Does anyone know where I can order one like this:

My Asus P5K Deluxe died on me and I couldn't pry the old X bracket off before I RMA'd it. I emailed Tuniq asking if they could send me one, but they replied:

Dear Sir
Thanks for your mail.
The backplate is a standard one so you can buy it easily from shops.
Hope this info helps.


No, not really. I found a Thermaltake x bracket that looks similar:

But I'm not sure if it will fit.

Does anyone have a spare they'd like to part with?

I know it's too late now...

But in the future if you need to, the easiest way to get that bracket off is apply heat to the middle of it with a strong hairdryer or heatgun. Once it's sufficiently warm it will come right off. I tried prying on one when it was cold and it did not budge and it felt like it needed force sufficient to damage the board to remove it! Heating it doest the trick and there's enough goo left that it will stick again to another board.

Ordered.

Hopefully I won't have to try the hairdryer trick on this next one, but good to know.

Thanks
