I'll make use of "tube spacers" to apply pressure to the CEK springs if required. A standard standoff is 6mm in length, the plate aluminium that I'm going to have made up has 1.5mm less height, so it will be able to take the full length of the screws beyond the screw post (The screws will be able to be driven 2.5 mm into the aluminium before the coolers starts exerting a downward force on the CPU's), driving the screws to a depth of 3.5mm should allow for a sufficient amount of pressure to be applied to the CPU’s. I checked the distance or depth to which the screw posts extend and they line up with the underside of the motherboard and the maximum extension length of the screws beyond that is 4mm with the coolers sitting on top of the CPU’s. I intend to have the plate made up from 4.5mm plate aluminium. But that fact has stopped me from buying a fair few boards on there, including a few Ive seen turn up pictured on here over the years. Of course now-a-days people dont realise they came with their own cooler mounting solution so they dont look for it on the ebay auction description. It used to be something of a problem when they first hit the used market because they almost never came with the back plates. If making your own, watch the height of the tapped threads (may have to add small threaded spacers) so as to apply sufficient load when the heatsinks are screwed fully downĪll the Supermicro 603/604 boards I bought over the years came with the back plates. You also used to be able to get similar generic solutions like this - hard to find today though. and my Iwill Dh800 came with a full size backplate to be screwed to the chassis. My Asus NCCH-DL & NCCH-DR boards both came with the X-PAD accessory kit, with adhesive backplates plus various heights of threaded nuts and rubber pads (these replaced the CEK springs).
