      Hi!
      I've got a Supermicro X9SCI-LN4F motherboard. Unfortunately the back plate used for the stock cooler (Supermicro cooler for 1U chassis) is tapered. This means I cannot use a regular socket 1155 CPU cooler. I need one that is compatible with this the BKT-0028L back plate, so I can put this motherboard in a tower case instead.

      I figure I'm not the first one experiencing this problem. Any suggestions?

          Heat it and remove it.

            tirsojrp,
            seems to me that there is a risk of damaging the motherboard doing this.
            Have you done it yourself?
