Hey guys, as the title says, i have a question about backplates. Im thinking about buying a corsair Hydro H80i GT liquid cooler in order to replace my older Xigmater Aegir air cooler. That would free up space in the RAM area,cool my system more and make things look sexier. I made my research and it seems that in order to install the H80i, i need to have the stock AMD backplate (i have one,but its not the one im using now).

My case has an opening in order to remove backplates from behind,but its not big enough and im too bored to fully deassemble my motherboard. So i was thinking if its possible i could use the backplate im already using instead of replacing it with the AMD stock backplate. They have screws in the same places, they only have different shapes, so i dont really think any issue would rise. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance.
