    Let us know how the ram chips are doing as I'm thinking of WC'ing my GTX 280 when I order it but I'm half hoping the 23mm side fan will be enough to keep them cool (TT Armor+)

    I checked them and they are barely warm at 1250Mhz with the 25Cm fan... without they are hot... but I'm going for the Alu backplate once Eddie puts it up on his webbie...

    I finally tested my stock gtx last night after getting it in last thursday afternoon. I can run about 10mhz shy on the core (linked) as what you show, but can't seem to push my ram much faster than stock. I need to do some more playing around, but it is almost looking like a wash between water and air on this card.

    Alu backplate arrivd and will install it today and take some piccies lads...









    Backplate has slightly longer screws then the ones from the waterblock...installation is a no brainer... I opted for the Alu backplate as a waterblock on top would have left me very narrow space with the top PCI slot on my P5Q dlx mobo... secondly I have ran the rams barenaked at 1250mhz for a few weeks now, just a 25cm fan in the sidepanel blew some fresh air over them... no hickups there... with the backplate the card is straight again and doesn't bend at all due to the weight of the bottom copper block...

    Top ace job again Eddie !!

    Can the AL backplate come in a chrome version for consistency? And on either black or chrome version, could those screws come in black? Probably I could work those out on my own, but they'd be a nice detail improvement.
