The screws that comes with the EKWB won't fit right with the EVGA Backplate holes. Not sure don't know but I could try but the backplate is longer than the EKWB it self it would look silly

serves as an aesthetic add-on and also provides passive cooling for the backside of voltage regulation module (VRM). So your saying it would be fine to run the GPU without any thermal pads on the VRM's Back PCB? I'm just new with this and curious to be cautious.Originally posted by gdesmo View Post[ATTACH=CONFIG]2012[/ATTACH] Just kidding, if you have good air flow over the back you will have no problems.

Filling the loop and checking for leaks, so far so good. I'm not happy with the curve from the GPU to the 240Rad so I'm going to get a 45 or dual 90 to make it straight. What do you guys think so far!?
