Radeon 6970 Backplate

[FallenDark7]

Hello guys. First of all let me say "hay" to all. And thank for help in advantage.

Well i have two 6970 one of them is gigabyte which has died so i picked from other pc sapphire 6970, but the sapphire dosent have backplate. Can i just screw from gigabyte.. I fear cuz of these tiny ram moduel which come in contact. Its a bit diferent pcb model. Soon im getting someting in gtx 960-970range but im waiting on amd relese so the prices drop.

Thanks.

Backplates aren't supposed to have any conductivity, never transplanted a backplate before so I'm not sure how they both look

Depends on the size of the pcb and the mounting points. That's the only issue.

Size of pcb is ok.. The only issue is that some ram chips from psbbcome in contact which mean i wodebt be able to screw the whole way. But i woud du it from estetic resons anyway..
