anyone heard about their free EVGA backplate

porkmince · 17 Apr 2012 at 10:52

Ive not heard a peep as yet - I wonder if they were massivly oversubscribed

This was the promo for registering your EVGA GTX680

if anyone else has heard anything other than the "we will write to you soon e-mail "

cheers

Heard nothing

Nocky24 · 17 Apr 2012 at 11:39

Same, still haven't heard anything.

Stanners · 17 Apr 2012 at 11:48

If you log in to your EVGA account and look at your products mine is listed there as shipping pending.

Gregster · 17 Apr 2012 at 11:53

Same as above. I don't care though as no rush.

Sin_Chase · 17 Apr 2012 at 12:20

Not heard yet either.

I don't think EVGA have sent any out to European 680 buyers yet. People in the US got the free bracket quickly enough.

Mine arrived via UPS this morning

A2BDriver · 25 Apr 2012 at 11:42

UPS man came this morning, but I wasn't able to get down stairs in time. Do you think they will redeliver later? didn't even leave a note or anything.

Mine has just turned up, doesn't look much different to the standard backplate and certainly nothing like http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-178-EA&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2255

It isn't the backplate of the card itself it is the part that screws onto the motherboard chassis they have sent me

Aha looking back at the email it is a high flow bracket, not the backplate, well that was a waste of time this thing will make 9/8ths of B all difference

Sin_Chase · 25 Apr 2012 at 12:47

It was never a backplate.

It was the PCI slot portion. Compared to stock it has more hollows to allow for more airflow.

Indeed, it's this:

NO HOTLINKING!!!

Gregster · 25 Apr 2012 at 12:52

Recieved my High flow bracket today

Sin_Chase · 25 Apr 2012 at 12:53

*fingers crossed for a gift when I get home*

Likely be delayed a few days into Jersey though.

I shant fit mine till I de-dust my comp. I don't see it making much or any difference TBH.

Nocky24 · 25 Apr 2012 at 13:19

Just received mine

doubt it'll make much difference, but it's free!

mine now says shipped for the free backplate

elrasho · 25 Apr 2012 at 17:03

Mine came today via UPS

EDIT: They sent me one of these which looks like an I/O mesh that goes on the back of the card

Gonna contact EVGA and see if I can blag some freebies

EVGA were giving away free high flow brackets as per the image you posted.

If you thought they were giving away free backplates then you were mistaken.
