EK-FC R9-290X Reinforcer is a optional reinforcing frame upgrade for your EK-FC R9-290X water block. Made from press bent black powder coated steel this item strenghtens the graphics card / water block assembly.
By attaching to the original I/O bracket this product reduces stress to circuit board when used in single-card configuration and provides additional security during computer transportation.
EK-FC R9-290X Reinforcer is guaranteed to be compatible only with reference PCB design Radeon R9 290X series graphics card in combination with any EK-FC R9-290X series water block except for the Original CSQ version!

No other water blocks or graphics cards are officially supported! Please check our Cooling Configurator for detailed compatibility list!

KNOWN LIMITATIONS:

The HEATKILLER® V eBC backplate is a useful addition for the HEATKILLER® V VGA water blocks. Mounted on the backside of the graphics card, it improves the cooling performance while also granting mechanical stability. This is due to the construction out of massive black anodized aluminum. Even more, it also just looks good.
The backplate cools relevant components on the PCB’s backside, including GPU, RAM, and voltage regulation (VRM). Pre-cut thermal pads are included in the scope of delivery.
Isolating spacers on the backside of the backplate ensure easy installation.
The enclosed mounting material is optimized for usage with HEATKILLER® V water blocks. The backplate can be used with water blocks of other manufacturers. You might need to modify the mounting material, though. This is not part of the delivery scope.
