GPU Backplates JUST GOT AWESOME!

[pgi947]

Just had a little delivery from Portugal, decided I'd show you GPU guys as backplates can be used on either WC setups or with air coolers

That is epic, deserves a game! Message me in CS section and I will send a game over to you!

Speechless!

I'm on it just now

Yep its cut from matt black acrylic, and the logo is pressed in from coloured gloss plexi.

I'll be fitting them with the GPU blocks either later today or tomorrow morning depending when the last of my orders arrive, I'll update with more (and better!) pics once I'm done

How did you manage that pgi?

Last I looked, the site said they were discontinued.

They were only on his store for me to make the purchase etc... not a item he stocks. I originally got in touch with OcUK (stigbourne) to try and get hold of a vector image of the logo, which he promptly provided, then forwarded the image on to Ricardo who created some renders to show me how it looks and then at my request he placed a stock of 2 in his store for me to purchase

which cards?

MSI 7970 OC

Have you thought about selling OCUK Backplates, you could shift quite a few for the Titans.

I've just mentioned this to him in CS, would really give that custom feel to a tech lab card

How much do those cost ??

For obvious reasons I'll avoid mentioning pricing as its possibly a grey area under the rival companies forum rule. More then an EK backplate, less then an Aquacomputer backplate

Those are awesome, was wondering when I'd see them show up, been following your build!

Build is about ready for launch, just going to start taking things apart for rebuild

 

[pgi947]

Uhm, Possibly I suppose, though I'm not too keen on having an LED strip directly on the PCB of my GPU to do so

Fitted to a 7970:

surely it would be worthwhile for OCUK to sell considering the praise and the amount of interest in them?
I for one would certainly buy one.

That is down to OcUK and if they see it as a worthwhile product line, obviously if they did show an interest they would have to get some samples, in house testing etc... before committing to stock.

All I have been told is that the powers that be at OcUK have been shown the backplates to see if its something that would worth looking into.

Personally would love to see some tech lab cards holding the tech lab logo on a backplate, would look the muts nuts

Also if anyone does want to see them at OcUK, put posts up in the product suggestion CS section, as I gather they take quite a bit of input from those posts

Really pleased with how they look, can't wait to get them in my system tomorrow.
