The backplate

The kit comes with a double back plate to make the air exhaust hole nice and neat. This takes up an extra expansion slot. It has a switch for high and low speed. It'd be nice to have the speed thermally controlled, but usually I can imagine it being at full speed all the time anyway. This way you can just use it whenever you are gaming.

They also include this grounding plate since "without proper grounding of the heatsink it can come in rare cases to system crashes". It goes between the back plate and the headers on the card. I guess they've had issues with static buildup between the heatsink and the board so this seems like a fairly good solution. That text is about as bad as the German translations get, in general the instruction sheet provided is very clear with good quality photos and details instructions in both German and English.

All put together. Looks spiffy.
