Backplates for SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon™ RX 5700 XT 8 GB gpu

Hey! I recently built my SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon™ RX 5700 XT 8 GB graphics card for water cooling using the Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A Radeon 5600/5700 XT Pulse / Mech & Evoke GPU block and noticed that it didn't have a backplate with it. So I tried to modify the original backplate of the gpu to make it compatible with the new gpu cooling block (I'm mechanical engineering student, so I wanted to try my creativity...). But after four hours of work, I realized that the screws on the GPU block were too short to use with the original backplate (in other words, all my work was for nothing :/). I did a little research and found that you used to offer backplates for this particular GPU/block combination and that brings me to my question: So do you still manufacture or sell backplates for this gpu? Because I would be really willing to buy one if you do still offer it. Sorry for my English, I'm from Finland.

Oh, the English doesn’t matter — you could even write in Finnish. Thanks to various AI tools, everything can be translated quite easily these days :)
But unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. We no longer offer the backplate separately, so I can’t help you with that. The coolers and backplates have been EOL for quite a long time. We only still had some coolers left because we were far too optimistic with production, and in the end they barely sold at all. The demand was practically zero.
Your only option would be to try and find suitable screws for the original backplate. Our blocks use M2 threads for backplate mounting. However, I can’t tell you what exact screw length you would need in your case.

Voi kirjoittaa myös suomeksi – nykyisten AI-työkalujen ansiosta kaiken saa käännettyä varsin helposti :)
Valitettavasti joudun kuitenkin tuottamaan pettymyksen. Emme enää tarjoa backplatea erikseen, joten en voi auttaa siinä asiassa. Sekä blokit että backplatet ovat olleet EOL-tuotteita jo pitkän aikaa. Meillä oli vielä joitakin blokkeja varastossa, koska olimme tuotannon suhteen aivan liian optimistisia, ja lopulta ne eivät käytännössä myyneet lainkaan. Kysyntä oli lähes nolla.
Ainoa vaihtoehtosi on yrittää löytää sopivat ruuvit alkuperäistä backplatea varten. Meidän blokeissamme backplaten kiinnitykseen käytetään M2-kierteitä. En kuitenkaan valitettavasti osaa sanoa, minkä pituiset ruuvit sinun tapauksessasi tarvittaisiin.

I hope the Finnish translation is understandable?
