| SLK900 without plastic shield ? My SLK900U arrived, but it seems that the plastic shield isn't included in the package... Is this really important, it doens't seem to be imperative to install it ? If it is that important, is there a place (region Antwerp preferably) where I can get one? Otherwise I should have it shipped from Germany, and I'm really not interested in waiting more then a week for something like that! |

| oh yes, it really is: you have to use the backplate to screw the heatsink in place. and you won't find a backplate without the heatsink |

| I think you misunderstood what I'm missing... Here: http://upload.hso.be/artikelen/slk900/HPIM1103.JPG they say the plastic should be between the backplate and the motherboard. But here: http://www.legionhardware.com/pic.ph...U/Image_01.jpg It looks like it's of no importance. But I just want to make sure, don't want to ruin a my motherboard and other components |

| It's something to isolate the backplate from your motherboard, if you have some very thin plastic laying around, I think you can use that |

| But the plastic thingie in the middle of the backplate should prevent this, so in fact it wouldn't be necessary ? |

| I've got an SLK900 too, and you should use the plastic when you have an AMD mobo. I have an Intel P4 and I didn't use the plastic, and my computer hasn't blown up since I installed it so... In fact, the holes in the plastic don't match the holes in a P4 mobo, so maybe you have a "P4" edition? Doesn't exist in my humble opinion but it could be new |

| It will be used with an NF7-S, so that's AMD The way I see it, the backplate doens't touches the mobo, just the rubber thing in the middle. The screws can be 'protected' with plastic washers, so I'll give it a try later this afternoon I'll pray for a good ending |

| You could just put a piece of paper between mobo and heatsink... Isolates too and nobody will see |
