*WARNING* stupid question

[Shd0w2]

When I first built my PC a LONG time ago, I had a friend build it, and now, I've rebuilt it many times, adding stuff, but recently, my current motherboard has problems, and I'm returning it. 

I don't know whether the backplate part for mounting of the CPU cooler comes with the CPU cooler, or motherboard... It comes with the CPU cooler right? 

WARNING, SORRY FOR STUPID QUESTION.

comes with cooler

 

edit: or not

usually the back plate came from the cooler.

comes with cooler

For AMD mounting the backplate comes with the motherboard. The cooler can include a blackplate though.

 

Most mounting solutions make use of the stock AMD mounts/backplate.

 

this is a somewhat stupid question because we can't really answer it correctly (especially with the given information) and you could have found this out yourself without that much difficulty. Asking this question was probably as difficult as finding out, and us figuring this out is more difficult.

Its ok, you had no idea because you never built one, you build "millions" of Intel machines... lol.

yeah that was a ridiculous exaggeration the real number is less than 30.

That's still a lot. The most I will make this year is like 3.

Yup

Seems to depend on the age of the board. My old Intel boards came with them, but most nowadays come with the coolers.
