Hell friend,

I need an advice. I have an Aerocool Strike-X one case. In the manual it says that it has pre-drilled hole for easy access to CPU mounting bracket.
My question is: do i need to remove my motherboard to install a Be quiet pure rock cooler ( i know it is the correct way , but I'm affraid that some thing may go wrong) , I mean can i place the bracket not on my motherboards back but thru my case(the drilled holes) and motherboards back ???
It would save me lots of time and reduces my chance at doing something wrong in the removing end installing process.
