I just got an apogee block and in the directions it shows what they call a back plate that your supposed to install behind the motherboard. What the heck is this it didnt come with my block?
Also a more general question as this is my first water set up. Do I install all of the tubing and blocks first and then just start filling up the coolant? or is there a way that you have to do it to get rid of air bubbles and any dust and particles in the system?

I assemble the blocks on the MB, screw the MB in place, attach the tubing (taking GREAT care to seal my barbs, with worm clamps), fill the loop and the power the pump(s) and let it run for a few hours to check for leaks. If you're as careful as you should be there won't be any leaks. Power the system and enjoy your creation. If you want to be extra anal and work very hard you can assemble the loop external to the rest of your hardware and check it that way, but this is too labor intensive for me, and since you have to take it apart to get it in place, doesn't really guarantee you won't have leaks anyway.
