GPU backplate question.

[Kaynar]

Hello all,

I am planning to buy the Koolance VID AR797 waterblock for the HD7970
(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-020-KA)

Koolance doesn't make a custom backplate to match this VGA block and I was wondering if it is technically possible to use any other backplate for the 7970 while using this VGA block?

Thanks.

Thanks for the answer, but my 7970 does not have a backplate on its own, I was thinking of buying the Heatkiller GPU 79X0 backplate. My card is the XFX7970BEDD (first revision version that has stock pcb).

Oh dear, its an XFX gpu! You do realize you are going to void the warranty right?

yes i do.

Thanks for the answers guys!
