lga 1366 server backplate

[Matt_98]

I have a dual socket lga 1366 motherboard on the way, as far as I can see the integrated backplate is nonremovable, does anyone know what thread screws lga 1366 Xeon backplates use

[slightlyjaded]

As far as I am aware enthusiast grade mobo's use a standardish backplane, including standard screws... The reason I don't get screws for my x99 cooler is because I don't need new ones.

yea but for lga 1366 i was told the server boards used different backplates, if it comes to it I can re-thread the holes to fit my coolers

I suspect ( and can't confirm) that while the backplate might be custom, the screws are not, and will be compatible with standard x99 cooler screws.

I dont have x99 though I'm using some push pin coolers with the clips ripped off.http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/akasa-ak-968-x4-cpu-air-cooler-n48hr

yeah, a push pin cooler is different. Those are specifically designed for specific chipset sizes.  If your chipset is not listed in compatibility, then you're asking in the wrong place. I will laugh at the question, and our most reticent member will giggle.

It's a little different. Those push pin setups actually require a separate backplane as they are not setup for the weight an aftermarket cooler will exert on the socket. If those companies are supplying the cooler, then they will supply a compatible backplane.

Sorry Im not making much sense, the motherboard has  a backplate simmilar to x99, and i can remove the pushpins and there is space to put a screw in and thread that into the motherboard backplate. @slightlyjaded

The threads will almost definitely be standard. Since it already has a backplate, then the only thing you might need is a custom bracket for the cooler. If compatibility isn't listed, then before making one yourself, ask the company directly if they make an adapter. Sometimes you get lucky

I used some hard drive screws and managed to get them on, temps are up to 85 load though might need to remount them
