nothing I am not building yet I plan to get one and I wanted to know if I would need to open the back and install a backplate then screw it from the front for socket 1150 

 

oh, yeah you will have to fit the backplate, otherwise it will not secure the pump head

yes it does need to be mounted. Just try to look in the manual for the brackets for the specific socket you have.

Wanna hang out with me and people like @Theslsamg, @ Ssoele, @BENTHEREN, @Lanoi, @Whiskers, @_ASSASSIN_, @Looney, @WunderWuffle, and @nsyedhasan. Well.... Check out: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/48484-unofficial-linustechtips-teamschnitzel-server-teamspeak/

Does the holes not align or what problems are you having ?

PS: that AMD video was for reference others I noticed did not install the backplate
