Hi!
Why do I need to remove the original backplate to install a new cooler?
ok, my mobo already has a motherboard/cpu backplate that is holding the CPU cooler on the left. Pushpins dont work because the backplate is there. and people have said that I need to install a new backplate for every cooler out there. but some coolers like this one
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3127377&sku=S457-1116
both the cpu cooler that i have installed and the one from tigerdirect have the same screws that hold them to the cpu.
inspiron 530 case.
if you can help me find one in ~$25 range, that is quite and not too large. the case is a mini tower, that firs a 92mm fan on the back. ATX powersupply.
