well i had my doubts about that backplate when i installed it months ago. anyway I my motherboard failed and I had to RMA it. which means taking off the backplate. hah! with a pair of pliers the metal actually bent before the glue would let go. totally ruined the PCB also, no chance of rma now.
so i advise not using it unless your certain your mb will never fail cos you wont get the bugger off.

Oh dear hope same doesnt happen to me when i get a conroe mobo and cpu

stick the backplate on

a) a hot iron
b) a hot hob


c) anything hot


this will melt the glue

A hairdryer should soften it too.

2 good valid tips prefer the hairdryer approach as im a wuss lol

i put mine on today, and didn't peel the paper off the sticky side, so mine wont be hard to get off!!

That's what I did. The adhesive seemed like totally pointless overkill to me

did anyone not use the stock bracket like i have done manytimes before with various other coolers on amd 939 boards, saves so much time its unbelivable

I don't even bother with the Backplate.


My DFi Ultra-D Already has one,

and so did my Abit AN8 SLi Fatal1ty.

Doh, I used the sticky, Asrock Dual SATA II so no original backplate to use.

why not use a smaller cooler with less weight on its end, cause it acts like a lever putting more strain on whatevers holding it...why i was always so fond of CNPS9000

Same, but on my Asus P5W DH, fun times ahead!

So it got a sticky side underneath?! I didn't know to this day, so it obviously cant be necessary then
