I need a backplate for a Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5. I don't expect anyone here to know a source, but I wonder whether anyone can explain why finding one is so hard: when I find this item offered on eBay or elsewhere, its configuration never matches my board. In one case a seller showed pictures of both the board and the backplate they were selling, and the board matche4d mine, but the backplate didn't!

The picture shows my mobo's back connectors. It has one connector (SPDIF) in the second column. All of the plates I find have two holes: the one for SPDIF and a square one above it that could be for an RJ45 connector. In the third column, my board's top and middle connectors (USB3) are closer together than the middle and the bottom one (HDMI); on the backplates they're equidistant.

Are there several variants of the G1.Sniper 5 that no one talks about? Could my board really be something else, despite what Windows System Information says?

Looks that way. It has to be a supply-and-demand thing. Dual LAN desktop boards are rare.
