    I bought a 6990m from another user on the forum but the backplate that he included isn't compatible with the R3 heatsink. The mounting holes for the screws sit flush with the card, so I cannot secure the heatsink to it. Does anyone know where I could get one, or the part number so I could possibly try to order one from Dell? Thanks.

    For 6990M.

    My 6870M came with a backplate that had a rectangle bit attached to it... so I just re-used that. I don't even know what a 6990M backplate looks like. I just want any God damn backplate that's in one piece
