14 DAY TRIAL // Cooling modules for video cards usually come in the shape of heatsinks with fans and heatpipes and don't often get sold separately, but EVGA did something less than ordinary for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570.
For those that do not remember, the GeForce GTX 570 graphics card from NVIDIA is the second fastest 500 Series card from the Santa Clara, California-based company.
Of course, the card has its very own reference cooler that handles its heat emissions just fine, but enthusiasts often find that they want better solutions.
NVIDIA's various partners have already delivered custom-cooled iterations of the board, or just cooling modules, waterblocks included, for it.
EVGA itself has its own share of such products, and it seems that it has added a new item to its portfolio, one that is quite a bit more unusual than the rest.
Basically, EVGA unleashed not a new fan, or a heatsink or waterblock, but a backplate, dubbed EVGA GTX 570 Backplate with Edgeprotect.
Its main purpose is, of course, heat dissipation, but it will also contribute by adding some sturdiness to the PCB (printed circuit board).
EVGA has already added the product to its website and claims that it is compatible with all version of the GTX 570, as long as they stay faithful to the reference design.
In other words, the product works with all GTX 570 cards, save for the most unusual ones, shape-wise, if any exist that is.
As such, one can buy a video board form any of NVIDIA's manufacturing partners and equip it with EVGA's backplate.
Those that have read enough and are convinced of their desire to buy the product, or just want to learn more about it, need only drop by this page.
Should one decide on acquiring it, they will have to part with the sum of $19.99.
