Hyper 212 Evo AM4 bracket

MatteRB26 · 22 Dec 2019 at 18:08

I've changed from Intel to AMD and I've found that my Hyper 212 Evo that did a stellar job on my 3570k is from before they came with the AM4 brackets. I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find a bracket for it outside of buying a whole new cooler.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find an AM4 bracket for the cooler?

Have you contacted the manufacturer to see if they sell them directly?

I've raised a ticket with Cooler Master, but haven't heard back yet, they tused to sell them but not anymore.

£15 delivered :eek:

I'm also after this, shame it looks like I'll have to junk a perfectly good cooler and buy a new one.

I contacted Coolermaster and they sent out the AM4 brackets free of charge.

I raised a ticket complaining that the stock clip put the heatsink and fans in such an orientation that it compromised cooling. On my motherboard it meant the air being pulled from the GPU and pushed to the top of the case, rather than pulling cool air from the case front fans and exhausting from the rear case fan directly in line of the cooler.

I saw that, but for that price with delivery, I may as well pour a little more and get a brand new Evo and give my current one to my brother-in-law - he's getting my old components.
