I have the CM half x, can someone explain to me what this cut out is for? it looks too small, if I replace my CPU, I have to take the whole board out? if the whole was bigger I would not have to take the whole board out? why did they make it so small?

Some coolers need an extra bracket in the back so as ot not sheer the board when putting on heavy heat syncs

Good question, never asked myself that.

You gotta take the cpu from the other side so..

motherboards come in different sizes and with different cpu locations

I don't get it why is the bracket there?

Its a fucking hole so you can put your god damn bracket on the back of your cpu so you dont fucking rip your mobo in 1/3rds

Are you fucking retarded? The hole is there so you can mount an after market cooler without needing to remove the whole motherboard.

>Are you fucking retarded?
yes

i am

>The hole is there so you can mount an after market cooler
how would a cooler even fit back there? I have a water cooler in the front

THE BRACKET YOU DEGENERATIVE FUCK

The hole is suppose to line up with your cooler mounting bracket. Either that case is shit or your mobo is shit.

Jesus can you tell us how old your are?

a water cooler would not fit in the back

...

You're a fucking retarded

It's a bracket

It's the black plastic on the back side of your cpu

It's to support the cooler on the other side

Are fucking are you

Are fucking old are you

Who gave you a computer

I know this fucking feel
never again
you're gonna have to take your mobo out

just a note
it's basically put there so you can run the 8pin cable behind your mobo
i don't why they don't just make it a bit bigger for every case

...

J U S T

...

What would I need an 8 pin for? Theres only 4 pin and 3 pin on my mobo.

uhhhhh
bait?

hmm
