Hi ,

I installed a Corsair H50 a while back and removed the stock AM3 motherboard retention bracket .

I've lost it , so I'm looking for a Air Cooler that has its own propriety AM3 Mounting bracket included ?

[ P.S. - I've ordered a replacement AM3 Bracket, but it's coming from Taiwan and will take about 2 weeks or more to get here . ]

You probably have to aim high end, as most of the air coolers probably use the stock retention.

Hmmm, looks like the Cooler Master 212+ uses bolt-thru.

For once a bit of luck, I actually have a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 from from a previous build .

I had to mod the steel retention plates with new screw holes, but it fitted nicely .

Cheers
