AMD X2 s939 backing plates?

Hi all

Do the AMD X2 s939 4800+ units come with a backing plate? I want to fit a ThermalRight SI-120 to the CPU on an AsRock 939Dual-SATA2 mobo, but the Thermaltake website says:


http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_support_faq_motherboard_si120.htm

Since the Asrock (and Gigabyte) K8 boards use push-pin type RM's, there is no backplate in the back of motherboard to support Thermalright’s customized RM. You will need to purchase separately a metal K8 backplate.

If the AMD doesnt come with a backing plate, any idea where can I get one from?

Many thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated.
