I was looking around for the screw-in backplate type heatsink bracket and was wondering if there is a certain version for different heatsinks?
I have this one.

Is there a certain one? Or are they all interchangeable?
Many thanks!

Your cooler has push pins so I'm not sure how you could mount a back plate to it.

I was hoping I could replace the push pins........
Couldn't I pop them out and use screws instead?
Shouldn't be too hard?

What are you hoping to gain by using a backplate?

Because it's intel. And they have the faster processor now so whatever they say is justified!

Probably easier to get a new cooler than trying to do something like that.
