I am buying an 'XSPC Delta V3' cpu block 2nd hand for cheap. But it doesnt come with a mobo backplate (they never came with one originally even when new). When you read all the reviews about the Delta V3 they mention that you should ideally use a backplate to stop the mobo flexing.

I just wanted to ask, is there a specifict backplate that I need to get? Or are all Skt775 backplates basically the same and interchangable?

Here is a picture of the Delta V3 block:

Here are the screws used to mount the block (in the top-left of the pic):

And this is the backplate I am thinking of buying, the 'EK Intel and AMD Universal CPU Backplate':

Do you think this EK backplate will work with the Delta V3 cpu block? If not, what backplate should I be looking for?

Thanks
 
You might get better help here in the Water Cooling subforum.
 
It's all about the threads matching.

I've had good luck with trying different back plates with different air and water coolers.

I think a back plate that puts some pressure directly behind the cpu is the best.
