Thread Starter 
So my 1st attempt at installing the 690 evga backplate was a fail. I got all but 3 of the T6 Torx screws out. the last 3 wouldnt budge.

Any tips or ideas to get them out so I dont end up with a very expensive paper weight ???

You may want to try a torx wrench for more leverage - just be careful and don't strip the screws or damage the PCB.

Get a T6 Torx bit for a 1/4" Drive socket. Shouldn't be a problem with that.
