Hi,

I recently have purchased a second hand sapphire 9070xt nitro+ which didnt come with the magnetic backplate or the 2x6pin cable, ive managed to find a replacement cable but I've been struggling to find a backplate online.

I did contact sapphire just to see if they sell them without much luck.

Is the magnetic backplate needed? or is it more for aesthetics/keeping dust out? If anyone has a good solution, id love to know.
