Hi there,

I still havent got all the bits for my first build but just got another quick qustion before it all starts.

Ive read on the net that this processor needs a special plate which goes under the motherboard to accept the heat sink. I got one of these plates with my Lian Li A71-B but becasue the mobo is a skulltrail and i'll have two of these cpu's, does that mean i need to try and source another one of these backplates from somewhere?
 
Yeah just the default one you'll get with the cpu. I'm guessing i'll have two, one for each cpu. But i'm thinking that probably means i need two of these special mounting plates.
