So I have just got a Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI mobo and Im trying to mount a Noctua NH-U9B on top. However the CPU socket screws extend through the mobo and are skewing the coolers back plate. Meaning the whole assemblage is slanted and failing to make complete contact with the CPU. Can the screws themselves even been removed or at least loosened to allow the cooler back plate to go flush the the mobo. And if so what is the name of the screwhead so I can by the correct tool !
