although i cant stand EK and their products.. they have one thing that is gold..
the EK-LGA115x TRUE Backplate only gripe is that the backplate is not threaded no two-sided
tape installs vise-grip type performance for $7.00.
Totally agree with you on the 1155 backplate, the thing was such a pain to get installed. Also, when I took the backplate off recently, the little adhesive circles stuck to the board, not the backplate
