hi all,
i just got a heatkiller 3.0 all copper,i have no distibutor plate with it and do i need it?
also the fittings that came with it consist of just 4 x springs and 4 x screws,is that all is needed for fitting (if anyone has pics of there amd heatkiller fitting would be very appreciated),instructions arent very good.
many thanks for any help and info

You don't need the distributor plate for a native quad core like the Phenom II X4 (that's if you mean the small divider in the inlet)

The screws with the springs on them have to be screwed in the standard AMD backplate that comes with the mobo.

Hope this helps.

been panicing over not having a plate with heatkiller,my cpu is a AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz (Socket AM3) on a asus m4a79deluxe mobo.
many thanks

Hi beanie ... I'm sure you will be fine without the plate - as Zeus pointed out. The 955 runs MUCH cooler than the i7 CPUs, so your heatkiller should be the king of cooling for it.
