Hopefully someone can help!
I bought an A8N-SLI secondhand, and I bought a Thermalright XP-120 retail. The XP-120 came with it's own retention bracket, however, the screws that came with it have nothing to fasten down to.
The previous owner removed the stock retention bracket, and all thats there besides the the bed for the processor are two pretty large holes. I'm familiar with socket 478 retention brackets, which have plastic anchors to hold the bracket in, but I have no idea how the socket 939 processor works with screws and such.
If I order an ordinary replacement retention bracket off ebay, will that include something for the screws to fasten down to beneath the motherboard?
I've contacted the seller but if someone knows what to do sooner, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
