SteamDeck JSAUX backplate v2 vented - thermal camera

So the stock vents get a little bit cooler the fan gets hotter.

So, is this backplate fine to use? Everyone I’ve asked says the vent over the fan is a bad thing ultimately.

[@Lunas2525]

It looks to let the stock vent area get a little warmer but the area next to the fan gets way cooler.

[@callmedyadya]

finally found it. is there any cpu/gpu temperature difference between stock backplate and this with blocked extra holes?

[@MrSariusz]

In general, the JSAUX v2 case with blocked fan holes is practically the same as the original case. The cooling plate and thermowell have a marginal effect on the temperatures.
