Hey guys! I've decided to get backplates for my tis. I'm looking at either an EVGA one or an EK black one:

Are there any other differences other than aesthetics? Do you recommend other brands?

Thank you! :)

I've had both. The EK one is much sturdier and the EVGA has some minor inconveniences. I would recommend the EK.

Probably not. Just pick the one you like most. My preference goes to the EK one.
