I bought a Thermalright True Spirit 140 while it was on special offer. I was very careful about checking that it wasn’t too tall, and that it wouldn’t interfere with the memory. Unfortunately I’ve now realised that it’s so wide that it blocks the top PCI-E slot on my Z77-D3H which I need for my sound card.
As it was a self-inflicted injury, and I’ve opened and messed around with the installation hardware, I’ve stuck it on the shelf for the moment. I'll find a use for the fan at some point.
I’ve now remembered that I’ve got another Thermalright cooler (Ultima-90) sat on the shelf that would probably be good enough, or is at least worth trying. It’s actually very similar to the True Spirit 120.
The problem is a lack of 1155/1156 mounting hardware. Thermalright still have their ‘Socket 1156 Bolt-Thru-Kit Rev.B’ on their website, but it doesn’t seem to be available anymore.
Has anyone seen these mounting kits still available for sale anywhere? No names obviously, just a yes or no will do.
Any clever ideas about other mounting hardware that could work?
For reference the mounting is the same as the old Thermalright Ultra series coolers.
