Hello all. In one of the more boneheaded moves I've done while building my last system, I confused the Socket 939 backplate for the Zalman Reserator as part of the packaging - and threw it away.


Well, I will be going Socket 939 within the next two weeks and its imperitive that I find one of these. Zalman doesnt appear to sell Reserator "parts" on their site and I havent heard back from the support email I sent them. Additionally, because this is a fairly critical component, I am not comfortable with using something generic to support my CPU waterblock - as failure could be catastrophic.

Any ideas where I can get one of these from?

I thought that'd work, but the screwhole sizes are different. After I had my whole case together and cables routed, I had to pull everything out, just to put in the Zalman backplate so the screw size was correct

This is what I have - the backplate uses different thread sizes than the Zalman (I have the 7000Cu)
