GTX 670 Waterblock W/ Backplate

[Jeremy1998]

Hello all. I am considering this card (link), paired with this block (link). I get that the card is a 670, and the block is a 680. The 670 is on the PCB of a 680, so it's actually what I need. However, I'm not sure about the backplate. I like the default backplate on the card, because it is marked 670. If I buy the EK backplate, then it will be falsely marked as a 680.

So, does anyone know if the screws are compatible, or what screw set I could buy to use the default EVGA backplate on the EK waterblock?

I'm pretty sure evga don't make a backplate for the 670 ftw. If they did I would have got two for mine. I got the ek csq for a 680 and I'm telling you it looks a million times better in person than on a screen and the model number isn't really that stand out as its fairly small. Hope that helps a little

the FTW is the same board as the 680......

Also, the 670 FTW+ (the + shows that it's a 4gb model) comes with a backplate stock on it. I really just need to know if the EVGA backplate will fit with that EK waterblock or not? Because I really like the default EVGA backplate.

I don't think it will work

I don't think the block will work with the 4gb card. There was a video of the same card and block on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbKDjjY6Wq8

That is not as FTW model,that is the SC model.
