Backplate Installation
Install the mounting backplate part on the back of the motherboard if you are using an Intel LGA 17XX,
12XX or 115X socket motherboard. Slide the standos to line up with the cooler mounting holes on your
motherboard.
*Please skip this step for AMD motherboards as you will use the existing motherboard’s backplate.
H
Standos
Next, screw the stando into the backplate. Fasten the standos to the backplate you installed in the
previous step for LGA 12XX / 115X motherboards part and LGA 17XX motherboards part .
For AMD platforms, remove the stock AMD mounting bracket, keep the original backplate. After aligning the
collars, screw in the stando to the collars and stock AMD Backplate .
*The collars have marked “AM5” and “AM4” on each side, facing up the correct side of collars according
your AMD platform.
