My friend bought a mobo without a bracket backplate for the cpu cooler. How common is it to come without that?

where do you buy one? are all the intel and amd ones the same? do you need a specific one?

It is very common considering that motherboards do not come with back plates. The reason for this is because the cooler comes with the back plate. Or in Intel's case, it just pops in.

It would be more helpful if we knew what motherboard your friend bought, and what CPU he is trying to use.
