Did you put the side panel on first? I have done that once before. Now I always leave it off until everything checks out.

It serves as a cook top, heat spreader, and making the card look more awesome.

I forgot to plug the power in on my card, when I put the new res in my pc and it came up on the monitor saying to plug the power leads in.

As for the back plate they do look good, and might have to look around and see if I can find them that don't have EK or EVGA on them.

It also has thermal pads to cool the back of the chip.

Do they do these for the Gigabyte card?

Looks amazing, much prefer cards with backplates.

I believe that this backplate will fit any reference design GTX 680 as they are all designed using the same PCB design and then the manufacturers put there branding on the cards. I don't think that Gigabyte sell there own branded backplate though.
