you will need to pull the motherboard, dell also uses screw down mounts for thier proprietary heatsink/fan, so you will need to pull the the screw mounts out of the motherboard after you remove it....Dell doesnt use typical pushpin heatsink mounts, they make it very difficult to upgrade the 435t/9000...

Are you talking about removing motherboard backplate, please confirm, if yes I have a few advices on glued backplate and screw attached back plate.

the question was asked by DNX at the beginning of this thread, Im not sure if its a glued backplate on the 435t/9000, but I do know that he cannot remove the lateral panel, therefore he has to remove the motherboard to install an aftermarket heatsink/fan.Unless he uses a dell replacement heatsink/fan with screwdown mounts....but lets hear the advices on glued backplates anyway I'll surely listen

First I need conformation that the picture below is indeed XPS 435 motherboard, second what kind of material made those 4 screw location "plates" or washers, is it soft plastic/rubber or metal.
Going to work now, will comeback tomorrow here, I wish someone could find the picture of the MOBO backplate.
