have you tried MSI themselves. I bought one for my EVGA gpu from EVGA as it was really well priced.

 

There are a few guys who make custom backplates, google 'gpu modding' as I found a few last year when I was looking

I want one but I don't want to pay $40 for better asthetics.

Buy an R9 390.

 

/s I already read the post

 

They don't allow "let me google that for you" anymore, but really, google it. I'm sure you can find good ones.

Doesn't EKWB make backplates?

Hi all!..

I am looking for MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4gb Backplates... is there any trusted site where I can buy them?

Thank you!

The mounting hardware on these does add some width to the back of the card so check the motherboard compatibility list that's on the website.

I did send an email to these guys and got a reply back saying that they were willing to modify the back plate to fit my specific motherboard.

I thought i read that they come with a Backplate on the MSI Page. Just checked tho, youre right :)

Like many manufacturers they are realising people really want back-plates .... EVGA are guilty of not offering them as standard, but at least they sell them as addons. More cards are coming with back-plates as standard thankfully

Are there any other Companys which sell Backplates for their GPU´s ? Im not talking about Watercooling Blocks or Custom Made Plates.
