Show Us Your Rig [6]

[sygnus21]

My backplate arrived from the U.S today

Nice looking back plate, though I don't understand why companies skimp on these. Anyway this is another reason I went with Sapphire when choosing a R9-280X....

That's a very nice backplate sygnus.. As you say they've put some effort into it

Uhhh... I just chose the card, the backplate was stock for the Sapphire R9-280X Vapor X - Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X OC - Seven Radeon R9 280X Graphics Cards, Rounded-Up

But thanks

Thanks Ryan, yeah it finishes it off nicely.

Yeah Drew, personally I think the Classified should have come with one in the first place. But it was pretty cheap so job done now

What exactly is the purpose of the backing plate ?

Rigidity and looks.

Rigidity and looks.

Plus it's supposed to help with heat dispersion (so they say).

Looks, that side of a graphics card always looks horrible, it covers it up nicely.

Lol, I also forgot to say, in the last pic you can actually see the PSU wires! So there is proof they exist

 

[COMPUTIAC]

No they don't, you used Photoshop !

OK, hang on, I will activate the specialist light thing, I think it's called a flash or suchlike.

 

[paulpicks21]

Got it! If you can't see the wires now then an eye test is advisable!

Nice shot Paul, thanks. Crap I was thinking it was a modular unit, seems simple once I've seen it.

No worries, yeah well I would have liked to have gotten a better PSU, but my Antec died when I got the EVGA Classified and I wanted to be up and running straight away and the only PSU I could get at the local store was the GS800, it is plenty powerful enough for the 780 though with 68A on the 12V rail. But I will upgrade it in the future.

I still think there's a place for semi-modular and non-modular PSU's.....as your's shows the cable out next to the grommet is a very clean look as long as you can hide and manage what's going on behind the mobo.

Yes Alan I agree, but I ain't gonna show you the back of the case, it took me a lot of effort to jam the back panel back on :roflmao:
