I'm planning to install the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo on my Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard. Problem is, the motherboard comes with a back plate and heat sink mount already built in. And its screwed in so tight I'm not sure I can remove it.

Can the Cooler Master heat sink be installed on this AMD back plate/mount? Instead of using what the Cooler Master comes with?

Thanks, quick replies would be greatly appreciated.

You should use the CM backplate. The bracket seems to be in there fairly tight, but its actually not.
