Backplate Cooler For Intel Socket 775

MikeTyson · Oct 3, 2010

Can someone recommend a cooler with a backplate for socket 775, as I really hate push pin shitty coolers cos my motherboard is such a tight squeeze I can never get them to fit properly...

I like the look and reviews of the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 but it doesn't have a backplate, is there anything similar around the £20-25 mark with similar performance with a backplate?

Thanksss

You usually get the back plate separate. If you are going with a heat sink from Xigmatek I would suggest that you get a backplate from them as well.

So you can consider the Xigmatek Crossbow
Are just a few places I've found but I'm not sure what's available in your area.
