Some elements are behind and i can't use for sure this one:

- THERMALRIGHT LGA775 BOLT-THRU KIT (http://www.cooling.pl/thermalright-adapter-do-ultra-120-90-hr01-dla,produkt,2098.html) (EVGA forum members says - you must cut backplate in few places ).

I found zalman backplate, maybe this will be good:

- Zalman (http://www.cooling.pl/zalman-zmcs1-dla-lga775-socket-t,produkt,647.html)

Maybe someone can help ?

Not the Zalman part you linked to. It isn't a back plate.
Zalman do sell a back plate for their 9700, but it too, like the Thermaltake plate, needs to be trimmed to miss componants on some of the evga-680i boards. Only the first boards have caps there and it's easy to file or drill the back plate to clear them.
Buy the TT plate.

You write about Thermaltake plate, but this is Thermalright :)

Yes, but he means buy the Thermaltake one, as it is different to most backplates.

It is shapped like a bar with two T ends and will most likely miss the components.

I use this on my EVGA 680i and D-Tek WB: http://www.petrastechshop.com/scsunrekit.html

Works great, just stick it on there, and it works perfect.

I had to drill a small hole over one of them chip`s with my backplate,omgg the difference if made fitting this.

what board? A1? T1? A0?

as far as I understand the early revisions (pre quad OC fix) have components on the back in the way.

Yes you have right.

This one is on my AR, the first boards, and is all you need.

That's the Thermalright you linked in your openning post.

One thing i love about this plate is that the Dtek factory bolts will fit on this backplate.

That makes mounting a hell of a lot easier.
