Founder Brian Posted April 24, 2013 Founder Share Posted April 24, 2013 Got my backplates in today from EVGA, they are $20 each so the cost isn't too bad and they have pads on the back of them so they actually assist with memory cooling. I touched the back of them after a gaming session and they did get pretty toasty so that tells me they are working. Just make sure you have good circulation in the case to keep air flowing over them to remove the heat build up. My system still needs additional fans for optimal cooling.

Moderator angerthosenear Posted April 28, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2013 Those backplates look really slick.Nice cable management and Intel Ethernet sticker too lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoD511 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 So much agreed, these backplates just add that extra awesome! I was surprised though at how hot to touch they were overall after so many supposedly saying the memory would generate negligible heat.

My babies below [ATTACH=CONFIG]7220[/ATTACH] Yeah it looks like they help in cooling as long as you got air running over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhco Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Does it really help your temp? I'm on air not water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 First reports I've heard of backplates assisting with cooling. Now to cover them in spiky heatsinks from radio shack and point a 200CFM fan at them. What do you mean looks will be ruined, THEY HELP THE COOLING!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC51 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Looks great! Any chance of lower temp? (even at least by 1C?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted May 2, 2013 Author Founder Share Posted May 2, 2013 Looks great! Any chance of lower temp? (even at least by 1C?)There's no memory temp sensor so its hard to say. Could take a laser temp gun to it I suppose but it still wouldn't really tell me if its running cooler or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good enough for me. Heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyesaRRi Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Do the backplates really assist with memory overclocking? My titan is sitting at +550 (not tested higher) without any troubles without a backplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacaloca Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Do the backplates really assist with memory overclocking? My titan is sitting at +550 (not tested higher) without any troubles without a backplate.I wouldn't think that it affects it much if at all, but I haven't done any testing since I tried the first Naennon BIOS, I might go back and capture temps again.

svl7 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 This reminds me that I should finally mount that backplate which laying around here... lol, just too lazy. I don't think the difference is something which will affect the overclockability, but the backplate sure does look nice. Something like this should definitely be included by default with such a premium product. With that price Nvidia should provide a gilded backplate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGovernment Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've got 2 on my titans. They REALLY look nice. My only problem is I buy them, then decide I want to WC them lol, I guess it's no big deal at $20 each though. I got the Razer blocks... nice!

TobiWahnkenobi Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 A backplate really looks nice, but I think it's not necessary and expensive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradius Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Supposedly they are offering free back plates for the 770s. And via email a rep told me that even though the titan ones are compatible with the 780s they are specifically making new ones for them. I wonder if they will offer those free as well.

knusper Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Looking good. They fit on 780s as it's basically the same PCB, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikster Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes its the same PCB Titan=780.LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techsilver13 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I had two titans but got rid of them for the cheaper 780 acx models...I did order a backplate for the 780 and its basically identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon McGinnis Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Those are sexy. I need a backplate now for my 780.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonethrasher Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I feel like adding a back plate would reduce the amount of direct air blowing on the memory (for the titan). I would think the ram would get hotter. Has anyone done tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarach Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I should probably get a backplate for my 780 SC ACX too, sad that it was not included with card though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
