I have an arctic cooling freezer 64 cooler that I would like to reuse, however I am going to go the C2D route instead of sticking with 939/AM2.

the coolers look similar (the intel and amd versions) on AC's website, however the mounting mechanism is very different.

now my question is about the 4 mounting holes around the CPU socket.

is it possible to use the A64 backplate/mounting bracket on an intel board? i would imagine that those 4 holes are very similar, and that they have been around for a long time, since i remember using those holes to mount my alpha heatsink from back in the P4 days.

anyone have any success with this before?

It's really hard, AC PRO series coolers are not universal. It's not worth to try, cause this cooler is really cheap.
