Yep, it seems to be narrower than standard ATX size. I had to take out a few standoffs that were touching the back of it.

So odd isn't it? I can't recall ever seeing another motherboard like this. Will update the thread mentioning if it ended up fitting or not. I have a Corsair Spec 01 for reference.

Had no idea that was a thing. I really appreciate it! I'm just hoping I am able to move my standoffs, I have a Corsair Spec 01 case, very, very cheap.

I was looking to purchase a gigabyte z270-hd3p to replace my msi b250 pc mate motherboard. However upon looking at a few pictures of the board, it seems like the screw holes are in a different position from my motherboard even though both are ATX? I am just confused. I attached pictures of both boards so it makes more sense. Doesn't it seem like the Gigabyte board has the screw holes in a different spot? Specifically around the ram slots.

CPU Cooler backplate is stuck to motherboard

I tapped the screws out from the front with the front end of a screwdriver. Worked perfectly.- 14 replies

CPU Cooler backplate is stuck to motherboard

UPDATE: I FIXED IT!!! I managed to get the screw pin things out by grabbing a screwdriver and using force on the front of the screw/pin, forcing it out the back. Didn’t seem to do any damage at all! I did drop my backplate though and had to unscrew my motherboard to get it out , but no other issues. Now just waiting for my hyper 212 from amazon. Thanks guys.- 14 replies

CPU Cooler backplate is stuck to motherboard
Matthew10550 replied to Matthew10550's topic in Troubleshooting
This will most likely be what I will try to figure this issue out. I am going to take it to a local computer shop tomorrow first since I do not own a hand held cutting tool like a Dremel, but I really appreciate the help from everyone. Hopefully the computer shop can figure it out with a more elegant solution and I can update this thread for what their solution was. I wouldn't be surprised if they call me back however and tell me that they just cut the pieces off.- 14 replies

I do not intend to use it again so I am willing to destroy the mounting hardware, yes.- 14 replies

You’d think so, but for some reason the black plastic pieces will NOT unscrew from the screw threads.- 14 replies

Matthew10550 replied to Matthew10550's topic in Troubleshooting
The backplate is attached to the board because the black pieces are pinching to the threads on those silver screws you see in the back of my PC. It’s kind of tightened like a nut, except for some reason I can’t just grab onto the silver screw to not make it spin while I undo the black plastic piece. I attached what the screws look like, this is the one that just fell out.- 14 replies

CPU Cooler backplate is stuck to motherboard

That’s what I was thinking at this point, but how could I cut slits into the screws without creating a bunch of sparks? Unless the sparks would be fine?- 14 replies

So I have gotten myself into a little bit of an issue. I had previously installed a 120mm Lepa AIO water cooler into my computer for my CPU. Well the pump just died yesterday in the cooler and I wanted to proceed with taking it off to replace it with a new cooler. I took the AIO off, it went fine up until then. I went to try and unscrew the plastic bits on the front of my motherboard and they won’t come off. I have tried to push the pins through the back of my board to the front and, nothing. I have tried to hold the pins in the back to be able to twist off the plastic knobs in the front, to no success. I guess the plastic pieces might be cross threaded? No idea. But what would my solution to this be? Should I just dremel the plastic pieces off? I really do not know what to do at this point. About the missing pin in the backplate, when I was taking the cooler off it just fell off. Guess I got lucky.
