He is not talking about cutting it WHILE its on the board.... If you would have read my posts to him you would see how I showed him how to remove the backplate and retainer so that he can fit is other cooler. I had the same board before so I am walking him through how to do it without damaging the board.

get some kerosene. douse the back of the motherboard. wait couple of mins. then get it off.
WD-40 might work.

Also if you want to keep the socket retainer you can use a cut off wheel to cut the ears off the old backplate were it will fit on the board and you still can use the new coolers backplate.
*edit*
All you need is this part to retail the socket latch.
Is it safe to use the cpu without the retention bracket once I remove that back-plate? Else-wise, I'll have to make a trip to Home Depot to get it cut.

Find another way. You can use the existing back plate

The Hyper 212 is incompatible with the original backplate.

Why? Threads? There is a way
You might have to sacrifice the mounting hardware but it can be done. I think you can buy the mounting hardware kit from Cooler Master
You could even drill the threads out. No need to remove the back plate

I'll find small screws to substitute the the ones that were on the backplate connecting to the retainer.
