1) To install your V1 Tech Custom Graphics Card Backplate, we recommend first removing the graphics
card from your PC.
2) If you opt to use the provided magnets for an easily removable installation, first apply the provided
double-sided tape to one side of the magnets by peeling the protective plastic on the tape and sticking
the tape directly to the magnet. Place the magnets onto the tallest screws* on the back of your graphics
card with the tape facing away from the graphics card.
If a semi-permanent installation is desired, apply the provided double-sided tape directly to the tallest
screws* on the back of your graphics card.
*Note: Ensure that as much surface area is covered as possible, start with the far corners of the graphics card and
evenly distribute magnets/adhesive as you work inward to ensure that as much surface area is covered as possible for
a secure installation.
3) Peel the protective plastic on the other side of the double-sided tape and position the V1 Tech Custom
Graphics Card Backplate directly over the rear of your graphics card (double check to ensure that the
backplate is oriented the correct way by aligning with any SLI or PCIe power cutouts if present. Press

Method 1: If you wish to control your V1 Tech RGB component with the included RF remote, simply
connect the SATA RF cable to a SATA power cable from your power supply. Connect the other end of
the SATA RF cable to the LED connector on your V1 Tech RGB component.
Method 1: If you wish to control your V1 Tech RGB component with the included RF remote, simply
Method 2: If you wish to control your V1 Tech RGB component with your motherboard RGB control
software, simply connect the included motherboard 5V cable to an available 3-pin 5V addressable RGB
header* on your motherboard. Connect the other end of the motherboard 5V cable to the LED
connector on your V1 Tech RGB component.
*Note: Please ensure to avoid plugging into a 4-pin 12V non-addressable RGB header, this WILL DAMAGE the LEDs
and could result in damage to your motherboard. Refer to the image below for examples of a 3-pin 5V addressable
RGB header and a 4-pin 12V non-addressable RGB header.
Method 3: If you wish to control your V1 Tech RGB component with the CORSAIR iCUE Software, simply
connect the included CORSAIR iCUE cable to a CORSAIR Commander PRO or Lighting Node PRO.
Connect the other end of the CORSAIR iCUE cable to the LED connector on your V1 Tech RGB

Like most people buying this product, my graphics card, a GTX 1070, did not come with a backplate. I was tired of having a beautiful looking PC, but having to look at an ugly PCB. Figured this wouldn’t be a bad solution and it isn’t terribly expensive.
I figured it would ship in a few days and I’d have it by the end of the next week. This was not the case. It took almost 2 weeks after date of purchase for the order to ship. However, shipping only took two days, so it wasn’t that bad. Just be aware that all orders are handmade and take a bit to get out.
Next is the actual installation of the backplate. The included instructions were slightly confusing for somebody who is still newish to building computers. Luckily, the product page has a great video on it. As far as mounting methods go, I feel as though the magnets aren’t that great of a way to mount to the GPU. The first try installing it, the magnets slid all over the place and I had to take it off and redo it. Even now, it’s still crooked and I gave up. I chose to use the Corsair iCue installation as well (pulled a newbie move and couldn’t figure out what sata power was so I went and bought a fan kit/lighting node pro but that’s a different story). Anyway, it works great. iCue recognized it with no issues, though it taking up one of two RGB lanes on the Lighting Node is slightly annoying.
And finally, we get to the actual look, the whole point of buying an RGB backplate. First off, they are VERY BRIGHT. Like, if you’re at the right eye-level, you will be blinded. You can see each individual LED through the clear acrylic, which is something I wish was more diffused, as the look isn’t very appealing to me. Other than that, the colors are great and everything can be controlled with iCue flawlessly. Not sure about the other methods unfortunately.
All in all, if you’re wanting a relatively cheap solution to polish up your computer, this isn’t a bad option at all. Hopefully further design improvements, such as light diffusion and alternate mounting solutions, will be at least looked into.

Custom logo backplate was created exactly as envisioned and the V1 team reached out to confirm dimensions on a new gpu to make sure everything would fit perfectly. Would definitely recommend.

I purchased this RGB GPU backplate to install in a new gaming system I built as a 22nd anniversary gift for my wife. The product was packaged very well and it arrived in perfect condition. All of the accessories (remote control, cables, magnets, etc.) were included along with a complete set of step-by-step installation instructions.
I installed the backplate on my GPU with 3M double-sided tape (clear) and connected it to a Corsair Commander Pro unit using the included iCue cable. It looks fantastic! It is bright and the colors are rich and vibrant. It really enhanced the overall appearance of the PC and she loves it! Thank you and keep up the good work!!
P.S. The funny letter you sent with it was perfect. It made us both laugh out loud. This was priceless (she was recovering in the ICU from surgery). It is rare, these days, to find people with a sense of humor and it was a nice touch 🙂
