Added the jsaux backplate and stuck a 40mm heat sink on the plate to help with passive cooling, not sure how much it helps but the fan is quieter so I’m happy with it!

There’s a thermal tape layer that came on the heatsink, stuck to the aluminum sheet that makes contact with the main board. It’s not as efficient as the LTT custom one I got the idea from but it does work! And no, it doesn’t fit in the case anymore

Does it add a lot of weight? Looks pretty dope

Nothing noticeable the heatsink weighs 15.5 grams

Did you do any testing with just the jsaux backplate, does it actually help the fan noise at all? Or did the heat sink help the most?

Formal testing no, I could tell the case plate would get hot and my understanding is when the thermal mass stabilizes at a temp the fan would run as normal, so this adds a bit more mass but in a way that’s easier for the heat to passively dissipate

How hot does that get? That seems like burned fingers waiting to happen!

The heat sink stays cooler than just the case plate since the fins dissipate better and the fin area has less contact surface when you do, can leave my fingers on it for 10-15 seconds vs the plate at 3-5 seconds, but with that said I have to purposefully reach for it, my hand never makes contact with it on accident
