Hello.I own recently a MSI 5700XT Mech OC, but it gets hell hot.
Can someone advice if this product is compatible?


Also, ask help if i can install without backplate, since isn`t compatible with original.
Already have custom WC, from Heatkiller and D5 pump + 2 radiators.

Thank you!
P.S Before ask me, i do not have box, but only this on the blackpate: S/N1: 602-V381-226SB..............

Thanks for the reply.
About the backplate. Can i install without it, or is it mandatory for cooling and reinforce? Is it still possible to buy?

Thanks in advance!

There is no need to use the backplate. It is only for the appearance and protection of the PCB. As long as you don't touch it with your finger during operation or put your coffee cup down.... it is unnecessary.

I ask, because modern graphics do have some dissipaters, above memory's, to also help dissipate heat to the backplate.....
My previous R9 270 didnt have nothing, and no problems.

Thanks for the reply.

Unless there is a VRam on the back of the graphics card, you don't necessarily need the backplate. Cooling via the backplate does not help that much. You can neglect that.
