Black plastic CPU cooler backplate bracket with mounting holes

Ruth's sister

Ruth's sister CPU cooler bracket black 940 64380

SKU CH-V465-QW1XM

Black ABS back-plate bracket secures CPU coolers on AMD AM2 through FM2+ and 940 sockets

  • Broad AMD socket support covers AM2 through FM2+ and 940
  • Black ABS bracket blends cleanly with dark-themed builds
  • Single-piece back-plate simplifies cooler installation
  • Lightweight plastic construction avoids adding stress to the motherboard
  • New condition guarantees an unused, factory-fresh component

AMD Socket Back Plate

This black ABS bracket serves as a replacement back plate for AMD motherboards using sockets AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, FM2+ and 940. It secures the CPU cooler mounting hardware from behind the board during installation. The single piece weighs very little and fits standard mounting hole patterns for the listed sockets. Builders who have lost or damaged the original plate can use this to complete a cooler swap.

Who This Suits

System builders assembling or repairing PCs on the supported AMD platforms will find the part matches the original mounting layout. It is not suited for Intel sockets, newer AMD sockets such as AM4 or AM5, or any proprietary OEM board with non-standard hole spacing. Buyers needing a full mounting kit with screws, springs or a front bracket should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The supported socket list — AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, FM2+ and 940 — is the single detail that determines compatibility. If the motherboard uses one of these sockets the bracket will align with the mounting holes; otherwise it will not fit.

Highlights
