Hello forumfriends, greetings from Sweden!
Backplate problem, finally got my Aqua Computer Kryos Next Vision 1151 yesterday.
B U T the backplate broke when I tried to mount the cooler... :/
(Talk about anti-climactic, waited weeks for it to get in store then traveltime to Sweden and it's a dud.)
One corner would not fit, the pin-screw leaned very heavily.
Attempted to make all for pins grip just the very first thread and then tighten - and trying this the stud on the backplate snaps off.
First Pic = The stud snapped offSecond Pic = You can clearly see that one half of the hole is round, the other is jagged, and that the stud was obviosly seated off center.
Okey I wrote Aqua Computer how to procede, but meanwhile waiting for reply I would like to ask you friends if there is any other solution/backplate that would fit or if you have any solution to this if I want my PC up and running?
E V E R Y T H I N G is here for my brand new PC build and I thought I would get to start her yesterday,
This made me so sad that me old eyes watering. (Silly me, I know, but there it is)
My small village only have two electronic shoppingstores, both are so small that they virtually have nothing in stock at all.
I have to drive an hour to get to the closest town that m i g h t have a couple of aircoolers, could another backplate fit this?
Is there any other solution to get my rig/Aqua Computer Vision 1151 safely attached so I can start my PC?
Despite not wanting to tell this I think I have to, to explain why I need a budget solution if anyone is clever enough to have one.
Any short time solution would be extremely appreciated until the RMA gone through. (Great quick support reply from AquaComputer/Nicole. Just waiting for the return adress for the backplate)
Is there a budget solution for then it would be great as my budget ran dry on the computerbuild. (Few bucks due to disability/broken back) pc build obviously based on loans and I cant get any more cred.
Thank you friends for having me at your great forum, I look forward sharing my PC build as soon as I possibly can.
Have a wonderful day,
Look forward to your feedback mates,

Edit, drove +18 miles today looking for a backplate or somebody that could make a backplate with same tolerances. Just back and its Not happening...
