Hi...I was thinkin how crappy the backside of my GTX 570 looks .... is there some kind of cosmetic cover for the PCB side of a graphics card? If so where can one be purchased? thanx in advance.

Water cooling back plates would be a good start

I too was thinking of a w/c backplate loki.....that is if I could'nt find something purely cosmetic....dang maybe a guy oughtta invent somethin huh?

Here's an installation guide for the 6970 version...It should be pretty much the same.

His 570 is non-reference

Also, I think that one has too many holes.

You may have to knock something up yourself then dude.

Not to hard if you have used bench fitting tools before. Just take it slow and remember the engineers mantra...

....measure twice, cut once!
