Hi! i have gtx 980 ti reference card and my evga hybrid kit upgrade for the card is coming next week.

 

my question here is what does backplate do? does it reduce coilwhine or something? is it worth to buy it? it costs around 30 euros on in my country

The EVGA Backplate is an optional accessory with the following features:

  • Reinforces the PCB of the product
  • Helps to protect fragile components from handling damage
  • Adds a clean look to the product
  • Helps to reduce heat by up to 3 degrees Celsius

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.

Probably not, but you does make the card look damn sexy.

just thinking that is it really necessary for me to get the backplate since the evga hybrid kit provides water cooling that wont surpass 50 celcius under load. (atleast thats what the reviews says)

It´s mainly for the Looks. If you have a sexy PC, you dont want the Card look like ordinary hardware ;)

I would say its more for support, as it reduces the sag on the card.

Plus if you got more water cooling in the system, so does it also protect the card against drips from a leaky system, so you got less chance of everything going if you get a problem.

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.
