To be honest with you, I haven't checked yet as I just finished installing them last night, and it took me longer than I expected to do so as my Torx 6 screwdriver broke, I had to improvise.

The thermal tape only contacts the tiny resistors in the back of the GPU, so I'm not expecting a big gain, I'll report back to you as soon as I test them :)

Thanks for your comments :D

They looks sick, HF. I was interested at the same thing. How much did the High Airflow Bracket influence the temps? I hope you decide to post some results here :)

LOL thanks for noting the High-Airflow-Bracket. I didn't even see it when I first saw the pics. :toast:

Well, to be honest with you, I was about to test and see if there was any difference after reading cadaveca's post, but then I realized that I just rushed and installed the backplates without measuring the temps before doing so, I know, that was not very smart of me, and I apologize guys, subjectively I can tell you that I haven't seen any differences, but ambient temperature here has raised since the last time I really checked the temps for my cards, so that is in no way a scientific statement :ohwell: :(

As for the high flow brackets, I was able to measure a 3~4 degree favorable difference before and after installing it, you can check about it here:

In an unrelated note, I just ordered a new Asus G75 laptop with a 3D Vision panel and a 120GBs Vertex 4 SSD for it! I will post the pics as soon as I get it in the mail, will keep you guys posted!

Here is what two GTX 680's look like in SLI with EK backplates :) So far I have not seen any temps above 38c and that was overclocked to 1295Mhz Core 1702 Memory. I have seen Idle temps as low as 19c but normally they idle about 23c and 24c These cards run Really cool.... I just wish they were given a bit more in terms of voltage to let them run and Gallup! I will also say whether you believe me or not.... the back plates lowered my temps buy about 2c on lower card and about 3c on upper card.

What kind of boost clocks do you see at those temps?

At Stock my Boost clocks go to 1124MHz...That's the highest I have seen it go on a regular basis..... while watching.

Overclocked like I said I have hit 1295 Mhz any higher then that... I need more voltage. But because it doesn't go any higher.... that's as I high as I can go.

I will also tell you since my temps are so low... I never see a down clock because of temps. If the clocks are needed because of the performance of the game.... they stay that way period!

Man, I really love your WC loop! You put a lot of effort in it, and it shows, congrats on your IB upgrade also! Please post benchies once you get your new proc.

I'm gonna hold off on IB for now, at least for my regular PCs, I just ordered an IB powered lappy, I heard it runs much faster than the mobile SB! I might upgrade my main rig to IB-E in the future, but with Haswell relatively close to the release of IB-E, I might hold off on that as well :p

Nice temps on those 680s :rockout:

What I don't understand is why none of the waterblock manufacturers have made a backplate with fins on it to provide extra cooling to the backside ram and other components...

What I don't understand is why none of the waterblock manufacturers have made a backplate with fins on it to provide extra cooling to the backside ram and other components...

You see... I wanna shoot something out there really quick.... I did just get these back plates..... Just the the other day. I did re-test the temps.... I was wrong in my calculations.... I am actually only seeing 1c drop on bottom card and 2c drop top card because of the Back plates. But still that is pretty good just from a piece of metal. It seems that there is some type of Heatsink effect with these after all. But not very much. Even still....they are working somewhat.

I don't know why they don't do something like you suggest. It would be really cool if they did make something like that.

Man, I really love your WC loop! You put a lot of effort in it, and it shows, congrats on your IB upgrade also! Please post benchies once you get your new proc.

Thanks for the complements.... I have always admired your PC as well. I can't wait to see your PC after getting a WC loop in there.
Even if you never go that route.... Your PC looks sick bro!

The EK plate for my 7950 doesn't actually cool anything, its there for support and looks.
Your kind of right.... I spoke a little too soon. After I made my claims last night. I removed them and then installed them again to do some tests to compare the temps. The bad news is I am not getting as low of drops in my temps as I originally thought. But the good news is I am still getting some drops in temps. It's closer to 1c Bottom card and 2c top card.

But they still are there.... that much difference is still a success in my book.

Ahh, I got my answer: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1355/2/ . Don't blame yourself for rushing to install the bracket and the back-plates, I would tear the package as soon as I see it in the post. :D :D so I know what do you mean.

@Laurijan

I am very happy with this board; it offers heaps of features for a great price, handles overclocking and RAM tweaks well, imo looks better than equivalent boards from Gigabyte and Asus (gold caps!), etc. This is my first motherboard with UEFI too, although it seems a little odd to me atm, it appears to be very comprehensive and easy to use. Main reason I chose it, was that it offered more power phases, better heatsinks, and 8x/8x lane splitting, compared to other manufacturers in the price range. In my opinion, ASRock seems the best value buy around.

Edit: As most people may know, ASRock was originally a spin-off of Asus (however, is now owned by another subsidary, Pegatron), so you're basically getting Asus quality boards, without paying the premium.

Can you tell me how your VRM temps look @ load? Also, its hard to tell in the pics- but are the gold caps really noticeable once its installed in the case or can you not really tell they are golden at that point? I really like the look of the black board and gold caps, but some reviews have said its not as pronounced as press shots would make it seem.

Thanks :toast:

Wait, you want him to urinate on his PC? :confused: :wtf:

:laugh: I know you know what he meant, but for those who might not- he is referring to my Performance Pro 256GB SSD.

dub I wanna see pics of your rig with that PP in it!!

Here you go :D Think I should move it to where its more prominent? This rig is being replaced soon- at least parts of it.



This is whats responsible for the third star on my WCG Badge. Future of this rig is uncertain with my 2600k inbound, but it is Crunching 24/7 in the mean time:
