Hey guys...here's the deal. My FM2+ motherboard in my mITX build has a chip on the back.So any backplate will bend the motherboard.So yes the Hyper Evo 212 wont work(tried).This is for a 860K and a Bitfenix Prodigy case. Any suggestions? I know there are some out there but my research results have been minimal. I do plan to overclock.

That is the family of coolers I was meaning . They work well and are quiet .
The originals just used intel push pins and were criticized for that . A little research should tell you which models have no back plate .
It should install just like this on an AMD ...

The aluminium/copper models are cheaper and cool nearly as well
