Depends.
If your motherboard has a decent backplate you don't have to remove it.

Depends agian. ;)
When you've installed the cooler and you want to install memory into the 4th slot, you'll have to remove the cooler. It is however possible to use the 4th slot since it only hangs over it.

I did had to remove it cause that backplate fell of....works now great for mid ocing :)

Also 4th slot is usable just when if i want to remove ram i'll need to take cooler off hehe...
