Right i have been looking for a custom K8 socket convertor for my Thermalright SI-120 so that i could install it on my new AMD Setup.

I found someone willing to sell there K8 Adaptor and got it yesterday, but it looks like it wont fit on my ASRock Dual Sata 2 board.

I removed the old K8 Socket Bracket and attempted to place the Thermalright SI-120 one in its place, but the 4pins that sit in each corner are not in the same place as the one attached to the ASRock, the screw whole are, but i dont have the screws that came with the Thermalright SI-120.

I was thinking of just finding some screws that may fit it, but im worried that it wouldnt be stable enough and may cause to much strain on the board.

I really need to sort this out ASAP, so what should i do? Just throw in the towel with the Thermalright SI-120 and flog it on? or should i try and risk it with some dodgy screws?
 
Yeah i know it is awesome, i had it running on my old P4 system, but miss placed the box which was the reason why i needed to source the K8 Bracket again.

Guess i could go to a DIY store first and try and find the screws as i really dont wanna use any other cooler :/
 
Yeah going to go have a run round in my lunch today and see if i can find some.

I attempted it with some mini ones that i had lying around in my tool box las night but they was a bit too small and i didnt think they would hold it good enough.
 
Hmmm it would seem that the ASRock also needs the "K8 motherboard backplate" which does not come with the SL-120 :/ how gay

Looks like i may have to go buy a new cooler then!
 
Right i can find the above anywhere :/ so im going to go to "local hi-street we dont know computers shop" and pick up at "Akasa AK-913 EVO 33 Direct HeatPipe" as its same price as OcUK and i need it ASAP otherwise id have bought it from here.

I will now be selling the Thermalright SI-120 and 120mm Delta Fan
