CPU cooler brackets are too big, please help

[sonofpern]

I bought a cooleraster hyper T2 and it's a lot bigger than I thought but the problem is that the adapters it came with are too big for my sx2185-ur24 motherboard. 55mm x 65mm is the hole spacing. I could cut the old heat sink into a bracket since the old pins won't hold it together anymore anyway after I got them out. Measure first, they said....I did not. If I can mount it, I'll run it, even if it means laying the computer flat or making a kickstand. Maybe I'll just call Cooler Master

For now, the computer is laying on its side with the cooler resting on the APU and some straps and insulated braces holding it up in place. It's working really well, almost never goes over 70C while gaming, stock cooler easily saw 82C. I've been considering building a new computer anyway, so if this goes boom, no tears here. I'd still rather have the correct mounting bracket if they exist.

For fun, I'll add that I've upgraded a few things already. Aside from the semi installed CM Hyper cooler, I've upgraded from 4 to 8GB RAM, added an MSI gt 710, thus an EVGA bronze ATX 450watt that runs from outside the case. I dual screen an old small monitor to monitor CPU, GPU etc. Next I'll be cutting the case side panel to accommodate the cooler and possibly see if I can mount the PSU to the case.

I realigned the cooler today, been playing Astroneer on high settings, topping out at 66C on the CPU when I drive into unexplored areas at full speed! I just need to do some modding so it doesn't look like I dropped a radiator on my motherboard
