Hey guys
I'm looking for a good cpu cooler that has its own backplate. Reason being that one of clips on the retention bracket broke off. I live in south Africa and for some reason I can't find the actual bracket here so I'm willing to just get a cooler that does away with the bracket. It's an am3+ socket.

Thanks in advance

If your case will fit a 120mm cooler (actual height is typically 140mm-145mm), you might use one of http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2478892/alternatives-hyper-212-evo-budget-cooling.html as almost all of them come with a backplate.
If not, there are similar 92mm coolers available.
If there are any local computer shops near you, you may be able to find a replacement bracket. They should be readily available, such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5EM2Z02435&cm_re=AM3_bracket-_-0X6-00GK-01D29-_-Product (as an example; I know Newegg links won't help you).

The case is the Viper gx. http://www.raidmax.com/viper-gx.html

I believe the width of the case is 240mm so it should fit most coolers.

@Onus, Believe me. I checked 3 places and of the three, 2 had never heard of it and I had to go into detailed explanation before they told me they don't have it

Edit: the 212x is pretty cheap at the moment. It looks like it comes with a backplate. Can anyone confirm if it does use a backplate
