Intel Socket 1155/1156 ILM Backplate
thingiverse
Replacement backplate for Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge motherboards. The CPU retention mechanism (AKA Independent Loading Mechanism) securely fastens into this part. The ILM is the arm & plate assembly that forces the processor evenly into the socket, ensuring reliable connectivity at all times. Note that backplates for CPU heat sinks are designed to fit over the ILM backplate, providing either holes for longer ILM screws or completely avoiding the fastener areas. Why would you need this replacement part? Mainly, to use an aftermarket heat sink on an OEM system with a non-reference backplate - in this example, one from a Dell workstation that integrates mounting arms for the stock cooler. Without this print, sourcing UNC #6-32 screws may not be possible, or sawing off the mounting arms (which destroys the ability to use the stock cooler again and hurts resale value).
