As the title says, I want to know if the MSI 980 ti's backplate is removable, and if so, how would I go about removing it? I would like to replace it with a much nicer V1Tech backplate. Any help is appreciated.

So could I just remove the screws? Would I have to do anything else?

Well I guess I won't try it. Wouldn't want to take any risks. Thanks anyways.
 
maybe why MSI don't give any support info on any of that ?? not to say evga is the best but at least they put things up front and easy to see and use ?

there back plate looks simple to install or remove with out disassembly of the whole card to do so ??

can I ask why you want to remove yours ??? sorry

I did look at that vi tech to see there instructions and I seen it was just a cover that goes over the back plate you all ready go now ???

under manual it says line up magnets ??? is that how it attaches ??

from reviews

''Installation was easy and painless, just a matter of lining up the magnets on the backplate with the screws on the top on the GPU.''
