May I fit AM3 cooler to Asus Rog C6H with no extra part?

Hello everyone, I have an Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 bought for intel setup. I have turned for Ryzen and going to buy Asus rog crosshair VI hero and ryzen 1700x. I have seen that arctic is sending the necessary part to mount but they said

"We offer free AM4 retention kit if your Liquid Freezer doesn't included it."

"Your AM4 retention kit will be dispatched from Germany by regular mail, please allow 6 - 12 days for delivery."

"The backplate is a part of the socket and has pre-installed on motherboard, we do not provide extra backplate."

How can I get for mounting? Thanks.

The CH6 comes with both AM3 and AM4 cooler mounting holes drilled into the board, its the only AM4 motherboard that comes with both sets of mounting holes, therefore you dont need any extra parts.

What about backplate? Won't I need it?

I would imagine the AM3 backplate that came with your cooler will do the job as the holes are there in the board for it.
