I currently have a Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler with that backplate installed. I was wondering if I had to switch back to the default backplate? My motherboard is a Gigabyte 990fxa-UD3 motherboard. My case is an AZZA Solano 1000, I am hoping that the H100i will fit. So far it seems like I may need to take off my top 230mm fan. But yes if someone can tell me. Thanks!
