Help please!
Just gone to start installing my new CPU, motherboard and above block. It says AMD on the outside packing but the enclosed metal backplate is the one for Intel LGA15xx. I don't have one for AMD as shown in the instructions. I should have a separate one? I am not supposed to reuse the one I have just taken off?
Thanks Stephen
Edit: To answer my own question I've just looked at an unboxing video on youtube. EK have definitely put the wrong backplate in the box.
Edit 2: Just spoken to Overclockers. Sounds like they are going to grab the correct backplate out of their existing stock of EK AMD water blocks and post it out to me first thing on Monday. Very helpful given this wasn't their fault and it saves me returning an otherwise perfectly fine block
My 3900X is going to have to wait a little while longer to be unleashed.
