How do you install a Coolermaster Gemin II S524
I bought a Coolermaster Gemin II S524 with a Sabertooth 990FX R2.0, but the heatsink brackets are pre-installed. Do I remove them?

Are there nuts on the back of the MB or do they screw into the backing plate ?
Either way they have to come out. Instructions should have been in the box with the cooler.
