Installing Hyper 212+

[abdul89]

Hi

Okay so this might be a dumb question, but I've finally decided to build my latest pc myself and I dont know much!

Im getting a hyper 212+ cpu cooler. How do I go about installing the cooler backplate on the backside of the mobo?

Do i simply turn my mobo upside down and put in on a table and screw the backplate in? would the pressure applied for turning the screws not damage anything on the front side of the mobo??

Just do it while your motherboard is in your case and all screwed in, stand your case up and take the side off.

That would depend on the case. IF the hole in your motherboard tray lines up well enough you can just apply the backplate to the backside of the board.

Here's a video

^+ a million. Watch the video! I've installed 2 212+'s and the video is the only way to figure it out. I'm an engineer and can't follow the printed instructions.
