Take out pci-e card, pci cards, etc.

Remove necessary cables.

Remove screws that secure motherboard.

With that motherboard you should be able to use the oem backplate, which would save you the trouble of taking motherboard out.

so that means i will have to remove it in the first place?

EDIT: i remembered that the case has a removable mobo tray so i guess i dont have to take out any screws.

You shouldn't need to remove anything other then what it takes to get access to the CPU socket area. Just take out the two screws in your CPU retention on your board and install the Zalman 9500.
