Q: Is This back plate compatible with EVGA SSC GTX970 P/N:04G-3979-KB ?

yes, this backplate is specifically design for the SSC GTX970.

Question 1

Does this come with heat sink pads for the memory chips?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  The pads are pre-adhered to the backside of the plate.  These also serve to keep the plate from touching any metal on the PCB to prevent shorts.  Looking at the material of the pads, I'm not sure they will do too much heat transfer, but they're better than nothing.

Question 2

Is this backplate compatible with my EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2974-KR 4GB SC? Thanks for input.

Accepted Answer

This only fits the ssc ending in 75 and the ftw

Question 3

Will this fit the non + (ACX2.0) card?  i.e. 3975-KR?  I don't know if there is a significant change to the PCB...

Accepted Answer

I don't believe so, EVGA's site shows two separate back plates, one for GTX 970 and the GTX 970 with the ACX2.0.  There is a notable difference between the two if you compare the images to one another.
