I have an ASRock 990FX Extreme3 Motherboard. I need to replace the cooler bracket that broke. Is the back plate needed?

Yes. This one is just all one piece while the other is two. As long as your cpu is AM3+ of course

Apparently, for all the ASRock motherboards from N68 family, the comment on Noctua.at is "The preinstalled backplate of the mainboard is not compatible with the AMD mounting kit. Please contact us at support@noctua.at on how to get a compatible backplate" ( http://noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_gen&products;_id=63&lng;=en). I would suggest contacting Noctua prior the purchase just to make sure. I have tried to find your motherboard in the list but I found just similar ones, assuming yours is this one: http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-S%20UCC/Hope that helps Apparently, for all the ASRock motherboards from N68 family, the comment on Noctua.at is "The preinstalled backplate of the mainboard is not compatible with the AMD mounting kit.

I did not have to remove the motherboard, But I have seen on some motherboards you do because the bottom plate falls off when you unscrew the old heat sink. But in my case no.

No, it is only the processor. But a good cooler is easy to find. But it is until now an exellent processor for Am3 boards.

Yes, it comes with a universal mounting bracket that works on am3+. I installed one of these on an AMD am3+ fx 8 core, man does it work great! Keeps the processor 20 degrees cooler than OEM.

I was worried I'd be unable to but after buying a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO (that thing is the size of your head) and installing it, things worked like a charm! Just removed the backplate which was already there and screwed everything in. Dunno about cTDP though. :( Best of luck in your PC ventures!

Read at the bottom here maybe this will help. http://www.coolermaster.com/case/lan-box-haf-series/haf-xb-evo/

The motherboard should have a faceplate it comes with to stick in the case but yeah, I use both 2.0 and 3.0 in my case

In most cases a cpu replacement requires (minimally) to release the cooler/socket mount spring and lift the cooler away.With my system the release lever for the CPU socket is blocked by the cooler mount, so I have to remove that as well. This may not always be the case.I would plan on at least as much work to properly replace the cpu as it took to install the cooler initially. You should also clean the fan heatsink and put new cooling paste on the cpu/heatsink.Considering the importance of this procedure and the components involved never be in a hurry! No short cuts!

I believe you have to remove the bracket to uncover the locking bar for an Intel Proc. However it's really not hard to do at all. We really liked this fan, great cooling, no noise that many had claimed, but check the weight that the board can handle as this thing is heavy.

Through mounting brackets for each of the supported cpu types. I believe most require replacement of the mounting brackets (with supplied ones) of the motherboard, so be ready to pull the whole board off. However some models like the T2 will mount on original bracket and lay horizontally across. The hyper 212 however needs the replacement and sits vertically. Hope this helps. -Kristopher

Hi Sam. As far as hardware goes, the board comes with 3X Serial ATA cables, an I/O shield for the rear panel I/O manifold, an SLI bridge connector and a 2 in 1 Q connector. So an I/O 'bracket' does not come with the motherboard. The motherboard has a front panel I/O connection manifold (ATX configuration) and there is a intermediate connector provided that makes attaching your case front panel switches and LEDs easy to do with the motherboard installed.

Unfortunately you have to get a MicroATX board so your MSI 990fxa will not fit. If you want still want this kind of case and if you want to keep the mobo, go with the Corsair Obsidian 750D. It has the great aesthetics as the 350D but more room and fits ATX motherboards.

I cant recall. Your mainboard usually comes with one though. It definately doesnt have one built into the case itself like the old days if thats what you are asking

Yes it will. Check for the online manual to see where the screws will fit your mobo.

msi motherboard, amd processor, fm2 socket and absolutely not a chance in hell it was fitting. Agian, not artic's fault. look at how the old cooler is attached. is it clipped or does it have pins. ? that should start you in the right directiion

3765 has dual bios. I don't think backplate comes with all 3765 model though.
