Hey guys, first time posting on your forum. I currently have an MSI GTX980 4Gb Gaming in my system. As some of you may know this card does not come with a stock back plate. The only thing that I am worried about is eventual sag on the PCB. Going through the internet time and time again, I keep getting attracted to EKWB's backplates. I know that they are a trusted company across the water cooling universe. Their back plates are relatively cheap and I plan on water cooling somewhere down the line anyway. So what I really am wondering is if the back plate from EKWB is required to be installed alongside a waterblock for my GPU or can the back plate be attached to the stock cooler?
