aurora r7 , liquid cooling question

Question

hi was looking at upgrading my stock cpu air cooled r7 with a liquid one was wondering will i need to pull out the mobo to attach the backing plate or is there already one there i can use?

the vid i watched used the corsair h60 so i was thinking of using that cooler..

but any better recommendations would be very helpful

I installed the h60 on an R7 and you don't need to remove the mobo.  You can use the oem backplate, the threading is the same as the air cooler and corsair aio.

Sure, I have 4 x 16gb hyperx fury 2933 from amazon. The retail 2933 version was replaced by 3000 sticks at the end of 2019.
