Thinking of doing a GPU Backplate

How does one go about attatching the backplate? I have an EVGA 1060 6GB SC (The small one)  and wanted to know how and where it is attatched before I build it.

Why even attach it, just let it lie on the back of the PCB with insulation (say thermal pads) to prevent shorting, if you plan on using a conductive material.

The screws. The backplate is secured down using the existing screw holes. Usually this is only an aftermarket option when watercooling.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.

screws and plastic spacers (and thermal pad ?)

double sided tape is probably the easiest solution. Just recommend using plastic instead of metal for the backplate

thermal pads/double sided tape will all work fine. Non-conductive and easy to remove.

&& much easier than drilling holes that align with the pcb in the backplate
