Hello friends,

I'm in the process of upgrading my computer a bit.
I have a HAF-912 case, a msi Z97 gaming 3 MB, and a noctua NH-U12P SE2 CPU cooler.
It's a LGA1150 system.

The thing is after mounting the brackets for the CPU cooler on to the MB, and mounting the MB to the case I saw that the the brackets on the back of the MB (CPU cooler brackets) was touching the backside of the case. Here as some pictures illustrating what I'm (horribly) trying to explain: LINK

So the brackets is touching but is not pushing out the backboard(that I can see).

Probably a stupid question but should I just keep it as is or should I go to work with a grinder?

Thanks.

Link should be working now.

It seems to be resting on the "pegs" that comes with the motherboard, like it should. The brackets seems to barely touch the backboard.
