7970 CSQ Backplate with none CSQ Block?

So I can't seem to get hold of the standard backplate for the 7970, and OcUK are only stocking the CSQ backplate. I currently have the NickePlated blocks if it makes a difference.

Failing that, if anyone knows a source for the backplates (Not EK website, prices are stupidly high) feel free to trust me a link

Thought as much, the EK Configurator says it will fit, but some websites say it's only for Asus cards, some only for CSQ blocks. I'll buy one and test it, if not I'm sure someone in the MM will buy it. Thanks bud

Out of curiosity are only the DUII cards different from the reference design?

Just put one of my cards under water, no backplate, my verdict is that it's a complete waste of wonga
