At the time of installing the Hydro Corsair CPU cooler series on my MSI 790FX H50-GD70 MB had to take away the OEM backplate located on the CPU assembly. OEM plate is plastic. The new backplane provided by AMD AM3 MB Corsair is metal. Under the original plate are numerous young soldiers connections are not visible until the plastic plate is removed. The new metal plate Corsair really comes in contact with solder connections. By placing the plate in the bottom of the board, which is not flat against the table, it is slightly raised a little. Scaring the destruction of my fresh MB. I stopped the installation, fearing it could short out the motherboard / cpu, possibly even causing a fire. Does anyone encounter this? With this cooler, or perhaps during the installation of coolers from other manufacturers? IDEAS? I contacted Corsair support, but have not received a response. Be compatible AMD CPU coolers are carried out with the standerd clip that locks in the upper bracket OEM.
