AM4 Stock Cooler Mounting Hardware

BritishFace · 27 Apr 2018 at 17:15

Afternoon all! Im in somewhat of a pickle, and i need some help.

I bought an AIO the other day while my RAM is in RMA, after perusing the manual, I realised that it uses the stock AM4 cooler mounting hardware to install the pump and coldplate.

Downside is that this 'narna has either misplaced that original mounting solution somewhere, or has thrown them out.

Im in desperate need of the backplate, screws, and the hooks that are used, I have looked EVERYWHERE for a set and cant find one for love nor money.

Can someone please help me?

(sorry if this was posted in the wrong place!)

That's all I could find, failing that, you can try contacting Overclockers, see if they have any spare from their custom PC builds and willing to sell you one, failing that, your mobo manufacturer or AMD direct.

I do have one, but for obvious reasons, I cant sell it or give it away, if I ever want to sell the board on, i'll need it to re-attach it.

Of course, I dont want to force anyone out of one, that would be a massively douchey move. ill try calling them tomorrow and see if OC can help me out, if not, have a goosey around the net some more, or have a walk around brum.
