Alright lads, i asked this question in the cpu area before but i didnt explain it very well, plus wasnt sure if that was the correct place to post. I'll try to clarify it a lot better.

So i'm getting the skulltrail board on which i'll mount 2No Intel Xeon L5420A Socket 771, Harpertown Core.

From these reviews i found on the net when looking for installation instructions, of one of the same type of cpus, its clear that a special backplate is needed when installing.

Now in my case there was a backplate which i reckon is the part i need, the only problem being that i assume i'll need two not one, which is my main question

In the review they seem to say you cant buy these anywhere but if i need another i thought i could contact the case manufacturer Lian Li.

Thanks for any help guys, after this i should be set to go.
