Will a EVGA backplate work with the Kraken G10?  I saw that it has the right placement of holes for the mount to go on...hmmmm...

 

I'm curious to how well that plate acts as a heat sink...

Right? Me too, I wonder if that will help VRM temps, too.  Anyways, have you moved those heatsinks to the correct position?  If so, was there a large temp difference?

Not yet, I still need to order smaller heatsinks. These are too big to fit in there.
