The water cooler I have (Corsair H110i v2) says in the instructions to install a backplate to the back of the motherboard. But, my motherboard has no backplate holes. It is an Asus X99 Deluxe 2. Cna anybody tell me how I would install this water cooler to my build?

Does 2011-v3 motherboard even need a bracket for the socket ? I dont think so, maybe you can just install the H110i directly without needing an additional bracket. The 2011 socket should have no additional backplates because they comes with pre-installed backplates, so you should go install the cooler directly.
