RTX 2080 White Backplate

[EdenHasan]

I have EVGA RTX 2080 ("Black Edition" its the full model name if it metter) and I want to put a white backplate on it.

Where I can find one? 

I tried to search but it didnt go so well...

I Doubt one exists honestly, EK make backplates however i don't know if they are compatible with the cooler and even if they are I'm pretty sure they don't make a white one. Best bet is just going to be to paint your current one with something like plastidip (so you can remove it later if you wish), GPU backplates don't actually aid in cooling so painting it isn't going to cause any problems.

Thanks for the quick answer.

 

So actually I did paint the backplate with the spray that in the image below. Its written in Hebrew but it says that it can be sprayed on plastic.

I waited a day for a full dry and put it on the gpu. Imdeiatly the PC became unstable, I ran Furmark and the PC crashed. I also noticed an extreme heat from the backplate (I think it was extremely hot, I barely could touch it).

 

Could it be a bad spry type? Bad implementation? (as you can see its not the best paint job, its my first time)

Interesting, as far as I'm aware rust-oleum is non conductive, so I doubt that's the issue. 

 

Were there any thermal pads between the PCB and the backplate when you removed it? Also I notice you're running the PC right now without the backplate, I assume its perfectly stable without the backplate installed? 

 

If there were no thermal pads, and the card is stable when the backplate isn't installed I would suggest reinstalling the plate, but making sure to only tighten down the plate enough to hold it on without moving. While I've not seen it happen with GPU's its not uncommon for a pc to refuse to boot or be highly unstable due to a overtightened CPU cooler, and its possible if installed too tightly it flexes the PCB just enough to cause issues.

There are several thermal pads on the bottom of the backplate.

Yes, the pc runs perfect without the backplate.

I will try to install it as you described and see if I will have any luck, thanks a lot.

You may can try V1 tech. A bit pricey, but might be what you're looking for. And you can customize it to your liking as well. https://www.v1tech.com/

these people are calling these backplates but its more of backplate covers so its probably not what you were looking for but this company based on the pic alone makes some awesome work.
