My Simple Build

Hey everyone,

First off - checkout what got delivered today:

Tomorrow I'll be putting the build together, I started looking at the motherboard and heatsink, one thing that concerns me is the Noctua installation guide says LGA1156 board have a stock back plate which will need to be removed to fit the Noctua one. Currently the M/B just has this on the back which holds the CPU in place:

Is it referring to taking this off or something else?

Cheers,
Matt

Lol, I've wanted a Lian Li case for ages and since my old was so terrible (photos coming tomorrow I figured I pay the money and see if it lasts

Biffa - Looks like I completely mis-read the guide. I also thought about it, and it talks about lining up holes from both backplates, so yeah I'm just having a simple moment.
