The part I really hate with the Stock Cooler, is that once you removed it, the backplate gets loose, and you will have to demount the whole MB to be able to screw the new cooler on that. Genious design.

When ever I install a Motherboard or cooler...I use an extra long Phillips or Cross Hatch screwdriver for the installation. Helps if the tip is also magnetized to hold the screw(s). The extra long shaft makes it easier to install the Motherboard or Cooler without having to angle the screwdriver tip which could possibly damage the screw head(s). Hope that helps.

In the case specs, it will list the maxium CPU cooler height. My advice is to NOT get a CPU cooler that is at the same max height; give yourself some wiggle room and get one at least a few MMs less than the listed max CPU cooler height. Sometime the height of the heat pipes sticking out the top are not accounted for. Good luck.
