Hello everyone, I've been working on setting up a server and purchased two Hyper H412R coolers for my Supermicro X8DTi-F. The original backplate isn't long enough for the coolers, so I need to remove the CPU retaining plate to swap them out. The new backplate has the right length but lacks the necessary screws to reattach it. I found a post suggesting this solution, but once the plate is removed it seems stuck. I'm open to getting the Noctua coolers they recommended, though I'd prefer not to pay twice as much. Do anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Please share your pictures if you need more details. Thanks ahead!
