CPU backplate issues

[1nteger]

Hi all
I'm just planning an upgrade based around an Asus A8N SLi premium s939 motherboard (that i haven't bought yet). However, my new cooler (which i just got) is an Akasa Evo 120 Heatpipe...

The issue?

Well the instructions for installing the cooler on an AMD board are to use the existing CPU backplate, which should be of the sturdy metal type. However, may boards have a basic plastic backplate into which the screws with the Evo 120 will not fit.

Does anyone know if the asus board has a metal backplate orknow where I might get one?

Thanks
