Spesification for AM3+ backplate

[Mr_cheezypotato]

As title says i am in need of a am3+ backplate and i hope to make it myself. The reason i would like to make it myself is to save time since me and my frinds would like to get our minecraft server running asap, and buying a backplate from china will take ages to ship. I heave no problems doing some diy, bbut i  need the mesurments and hole sizes but i was not able to find them.

There you go,and the holes should be drilled exactly at each corner:

This could make it simpler to understand (and i recommend the remove a square from the middle):

You also need to do ceramic coating to the back of the backplate to prevent shorts.

If it's made from plastic then you don't need to do ceramic coating.

Break apart a  DVD case or CD case and cut square in the middle and drill holes and  you have the backplate

For extra safety, add a few layers of scotch tape / electrical tape on both sides.

It looks good,you also have to replicate the square hole in the middle.

 

But i have one concern,plastic is not a good material for a back plate since plastic can crack or break from the mounting pressure.

I use steel backplate with ceramic coating on the back.
