Question Water cooled backplate??

[Some1helpme]

So I have my 2080 ti vertically mounted, in afterburner it says the temps are in the low 70's but the backplate it HOOOTTT. I painted it white and love how it have it up so I want to keep it air cooled.

Anyway Is there anyway to attach a water block to the backplate? Maybe a custom block that uses backplate bolt patter just a bit longer? CPU is water cooled so it would just be one more stop in the loop.

What do you mean it's hot?

Humans and machines have different ideas of what is actually hot, so can you define more detail?

It's hot to the touch l, obviously fine to card, just wondering if I cool this then it would lower overall card temperature.

1) Don't touch it with anything while it is operational. There is a potential for you to burn yourself as well as shorting the card by touching it while the system is powered on....this could be temporary as in a freeze/reboot or could cause additional damage. I've seen freezes/reboots first hand by a someone just touching his GPU and RAM while the system was running.

2) Again, hot to a human doesn't mean it is hot to a machine. An automobile engine is very hot for a human, but acceptable for the car.

3) Having good case airflow is the best way to combat thermal issues. If you have good airflow and nothing is overheating (example: temperatures above thermal capacity or recommended ceilings, not just 'hot to my fingers')

Don't worry about it, your card is fine.

Technically you could jerry-rig a cooler on the back, but it wouldn't do much. You're better off buying higher quality case fans if you don't already have those.

On no I'm not worried about the card, had a 970 blower style and ran in the high 80's for years still kicking in friends system. Was more of a something to tinker with.

No I don't touch anything that's "working" such as what you guys stated, what I feel that's hot is the back plate, covering all the important circuitry. Usually raised off pcb. Airflow is good but back doesnt get much do to the riser cable.
