Could someone tell me how to remove the motherboard from the pc, to be able to change the cpu cooler (to change backplate)?

    Yeah, it's better to use one of the coolers that doesn't require a full motherboard removal, but if you have chosen one that doesn't mount normally (like some of the universal mount coolers) then there are eight screws holding it in place.

    I had to pull the motherboard out when I installed a custom Noctua cooler. You basically have to gut the entire machine to get the mb out as the right side has no access panel.
