No, you don't have to. This is how I did the install:
Unplug power supply
turn on the PC (it should not turn on , remaining el. shoud be gone)
remove original cooler and cpu
close the bracket, prepare Veetro Cooler and align screws on cooler base with holes in the MB. Its a pain to do it with new paste etc.
Also note the letter V on cooler base, install it so you don't have it upside down like me, remove cooler base
plug the Veetro fan into MOBO. It's a pain to do it after you install your cooler base, move it aside
Re-paste and install your CPU
Install the cooler base. Should be very easy when you have now all the screws aligned, tighten
Install fan on cooler base
plug in, turn on, everything works, no error message during boot
I know I do not have a time machine, but the i3 version was on sale on the 12th and 15th this month, for 300. Cannot say there will be more deals but maybe worth waiting to save 100.

Ahh really need a PC like this just to have a media server I can always keep on. Is this worth it? I'm looking for something in the 250-300 range

I have it. After clean win install and cpu fan replacemt, it is a quiet low profile desktop. How many hard drives are you planning on installing?
Is the PSU upgradable? I have an RTX 3080 and 4th gen intel i7 which is struggling to keep up with it Also it lacks Windows 11 supports
I don't want to spend a ton on new PC

Are you using plex/emby/Jellyfin? This will definitely work as the integrated graphics should be able to handle up to 20 hardware transcodes.
I currently use HP S01-pf1013w for my plex box. This is under $200 on e bae currently. Add in another 4 gig stick of ram and a 256gig nvme drive and it'll be a very performant box for plex.
I keep my media on a separate nas so I don't need a lot of hard drive bays so the hp I recommended may not be for you. But if you already have a separate device/nas with your media I can't recommend this higher.
If you have any questions about my setup I'd be happy to answer them.

Which CPU fan did you go with? I've been looking to replace the one in my Dell G5 and Dell 8940. Thanks!
