I cant help you with the threading part but I don't see the point with that if you're inserting the screw from the back anyway.
I've used the Thermalright one for my Fuzion V1 mount: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/thlgrmrebr.html
Keep in mind that the double sided tape is really strong and either keep the protective film on or just remove parts of it. It took me quite some time to get all the residue off when I removed it.
At the moment I'm using the EK backplate: http://www.petrastechshop.com/eksuuncpuwab.html
You might want to glue the metal and rubber parts together to make installation easier.
Those are the two backplates I have experience with but I'm sure there are more.
CM Stacker STC-T01, Corsair HX620, ASUS P5Q-Deluxe, E8400 E0 @4.05/1.375v,
Crucial Ballistix PC6400 @560/5-5-5-18/2.1v, HIS HD4870 w/ vmod.
Laing D5 + EK X-TOP , D-TEK Fuzion w/ 4.5mm nozzle, D-TEK Fuzion GFX w/ "Saltshaker" mod,
Thermochill PA120.3, 1/2" 3/4" Tygon B-44-4X.
The EK backplate will do that.
EVGA X58 Classified
Intel i7 965
Corsair Dominator 1600mhz 3x2gb
Nvidia GTX 295
I think EK use a metric threading ?
Thermalright might be the right one but I don't think it's 6-32 as well. Look like M3.
thermalright backplate is threaded
Asus P6T, I7-920, 6gb ocz xmp, 4890, Raid 0-1 Terabyte, full watercooled - Triple Loop 5 radiators
The EK backplate has 5mm un-threaded holes so way oversized to be tapped and threaded to 6-32.
Oh, I'm learning something :p Yes, the EK backplate would be a good option then.
Thanks found the ek backplates and ordered
