[SOLVED] Cpu heatsink with only 2 screws

[jacob.kobialka]

Basically i sold my old motherboard with 2 bits that connected the 4 screws for the cpu cooler and makes them into to 2 vertical screws (left and right) And now i cant mount my heatsink onto my new motherboard since i dont have the 2 bits connecting the 4 screws. Does anyone know what those bits are called ???

Do you have any images or model of the cooler? Is it the Intel pushpins you were talking about?

Sounds like those pieces came with the COOLER itself?

I'd be surprised if they sold replacement parts that you can just Google to replace or go to the cooler site to replace. If so you may be SOL and need to buy a new cooler.

Also, if you are switching to an AM4 motherboard your cooler would need to be compatible with the AM4 socket.
