Not sure what to call it but I have a hard time tracking down an affordable Micro-ATX board. I found an HP made by MSI board off ebay. It used normal ATX connectors. First problem is the board shipped with a custom backplate to support HP's heatsink. Hair dryer and that poped off but they used that back plate to support the metal socket mechanism. I am using Scythe heatink with a 2 bolt method. I laid the cpu in the socket and carefully cranked down the heatink. It feels snug etc... reminds me of the old days but I am getting no post. I am looking for throughts can the LGA 115X chips run with out the metal socket locking part or is it needed? Or if anyone has a stock back plate from a dead board you can send me(I will pay shipping) that would be really cool.
