[SOLVED] Trouble removing cpu bracket

[FatalTom]

Hello peoples, so I’m trying to install a new Corsair H100i RGB platinum se, I had a Riing silent 12 rgb sync edition and was looking to replace it, upon removing the old cpu I have gotten down to the bracket... this is a tough thing where it has screws secured by something like a secured ( the bolts are the 4 on the outer perimeter . Here’s a photo https://ibb.co/xfcLbM8 ). I just need some help as how to remove ad whenever I try it moves both the screw on the back and that. It is a issue as I can’t install the new one lol. Please help if you have a solution/ idea. I’ve already tried holding it with pliers and unscrewing it, but it didn’t work..

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You're advised to remove the mounting hardware for the Thermaltake AIO when you're going to install the hardware for the Corsair unit. A pair of pliers will do if they're on too tight but I think you can get them off with your fingers, going anti-clockwise.

If you want a video on yt or discord or something let me know

it's always easier if you remove the motherboard from the case

make sure you're turning counter-clockwise

you can try rotating with a pair of needle-nose pliers grabbing the rim (or -if all else fails - notching the rim with a jigsaw or dremel and then using a standard screwdriver)

Remove the motherboard you need to use the new backplate anyhow. You might have to remove the board if your cutout is big enough.

Their screws that hold those from the backplate behind the board.

If pliers do not hold securely enough, try vice grips.
Just make certain that you are UNSCREWING in the right direction.
