Hey guys,

My CPU backplate has broke but struggling to find anywhere decent to get hold of one. Strange that OCUK don't seem to stock socket 1155 backplates. Anyone know where I can get hold of one?
 
I've no idea how you'd break it so are are you talking about the backplate fitted to the CPU socket?

Or do you mean the backplate for a specific CPU cooler?

He mentions stock, I assume the back plate which keeps the lotus mounting thing in place.

He mentions stock as in inventory not stock as in standard.

I did think it's the one you're referring to but I find it difficult to fathom how you'd break it.

FYI it's Lotes not Lotus.
 
Ive broke this part.

edit: removed

Am i wrong? thought this was called a backplate. its just the stock one. And I have no idea how it broke. Just opened my case yesterday and its got a snap on one of the 4 legs

You've broken one of the fittings on the CPU cooler backplate not the CPU socket backplate (which is the silver coloured one you can see underneath).

I wasn't sure which one you meant.

You'll likely have to contact the manufacturer of the cooler for a replacement.
