This seems way too complicated to be true so I think I'm missing the whole picture. Would this make sense in my case? Also, I can't seem to find this kit in stock anywhere. In this post, it's suggested to buy the upgrade kit from cooler master and just use the screws. I think I need different standoffs, similar to D in the image (although those are for intel sockets so they are larger than the holes of the motherboard backplate. As a result, I can't use the standoffs (C in image) to mount the cooler. CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3. I don't want to remove the mobo backplate and the user manual advises against it as well. The motherboard already comes with a backplate (A in image) but in order to add the plastic bracket that came with the cooler, the motherboard backplate must be removed, otherwise adding the plastic one under the mobo backplate won't work because the screws of the plastic bracket are too short. The cooler includes an AM4 bracket (B in image) and the necessary stand offs (C in image). I'm trying to install Cooler Master Hyper 212 (Black) on Asus TUF gaming X570. I'm building my first pc and what seemed like a straightforward step (installing the cpu cooler), now seems impossible.
