Freezer 7 Pro Backplate

[Legless]

Looking at getting a new CPU cooler for my Q9450 and was wondering if the following cooler requires a backing plate, i don't really want to have to pull the pc apart just to install it, can i just pop the old cooler off and install this one without having to remove the motherboard...

No, it doesn't need one. I just mounted it straight to the board.
