[QUOTE="BIKeINSTEIN, post: 971979, member: 1156"] Very sad indeed. :( TR supplies backplate for the AM2 bolt-thru kit now? Can't recollect properly but the AM2 kits with the few TRUEs i used had the top-plate and the bolts+springs only- no backplate iirc. :S) Most AM2 coolers supply only the top-plate and bolts+springs and one is supposed to use the oem backplate* that comes with the mobo, since socket 939 days. *(usually metal but cheapo mobos have some plastic/fibre thingie and some even don't have screws- secured with plastic push-pins) The DFI plastic backplates needed to be changed to ASUS or Foxconn metal ones else the oem screw to be used for for TtBT wouldn't reach the nut. And it was anyways recommend to get a metal backplate and most users did get one. I haven't ever heard of a TtBT dropping off like that ever- and that thing didn't even have springs. Spring-washers or spring-loaded bolts are meant to maintain tension/pressure/friction and not loosen over time. So very unusual and unlucky for the victim. :( [/QUOTE]
