I recently installed my BFG-GTX295 on the Koolance VID-NX295. I'm using the thinner thermal pads as of now but I may have to change to the thicker pads because I'm getting a warp/bowing on both cards.

Has anyone had that problem with the BFG 295? I', thinking if I change out the thermal pads to the thicker ones I may not get the block/GPU contact as good as using the thinner pads?

Any recommendations, say maybe unscrewing the stand offs a bit?

Also anyone know if the EVGA backplate will fit on a BFG, I'd hate to badge it EVGA when its not but EVGA seems to be the only one that makes the backplate.

Thanks, Quels
