Quick into:
I used to have a watercooling unit on an old A8N32 SLI mobo. I dug it out and the watercooling died on me. I took the unit out and bought a Rocketfish Universal CPU cooler at Bestbuy.
So:
A8N32-SLI mobo + AMD(4800+) 939 cpu + Rocketfish Universal CPU Cooler
Now... I do not see where the cooler's "mounting bracket" is supposed to hook on. What I see on my motherboard right now is the naked 939 socket. I slotted the CPU in and did nothing else.
The "bracket" is supposed to "hook" on the "mounting post". Since I did not mount that I either lost it or it never came with the original PC I bought (I assume the watercooling unit did not use that mounting post).
I have failed to find pictures of what a mounting post is. Worse, I cannot seem to find one for sale.
So my questions are:
Can someone, please, show me what the mounting post is supposed to look like?
Any idea where I can buy one?
Do "mounting posts" go by any other name? Mounting post is the term they use in the Rocketfish's cooler instruction manual.
It might be something simple and I am just being dumb. I'll take the abuse if you can clarify any of this for me.
Thanks Anandtech forums!
