How to install this New cpu Cooler

Go to solution Solved by nick name,

Wait, so you had the motherboard out already?  Because what you need to do is have the motherboard out of the case so you can see what's on the back of it.

Hey everyone i have some questions. 

I have done something stupid and that is going out buying a cpu cooler and thinking it could stickright into my motherboard.

My problem now is i Have a Acer predator g3-605 With an intel i7 4790 and a rtx 2060 asus. 
In these Photos you can see that my old cpu cooler is screwed in and ive done some research and it looks like there is a backplate on the mobo but thats a problem to get to that backplate

i will have to remove this case entirley from its components and im not that skilled enough. As you can see there are 4 screw things so i can screw something in there but thats the problemThats the connector where i would screw in my old

I wanna know if there is a some sort of bracket for this Cpu cooler cause its a push thingy to install.

Otherwise i will have to give back this cooler. 
Thanks in advance everyone 

 

Info: Be quiet Pure rock slim Cpu cooler that has push pins on the bottom (new cooler)

You sure there's no way to access that backplate from the other side of the case? usually they have a cutout, but not all cases have that though

Quote or Tag people so they know that you've replied.

Ah, good ol' Intel push-pins, the bane of my existence.

 

The first part is to remove the stand-offs used in the original cooler. Then follow this video to install the new one:

 

The first thing you should do after installing it is to turn the PC on and go into BIOS/UEFI settings to check the CPU temperature. If it looks normal (around 30-40C or below idling), then it's fine. If it's higher than normal ( > 40C), then the cooler wasn't installed properly. Even if it looks fine, the push pins are not actually holding the cooler down hard enough against the CPU.

yeah defo i would have to remove the whole topside back and front of the case and its all screwed together shut. 

Hey but as you can see in these photos my mobo holes arent like his. Linus are normal holes and mine are some kind of 2cm long rods where u can screw something in i dont wanna try forcing these push pins in there (sorry english isnt my first language)

Why don't you show us the entire motherboard in the case and we can help you get it out.

Sadly when i push on on of those heads the other 3 move slightly too. I think they are all connected and i cant screw them off individually.
