate setup?

Thanks another great One. Maybe another video would be a 2080 inside, with better thicker thermal pads on the jasux heatsink. Wonder what the temps would be...

It is funny that you put the wrong backplate back down because they're so similar except for the button on the RGB one lmao, wonder if that's why it wasn't fully sitting in place since you used the wrong backplate

Please give rating which one is good ??

thers a screw at the top... prety shure that Will help to good It in place

Disappointing product, the stickiness IMO isn't a big issue, because I don't expect much from thermal putty. But the lack of force pushing the plate is. I got their backplate and I like it, this feels like a half-baked product. I think just ordering a big, thick piece of good quality thermal putty is a better idea and could net you better temps too (there's an idea for a follow up video!).

So you're saying that its impossibile using a 2280 L shape adapter with this heatsink?

Is it possible to buy a thermal pad as thick as the one handheldDIY provided with their back cover? I goofed and bought that thermal plate from jsaux which I didn't know they sold by itself which is good because I already have the back plate but you stated that you need to add pressure to it so it won't move so I wanna experiment try something similar to what you did👍🏾

Hi, can anyone check the thickness of the silicone thermal pad supplied with the Handhelddiy backplate? Much appreciated.

Do you advise me to buy a heat sink? Yes or no? Please reply

Whats the device setting on top of your hub on the left?

my favorite youtuber!

Hey brother can you just tell me what cooling back plate to get. I don’t wanna fuck up my device. I really want to take good care of it. What one do I buy

Great video! I appreciate you going into the detail about the heatsync - astute find indeed seeing it wasn’t staying fastened as it should due to insufficient pressure. I always appreciate the informative perspective on your videos.

Your videos are golden nuggets in my pocket.😂

Awesome vid I guess I would have never known that thing wasn’t so good it’s very counterintuitive 😅
