Posted January 15, 2020 If you have the plastic brackets on the motherboard already/still, then yea for sure. But if not, you might have to reattach them, meaning you might have to hold in the backplate (or maybe that was replaced with your current cooler's backplate). In that case it depends on if your case has a cutout so you can reach it easily. So in short, possibly. But it depends on your current cooler and maybe also on your current case "We're all in this together, might as well be friends" Tom, Toonami. mini eLiXiVy: my open source 65% mechanical PCB, a build log, PCB anatomy and discussing open source licenses: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1366493-elixivy-a-65-mechanical-keyboard-build-log-pcb-anatomy-and-how-i-open-sourced-this-project/ mini_cardboard: a 4% keyboard build log and how keyboards work: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1328547-mini_cardboard-a-4-keyboard-build-log-and-how-keyboards-work/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, it's just unclip, clean up thermal paste, (and assuming there is pre-applied paste on the new cooler) and then just install the new cooler. But otherwise, the NZXT case has a large cutout on the back, making the backplate easily accessible. Or do you mean one of the other Wraith coolers? Spoiler Since the Prism is basically the most elaborate cooler. If you are using one of the other Wraith coolers, you will have to reattached the plastic brackets and the base backplate (if you had to replace the backplate), which is still do-able with everything in the case "We're all in this together, might as well be friends" Tom, Toonami. mini eLiXiVy: my open source 65% mechanical PCB, a build log, PCB anatomy and discussing open source licenses: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1366493-elixivy-a-65-mechanical-keyboard-build-log-pcb-anatomy-and-how-i-open-sourced-this-project/ mini_cardboard: a 4% keyboard build log and how keyboards work: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1328547-mini_cardboard-a-4-keyboard-build-log-and-how-keyboards-work/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
