I've never had a bad experience with push-pins. You just pop them in 1,3,2,4, and use a screw driver to rotate them in place. Done.

well - based on those pictures, I can't fathom that cooler being heavy enough to require a backing plate, or any other means of installation that the push-pins couldn't handle.

Sure, they're not always the best solution in the world, but . . . when you're trying to get your product to market first . . .

Why didn't intel tell motherboard makers "yo bitches add a backplate cuz tpu'ers prefer em"

Then if they all had backplates you wouldn't have to take it off in the firstplace.

cause it's Intel . . . y'know, "we are the industry standard - follow our example or GTFO."

I agree they should all come stock with back plates but we all know how that works ; p

The thing I've noticed about push pins. The cheaper the motherboard the more it feels like it is going to brake. Thats including the same brands. I've used them in Asus, Intel, Evga, and a couple of others. In my EVGA 780i board for example they worked fine but in the cheapo economy EVGA board someone had me put in, I was praying with every push the board didn't snap.
