Is it possible to put a backplate on an xfx r9 290.

If yes, is it possible that you give me the link(make sure it is black)?

Thanks in advance.

 

Reference or Aftermarket ?

It probably has a stock PCB so yes.

 

If you're not set on XFX, the PowerColor PCS+ comes with an awesome backplate.

Do you think this would be compatible?

No and here's why.

Can you please help me choose one for the reference R9 290 because xfx R9 290  has the same PCB i believe.
