    How much mounting pressure are you applying to cause a Scythe backplate to bend?!?! Those things are pretty damn strong...

    Anyway, it's nice that these are finally available

    Does the backplate come with mounting nuts to tighten down the waterblock?

    Yea, it comes with the screws and spacers for a hard mount. (No springs necessary)
    It results in a very stable mount.

    I live in Hong Kong and Swiftech were kind enough to send me the fatter O-Ring to bow the base.

    Hopefully I can receive the same kindness this time round. Have just emailed Michelle with my details.

    I can say that this sort of service (free O-Ring, free Backplate AFTER purchase) really keeps me buying from Swiftech. Good show!

    anyone got a closeup image of the backplate

    it seems that they have a raised rubberised centre to put pressure in the centre of the CPU socket right underneath the block which is what i was planning on doing with my cube case mod and also use mounting screws directly in the motherboard tray


    why do they exclude Apogee original from description for that backplate

    have they changed something with the original block?

    That is great! I have already sent my information. Any chance of a drop in temperatures with a tighter mount? Probably not is what I am thinking.

    I got it today and already installed it.

    What a pain to install in comparison to the original mount.
