Ek have gave me a refund ha ha.....so i replied with....so do i need a waterblock or can i just fit it to the existing screw points etc etc......no reply as yet.....just been looking at another evga backplate youtube vid and tbh the only thing that i can see that would stop you would be that the screws could be too short......but you get screws with the backplate, but are they too long because they go into the waterblock?

I'm gonna wait for a reply from EK and some other forums i have posted this dilemma on and if nobody comes up with a definite answer i think i will just order one anyway, i mean did you see that nickel plated one in the vid.....it was pure sex.
