Do I need to buy a backplate?

[czilla7901]

I have a 6800xt reference radeon on the way. I purchased the Eisblock Aurora GPX-A GPU Water Block, RX 6800/6800XT/6900 Reference, Plexi. However, I was informed that it did not include the backplate. Do you guys know if I can use the factory one? Or do I need to buy the 6800/6900 XT backplate (Alphacool)? I'm having trouble locating the 6800 gpx-a backplate online. Is it available for individual purchase?

Backplate is always included with our cooler. The most other brands have them not included ;-)
