H100 Installation

if you look very close at the H 100 back plate, you will notice 2 of the sides are cut out to go around the 2 screws from the intel socket plate. Line those up and it will fit perfect. When you screw the 4 screws in from the motherboard side, they will not fit tight. That is normal. The mounting screws from the pump will make it fit tight.

I'll use the OEM backplate. On this video he removed the OEM backplate, how do you remove the OEM backplate it is in the motherboard very secure.

he didn't uninstall the back plate. Plus, the video was installing it on a socket 1366 notan 1155 or 2011.

Jeremy,
Remove the OEM back plate. Of course it comes off but it may have some double face tape on it to help it stick. These back plates come off. If I were you I'd use the Corsair provided plate and mounting screws. This is were pictures and spec's and some clarity in describing what you were doing would have helped. I was always assuming you had the Corsair plate on the mobo and it was just the screws.

What have you decided to do?

I've gone ahead and used the OEM. It's too risky to take off the OEM backplate. Struggling, then it causes a ripple effect of another problem.

Great, I'm glad to hear you could make the parts all work together. You'll dig the cooling power of this unit.

I hope so. I realized one thing, the manual for the H100 is not socket specific, it just says Intel or AMD. If your board is gracious, and you have a proper back plate it will make life a little easier, if your board doesn't have a back plate then fortunately the H100 supplies this. I could have taken off the OEM backplate, but none the less as long as as it works, and works well :)
