Does anywhere do backplates for an HD 7850 ?

[The Matrix]

I'm after some kind of backplate for my Sapphire HD 7850 rather than just looking at a circuit board, does anywhere do them and ideally in a range of colours ?

Ive just noticed overclockers do this for the 7970, i presume that wouldn't fit a 7850 ?

I don't think there are any retail HD 7850 backplates, but there's a guy at overclock.net that makes custom backplates for any GPU.

I really appreciate that Boom.

Ive sent him a PM

EK do a 7870 backplate, not sure if it's the same PCB, might be worth a shot?

As the EK full cover block doesn't fit the Sapphire 7850 (its a non reference design) its doubtful

According to the EK configurator it does fit

There may be a reason for that, see the arrows:

The PCBs look the same otherwise, so these differences mean a full cover block may not fit but a backplate will.

That's what I think anyway

Oh good point it only has to connect to the 4 holes round the GPU doesn't it and won't come near any of the stuff that interferes with a front block /facepalm

All the holes ont he cards look to be the same anyway
