I've heard that the 680 backplate will fit though since they are the same pcb. Intel Core i7-3820 4.75Ghz EVGA X79 FTW Corsair Vengeance 12GB DDR3 1600 XFX 850W Black Edition EVGA Geforce GTX 670 FTW

^ Correct.
There is no backplate that says 670 to fit the 670 FTW PCB.
The GTX 680 backplate will fit, but why would you? It will have the wrong info written on it.

I have even suggested that EVGA sell the "680" backplate before the 680 logo is printed. Customer service just stated that at this time there is not a 670 FTW backplate. Come on EVGA, skip a step and make the 670 FTW crowd happy. The 670 FTW logo would be nice but a blank one will work.

The primary usage would be looks or for protection. 3770K @ 5.4ghz -45c \|\| evga z77 ftw \|\| 2x evga gtx680 sc sig \|\| 8gb 2.4ghz cl10 \|\| 480gb vertex3 raid0
