Good night people.

Recently I lost two pieces of my mother board (ASROCK ab350m) that are important to put the cooler of the processor, the backplate and the brackets, as follows the photo below:

With that, I was looking for a water cooler, or some air cooler that could be installed without these parts.

Resume: I need a cooler or water cooler model where I do not need the back plate or motherboard brackets.

I live in Brazil, and I found this model, but as I already bought 2 wrong coolers, I decided to create this post for you to help me.

DEEPCOOL MAELSTROM 120t

According to the instruction manual, the same does not use the backplate to install, but I was in doubt and I want to be SURE it will work.
