Help me tech support you're my only hope
tldr water pump died so I'm putting a CM hypercool 212 back on my CPU until I can be bothered getting some more shit but she's fucked
I'm trying to install these risers but they're not fitting through the stock holes, there's a backplate thing sorta on there already and that's what it's not going through they're a tad too small, I'm almost certain this backplate part is not supposed to be removed and your cooler backplate just goes over it, as you can see in this image the holes look clear and probably would take the risers just fine if the backplate bit wasn't on there
My waterblock didn't have a backplate and just screwed into the holes there

You're a fucking idiot OP, but I'll help you.
First I need you to install gentoo. This will help optimize your cooling orientor.

Thanks bro I actually just realized it was my watercooler backplate
Usin watercooling on cheap shit like this... I never understood people who spend more on their cooling than on their CPU + mobo.

It wasn't cheap shit when I built my computer.
