## Summary description

The Alphacool 11697 Backplate is designed to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your computer cooling system. With a sleek black finish, it provides a clean look while ensuring compatibility with various setups. This single piece accessory is essential for improving thermal performance and maintaining optimal temperatures within your system.

## Long description

The Alphacool 11697 backplate is made for use with the Alphacool NexXxoS GPX Pro Solo GPU cooler. It stabilises the graphics card assembly by distributing contact pressure evenly across the PCB and pairs with an optional heat conduction pad to minimise PCB bending and enhance thermal transfer. The backplate’s black finish provides a discreet appearance while supporting improved cooling performance when combined with appropriate thermal interface materials.
Advantages
The backplate improves mechanical support for the GPU PCB and ensures more uniform pressure from the mounting area. When used together with a suitable heat conduction pad, it reduces the risk of PCB deformation and can contribute to better heat dissipation thanks to its finned rear surface. The single-piece design is compatible with the Alphacool GPX Pro Solo cooler and preserves a low-profile, black aesthetic.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
Enhancing structural support of GPUs equipped with the Alphacool GPX Pro Solo cooler
Reducing PCB bending when used with a heat conduction pad
Improving rear-side heat dissipation in custom liquid-cooled systems
