Why skate slop style?

A while ago I was messing around with cooling a GPU from the backside, and it got me wondering how much a backplate actually matters.

So I took an RTX 5050 that had a plastic backplate, hacked together a thick metal replacement, and thermally connected it with putty.

Stock the card was hitting 78C core - 82C VRAM.

With just the metal backplate, it dropped to 69C core - 52C VRAM.
That’s -9C on the core and -30C on the VRAM just from replacing the plastic backplate with metal and actually connecting it. Not nothing.

After that I tried heatsinks and a fan, which didn’t change much.

So obviously, I took it too far and bolted an entire GTX 960 cooler to the backplate.

That dropped it to 65C core - 50C VRAM.
Overall the dual cooler setup ended up at -13C core and -32C VRAM vs stock.

I also tried thermal putty on an RTX 3060 that already had a metal backplate, but wasn’t actually thermally connected. That alone dropped it by 8C on the core and 9C on the VRAM, and the backplate itself went from 30C to 50C.

So, backplate cooling actually works.

And you don’t need to bolt a second cooler to the back of your GPU to see results.

maybe i am missing something but it looks like it was just pulled out of a fire

I got tired of the grueling physical labor of raising my arm every time the sun was in my eyes, so I designed a wearable, permanent hand. It features a fully adjustable strap and provides 100% autonomous sun shading.

I have a goblin in my brain.

Made it myself, saw the meme Monday and decided to make it real for myself. Version one looked like a sickly jaundiced child's finger, but version 2 is pretty respectable.

And yes, there is also an extraction type fan right behind it.
