Evga 79X SLI

Hello!
Im trying to mount a Cooler Master 212 Plus to this evga motherboard and it apears that the standoff's are to high to allow it to secure the cooler to cpu.My Question is are there shorter standoff's available? In the instruction video at Cooler Master ya need to mount backup plate to motherboard through motherboard It also apears that this mother board does not use the backup plate and cooler standoff's mount directly to board ...Onyone?

Welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums,
Socket 2011 mounts are different than standards, if you do not have the M4 mounting system for the socket 2011 mounts in the kit, I believe you can get them from CoolerMaster. I am not sure about the backplate on socket 2011 but I would think one would be needed. I'll inquire about

Knew I'd find something. According to this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_QVWBm4CI4 there is no backplate used on the socket 2011 motherboard.
Hope it answers any questions/concerns
