Coldzero does most of the custom backplates I've seen on these forums and others including the one I'm using, If it's not on his store page just email and ask

Changing the 290X Matrix out for a reference custom painted 780 Ti *Removing the metal shroud and having it custom painted matt black* as the temps of the 290X Matrix are crazy and starting to uncomfortably heat up the rest of my system.

Awesome build, really clean, I really like your braiding and the red/black combo theme for your PC Build. How are your temps now??

Thanks bud

Now that I removed the 290X Matrix my internal temps have gone down by quite a lot, My CPU temps have gone down by 12'c at load and general temps are all nice and cool now including general performance of the card is better than the 290X.

AMD' cards are good but I really hope their next series aren't mobile ovens, Stupidly hot and noisy even for an after market PCB/Cooler, I even had to take of my 540's side window as it was hot to the touch and the card was red hot after only 5 minutes of BF4 and thats with 3 fans blowing over it

Had same problem with matrix 7970s, fans 100% and the cards was still getting to hot for my old case
Temps dropped by half after adding water blocks, I think the fans on them was **** also. The best gpu fans are them that blow the warm air out the back of the case
