The motherboard already comes with a backplate (A in image) but in order to add the plastic bracket that came with the cooler, the motherboard backplate must be removed. The cooler includes an AM4 bracket (B in image) and the necessary stand offs (C in image). And remember the CPU power cable at top). I'm trying to install Cooler Master Hyper 212 (Black) on Asus TUF gaming X570. But just make sure all power connectors are tight and clicked in, on both sides if you are using modular PSU. (I'm sure this is for nothing, since you are experienced builder. Make sure you don't have any exposed metal parts touching each other. The back side of backplate should be covered in soft material which prevents backplate shorting anything. Just to be clear, the system does not turn on at all, I press the power button, all the fans spin for a few seconds and it fails to power on. I'm also troubleshooting this on MSI's forums to see exactly which red light flashes when I press the power button. Initially I used a MSI Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC that is not compatible with Coffee Lake CPUs, I switched to a MSI Z370I GAMING PRO CARBON AC that is compatible, but encounter the same issue. On the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo the screws extend far enough for the backplate to be held in place by the bolts, it does not affect how tight the cooler is mounted on the CPU side.
