yeah i know it's a really sketchy solution, but only temporary. The block actually doesn't come with a backplate for some reason and just uses the default am4 backplate, but I threw that away when I installed my previous cooler since it used a seperate backplate. So, I just ripped apart an Identical intel backplate, and poked the posts through the back of my mobo, and screwed the pump into that. I'm looking to get a new am4 backplate soon, and I just tried putting less pressure on the block, but no difference.
