Water block and plate

Do I really need the back plate though?

The backplate is not needed, it is only for aesthetics. And actually if your current 980(or soon to be?) has a backplate, I see no reason why you can't continue to use it.

Do you now what IT and EK means?

Btw thanks for your answer

That specific waterblock does not come with a backplate. However the company who manufactures it, EKWB, makes a specific backplate for it, it costs an extra 30$usd(not sure what it costs in australia)
