I was going to attempt to install a Corsair H105 cpu cooler, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove the heatsink. I'm new to this so I figured I would ask around before I destroy something lol! Here's the pictures:

In any event, thanks for any help!

Can you see the 4 screws?
Unscrew them opposite sides (is what I normally do) then once they are remove you have to twist the heatsink slightly clockwise, and lift and pull.
Don't force it, it should be quite free, but you get a bit of vacuum/suction which is why when you twist it , it should come off easier.

You don't need to remove the base plate on the backside of the motherboard.
