Cooling without a backplate

[Qwerty1]

Hi

my friend just bought an am4 rig and while building it he found out that the mobo backplate (that is used to mount the cooler) isn't there so can he just use the screws that come with the Intel back plate (he won't use the whole thing, he'll just get the screws out of it and put it in the holes) so will that damage the pc?

Why not just order the backplate or a cooler that isn't missing parts

It's gonna take a couple of days and He's in a hurry

its either not gonna have enough pressure or damage the motherboards or maybe why not both?

 

there's like a very small chance it'll work but i wouldn't recommend it at all, i don't even think its safe, let alone won't damage components.

The backplate is designed to equally distribute pressure, and CPU coolers are designed to have a very high pressure on the CPU to ensure proper mounting contact.

 

Four screws with nuts on the other side will concentrate too much pressure on those four spots instead of over the back of the CPU socket.

put the pc sideways and put the cooler on

 

Spoiler

like this with no mounting so basically just using gravity and i assume you have a case so it wont be the bare board

 

temps wont be as good as with proper mounting but itll suffice till the mounting arrives

This is going to bend the cpu socket and break something.

 

Just order the part and wait.
