Backing Plate Mod for FuZion

[GreyMouser]

How funny! I have the exact same backplate and motherboard, and that's exactly how I set mine up (although mine is a Scythe backplate; they look identical, probably are,) and just used the Fuzion mounting gear in reverse from Fuzion's instructions. Not sure whether I got an "old" Scythe backplate or what, but the threading between the backplate and the Fuzion mounting gear was an exact match, not pass-through, so the screws just locked down into the plate. The only tricky bit was how to prevent the backplate from falling off the back of the mobo, necessitating a full dismount, if I needed to re-mount the waterblock (since the screws have to come all the way out to dismount the block with the Fuzion kit.) Sticky tape doesn't really give enough force to keep the plate attached to the back of the mobo when you're mounting, so I ended up screwing 2 screws in through the entire mount framework, sans spring, on opposite corners to keep a hold on the backplate, mounting the other 2 corners normally, then going back and springing the original corners. A little more time-consuming, but less so than dismounting the entire mobo from the tray every time! I guess I could have hacked off the screw tops from the Fuzion mount kit to simplify things, but eh...
