Hi,
I am putting my system together and hope I didn't make a wrong move. I have
the Asus K8V mb and it came with a back plate and retaining frame. I took
off the retaining frame and placed the gold nipples on the back plate. I
looked at the pack plate that came with the cooler and noticed that it
didn't have small studs which protrude through the mb as the Asus back plate
does.
Can I use the Asus back plate and will it get enough contact with the cpu?
If I have to use the Zalman back plate without the built in studs, I did
take the backing off the back plate. (Probably shouldn't have, but thought
it was just is was suppose to be removed.)
The Asus back plate seems to be glued on fairly well.
Sorry if I didn't make this clearer. Appreciate your help.
