Im building a new PC (my 5th build) and ive come across a new problem. Before mounting my new MB in the case, i want to attach the backplate for mounting my cpu cooler unit.
The backplate has “legs” which go through the MB from the back and are then secured using stand off posts. My assumption is that these are meant to hold the backplate tightly so that when attached the cooler pump is securely fixed to the MB.
However, the “legs” seem to be too long and when they are fully tightened, there is approx 5mm gap between the bottom of the stand off and the mb, allowing movement. Thisnsurely can’t be right?
Am i being stupid, or does anyone have any thoughts on a remedy?
