Reinforced, rigid back plate for Socket AM5 motherboards. Due to the increased stability compared to die cut sheet metal back plates, cooling performance of the CPU cooler is often significantly increased. The back plate is milled from massive aluminum and anodized in black. It also replaces the original back plate of the motherboard and is screwed directly to the CPU retention mechanism of the CPU socket. The rigid assembly reduces deformation of the motherboard in the CPU area to an absolute minimum and protects the sensitive CPU socket - highly recommended for frequent CPU/cooler installation or when using coolers with increased contact pressure. A plastic foil is installed in the relevant area of the back plate for electric insulation and protection of the delicate pcb tracks in contact with the back plate. Dimensions: ca. 104 x 65 x 12,5 mm Compatible with: cuplex kryos NEXT for Socket AM5 All air and liquid coolers that use the original back plate of the motherboard Scope of delivery: One back plate made from aluminum, anodized
