Heatsink retainer Question.

[Osvaldosldn]

I need to buy a heatsink retainer. The heatsink i bought originally did not fit my motherboard ( Motherboard Dell 570 )

However i'm curious if any of these heatsink + retainer will fit it, and be able to keep my AMD athlon II processor cool.
( Heatsinks

Thanks!

Any stock AMD Ath II cooler will work. If you want better cooling for possible overclocking, go with this:

I have bought that Retainer but it simply doesn't find. The holes where the screws are supposed to adjust to and screw int place, don't match.

Hi

many Dell desktop motherboards use non standard heat sink & mounting

Look at Dell service manual for details and ask Dell technical support for advice


Is the old one broken or are you upgrading ?
