(Fixed) Retention bracket broken
Hi, guys. I need some advice. My retention bracket broke today and I need a new one. I have a socket AM2 board, so it only has 1 tab on each side, unlike the 939 bracket, which had 3 per side.
I'm using a 939 cooling solution right now, it was supposed to work but the plastic on my bracket was really cheap. It was a clean break, looks like a plastic weld. My question is, what should I do? I kind of don't want to buy another stock one since I've seen some with the three tabs. They are the Thermalright rev. a and b brackets, but my question is were the original heatsinks for these designed for the 939? If that's the case, I assume the bracket is the same as the 939 bracket, just designed to fit on the 4-screw mount of the AM2 board rather than the 2 screw mount of the 939 boards.
In short: Will one or both of the Thermalright AM2 brackets work with my 939 Arctic Cooling Freezer64 Pro? Thanks.
