Ummm..that's how the directions dictate you should put it on. Unless your using a K8. But IIRC the directions are still to put the baackplate on.
Be aware, the Big Typhoon does not fit on a DFI Infinity. You'll need a dremmel to modify your H Clip as it touches the parallel port. Also, the foam is supposed to have adhesive on both sides, mine had none! The H Clip also does not line up to the motherboard mount hole in the upper left corner of the mb. QC at Thernaltake is lacking.

In other words, I might have to remove the whole thing from my case again to get it off the CPU, I'm not sure.
