I have a Titan black gpu is a backplate needed?

[dominickbuff]

In not sure if I am just stressing out about this to much or not but I am wondering is a backplate needed and where can I find one I looked and can't seem to locate one

dominickbuff welcome to SevenForums.

No the back plate only serves a mostly cosmetic role. If you never clean the dust build up and it got heavy enough (shame on you) then maybe.....maybe it could prevent a short. Otherwise they just look cool !

And where would I buy one I can't seam to find one?

First you`d have to post a link to your card we are not magicians

But anywho, you go to the manufacturers website and see if they have one or just google it. The Black is almost 2 years old already.

Example

Amazon.com: EVGA GTX TITAN Backplate 100-BP-3790-B9: Computers & Accessories

I`m sure someone made one for it, just google it.

EVGA doesn`t even list the black anymore, so good luck.

Read the last link I posted in reply #4

Also post a thread at the EVGA forums, apparently they made them.

The cheapest one I found was 150 and no way am I paying 150 for a back of a gpu lol

Yep, they sell for $20 when you buy a new card, personally I think a card looks terrible without a back plate.
