Turns out the HP Socket 775 cooler needs a backplate to take larger than normal screws/bolts.
The bolts seem to be about 3mm or 5/32, I'm not sure which. A 3mm nut or a 5/32 nut both seem to screw on and both seem a very loose fit.
Every backplate I've bought recently - and everyone I find advertised - has a smaller hole - make for that typical small computer screw we fasten hard drives in with and such.
Anyone know where I might be able to get the right thing? I've got this DC7100S board I'm trying to get up.
