I built a new rig with SLi'd 570's over a week ago and have starting tweaking and OC'ing my system. The cards can get hot with my CPU Overclock and a slight OC using afterburner. However when I went to buy the backplates for cooling and looks it says they do not fit HD cards. Did EVGA or does anyone know of a ETA?

This is awesome news! Thank you!

Don't the 560ti backplates have 560ti branding on them?

They don't do very much for cooling, if anything at all. They are mostly cosmetic. The most I have seen reported was 3c drop in temps. Most report nothing at all or even a slight increase but that could be due to case temperature fluctuation.

 
Any news on the 570 HD backplate? I noticed that the day after the 680 was released, backplates were up for sale.
So many companies lose customers because they put all of the time into getting knew ones not realizing that the best customer is the one they already have loyalty from. To lose that customer does more damage than any number of "new customers" the company can add? New customers are added. Old customers multiply themselves and create new customers through multiplication rather than addition.
 
How foolish are the American Corporations that are so foolish to make assumptions while ignoring the emotional makeup of a human. If a company wants to really grow then take care of your own first. This is a biblical principle found all throughout the Bible. If God loved us in that while we were yet sinners, how much more will he be there for us once we become His child. God doesn't let go. Companies do!! They do not function from a foundation of absolute truth and in their attempts to be relevant they violate truths that do not change.
 
Social media is so misused by corporations that I am actually writing a book on the issue and this small but symbolic failure of Evga to neglect to provide a backplate for a card that has been out for a year and is an expensive high end card that could be their most popular card is a window into the discussions that take place behind the "walls separation".
 
Always look deeper when a Corporation fails to provide something that is an obviously needed product for the customer and ask some questions that go to the foundational issues. And remember, there rarely are "oversights" within a large corporation. Each decision to do or not to do has no doubt been presented, discussed, and then more often than the company can afford to tell their loyal base disheartening news it chooses to not provide a “small money maker” product that is based on a decision to care for their own and not on financial gain.
 
Not providing this backplate for the GTX 570 HD cards is a window into the real corporation's leader's personal mission statement; unlike the one mounted on the walls when you enter those thickest walls of the company- the office of the CEO.
 

Hello,
 
Someone in this thread confirmed that 560ti backplates fit on 570 HD card.
However i would one more time ask if this true? Does these backplates fits on 570 HD card with 2560 MB Video ram?
 
 

Evga if you are reading this, I need to know if I also can get a full refund (including shipping as the part alone is not expensive) on my purchase of the same backplate as I also was led to believe that the 560 plate would work with 570 HD. You really need to consider taking control of this thread so it is EVGA that is dispelling the "bad information" rather then forum members telling each other. Let me know if I should pursue this as I would prefer to not make the phone call if it requires all kinds of explaining. Thanks and no hard feelings here.

Water blocks are expensive compared to a backplate. Hope you got your money back!

 what exactly did you mod on the backplate?

Oh I see now. He drilled out the holes that the screws would go in that hold then heatsink to the gpu. But now I can't find the backplate anywhere!

what did u use to pop those thigs out, a hammer?

The 500 series has been out of production for a while, so I don't think backplate will be made any longer for the 500 series. As mentioned in post number 24 there are also individuals and companies who can make custom backplates.

I used a deep well socket and a rag so i didnt mark up the plate and tapped it out with a hammer I just painted them the other day ill post pics of them soon,
 
Also it did not help my temps at all, but i did not make it worse. just looks good :p
