Hi guys,
I have an unused H60 that I want to give to my brother to better cool his Q9650@4.1GHz, but... the last time I tried mounting it there was not enough pressure and needless to say the cooling was abysmal. Looking at the manual it seems the H60 backplate absolutely requires that metal block which is usually found behind the socket on newer Intel boards. LGA775 doesn't have one hence no pressure against the CPU. What can i use to fix this situation without wrecking anything? On Thermalright backplates there's a plastic insert to compensate for lack of the metal block, but Corsair doesn't have anything like that.
