I currently have a Ryzen 5600X with a stock AMD cooler on an AM4 motherboard. The new cooler I would like to install is a Dark Rock Slim. The tutorial video shows that it is necessary to unscrew the the screws holding in the cpu backplate in order to install the cooler. However, as the motherboard is already in the case, I am concerned that this will caught the backplate to slip out of its holes.
The be quiet cooler has two separate mounting brackets that are to be screwed into the backplate. I am thinking that I could unscrew two screws, install one bracket, and then do the same with the other set of screws. Would this work? Or will it be necessary to remove the back panel to keep the backplate in space? (I barely managed to close it due to all the wires from the PSU, so I would prefer not to)
Thank you.
