I mod things. I remove things. I add things. That's why. I've run cpu's in AMD boards with the top part torn off, but I understand that's a different creature.
I'd like to remove it so it doesn't absorb heat. Does that make any sense? No doubt in my mind that's what it does.
The cooling device mounting is plenty pressure to hold it still isn't it?
Oh yea and the screws are super close if not touching my case. I could cut that part out, but the next board may have the Cpu located in a different area and I don't want to hack the motherboard tray up.
So look. The black plasic thing that holds the cpu in place. Not the metal hold down that's flipped up. The black thing is glued on right? No worries? The Cpu should pretty much stay put?
This is NOT an exact picture of MY board. just an example cause mine looks like this one.

I've removed the metal bracket before with no ill harm, just make sure not to over due when you tighten the block down........................
