Hi all,

I have an Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780Ti WindForce 3x OC 3072MB GDDR5
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-129-GI

I really would love to apply a backplate for aesthetic purposes.
I cant seem to find much choice, however i notice EKWB do a backplate for WF3 cards;
http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc780-gtx-wf3-backplate-black.html

Can I use this, without any ekwb cooling?
Is it safe to use a backplate?
Is there anywhere online that have a selection of backplates?

Hope someone can help.
Dan.

just leave it as it is. I have no experience in installing backplates but just the idea sounds a little dodgy. If something short circuits it could mess up the whole thing. On the other hand the graphics card will never be seen unless you have a window. I would also love a backplate but the idea of screwing it up put me off it.
Hope it helps
