Im curious about the backplates, and High Flow Brackets.
This may not be the best place to ask, but coming from years of AMD/ATI cards I just wanted a bit of advice please.
I have decided to switch over to the Green Team this upgrade, and have choosen a EVGA GTX 570 Super-Clocked Edition. (The reference design)
Im curious about the backplates, and High Flow Brackets.
The backplate certainly looks nice, but Im reading conflicting reports about it.
Im curious if anyone has one and aside from looking nice, does it actually help the card run any cooler?
Im reading that it does help a bit dropping temps by 1-2C and others saying it actually makes them run hotter trapping heat.
Also, the HF brackets? Worth it?
Not sure if Ill add just the backplate, or get both.
Thanks :)
