Use the configurator above to pick your GPU. Should list the compatible blocks.

The ACX 2.0 is Reference board isnt it?

if so any Titan X block will work and yes Titan X backplate will fit.

I have my EVGA SC on full blocks with Titan X backplates.

I actually meant the backplates that i had to buy for the cards the EVGA 980ti back plates ..cost me £45 delvered for both and only had them yesterday dont really want to buy another 2 backplates . if they dont fit i will just rest them on top of each other .

I don't think they officially fit. Maybe with different screws.

Or you could just use adhesive thermal pads.

I know right . Only thing I don't like about my back plates. But anyway atleast people might think there's titan x's in there. Who would know .

I think the backplates might fit but depends on the layout really. The Titan x ones have heat transfer from the core VRAM and memory so thermal pads or some kind of adhesive might be a good idea if you can't get them to fit the cards as that should hold them in place.

Yeah that sounds good . I like GOD-LIATH with that bit of a twist .

One thing aswell, for the blocks dont forget a quality set of #0000, #000, #00, #0 phillips screwdrivers, if you havent already. Having the wrong size will round the screws off quite easily, as they loctite half the screws in for whatever reason. Then it becomes a right pain.

and yea i got precision screwdrivers , i bought some 70% alcohol wipes too just hope they are good enough to take the old paste off .

and the name is really digging into me now and liking it a lot . would love to know how much precision laser cutting costs as i would do a front panel design of a god like goliath creature mixed in the MSI draggon .
