If your RTX 3080 or 3090 is thermal throttling mid-render or your VRAM temperatures are spiking during long gaming sessions, the stock backplate is doing almost nothing to help. PC builders, overclockers, and content creators who push high-end GPUs hard need active backplate cooling that actually moves heat away from the card's rear. This GPU backplate cooler mounts directly to the back of your graphics card and adds dual active fans over a dense aluminum fin array to pull heat away from the backplate and VRAM modules.
Each kit includes one GPU backplate heatsink unit (approximately 18 cm × 9 cm × 1.5 cm / ≈7.1" × 3.5" × 0.6"), a silicone-free thermal pad for direct contact heat transfer, adjustable elastic mounting clips for tool-friendly installation, nylon gloves, alcohol cleaning wipes, and a cleaning brush. The heatsink base is machined from 1.5mm thick aluminum — roughly 50% thicker than the 1mm base common on competing backplate coolers — for greater thermal mass and faster heat spreading across the fin stack.
This backplate cooler is a practical upgrade for gamers running RTX 3090 or 3080 cards in warm cases who are seeing VRAM temperatures above 90°C; for 3D artists and video editors doing sustained GPU rendering where backplate heat buildup causes clock speed drops; and for overclockers looking to extract more stable performance headroom by keeping the entire card cooler during extended workloads.

This GPU backplate cooler is designed primarily for high-end cards such as the RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090. The adjustable elastic mounting clips generally allow it to fit a range of dual- and triple-slot cards with similar backplate dimensions. Confirm your card's backplate length against the cooler's approximate 18 cm (≈7.1") footprint before ordering.
Measure your graphics card's backplate length and width. This cooler measures approximately 18 cm × 9 cm (≈7.1" × 3.5"). It is generally suited to full-size dual- and triple-slot GPUs. If your card is shorter (e.g., mini-ITX variants), contact us to confirm fit before purchasing.
This kit includes a silicone-free thermal pad — not traditional thermal paste or grease. The pad is sized for direct contact between the cooler base and the GPU backplate surface. Alcohol wipes and a cleaning brush are also included to prep the surface before installation for best thermal contact.
Dual ball-bearing fans generally offer longer service life and more consistent performance under sustained high-temperature operation compared to hydraulic (sleeve) bearing fans. For a GPU running hot for hours during gaming or rendering, ball-bearing fans typically maintain stable RPM and airflow over time without the bearing degradation common in hydraulic designs.
Installing a third-party backplate cooler may affect your GPU manufacturer's warranty. In most cases, adding an external backplate cooler that does not require disassembling the GPU itself carries lower risk than internal modifications, but we recommend checking your GPU manufacturer's warranty terms before installation to be sure.
The 1.5mm aluminum base is approximately 50% thicker than the 1mm base found on many competing backplate coolers. Greater material thickness generally means more thermal mass and faster heat spreading across the fin array, which can translate to lower sustained GPU backplate temperatures during extended gaming or GPU compute workloads.
Each kit includes: (1) GPU backplate heatsink with dual RGB fans, (2) silicone-free thermal pad, (3) adjustable elastic mounting clips, (4) nylon gloves, (5) alcohol cleaning wipes, and (6) a cleaning brush. Everything you need for a clean installation is in the box.
