H100i in the NZXT Phantom 410?

Kooldown

Sup guys.

I am about to make a purchase for the Corsair H100i and put it in my NZXT Phantom 410. I would like to know if I would have to uninstall the motherboard in order to install the bracket/back plate that comes with the H100i.

Also: I have the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo installed currently, and would I be able to install the H100i with the bracket/back plate that I already have installed with the 212?

I really do not want to have to take out the whole motherboard just to install one component...

Thanks in advance.

The back plate is specially made for the cooler so please use the one provided. You don't need to uninstall the mother board if there is a hole on the back of the motherboard plate which it should have.

Just checked on mine and there is indeed a hole in the backplate, so removing the motherboard is not necessary.

If you like, you might wqnt to take into consideration the new Cooler Master Glacier 240L which can be further expanded. Seems to be a good option and it is designed by Swiftech
