MSN K8N Neo Platinum

[FiberoN]

I have an MSN K8N Neo Platinum and I just recently ordered a Zalman CNPS7000B-CU heatsink to accompany the system below. I tried to install it but the backplate that comes with the motherboard is glued on and I can't take it off. I tried installing it with that backplate but the heatsink is so high it doesn't even touch the CPU. Has anyone had this problem or is there a way of taking of this backplate without damaging the motherboard?

Have you or anyone reading this done this or are you just suggesting something?

Okay, thanks I'll see if I give it a shot this weekend. Thanks!
