[SOLVED] HP PRO DESK 600 G1 SFF Aftermarket heatsink will fit??

[tazman2018]

Got this desktop PC with its stock Heatsink/cpu cooler. (Cooler Master)

Took the MB out tried in the new case to realise that there isn't a back plate for the Heatsink/cpu cooler to sit in.

In the old case the bracket that holds the heatsink/cpu cooler is chassis part of the case meaning the case it self.

Tried intel standard Heatsink/cpu cooler doesn't fit as its square, the holes on the MB are in a rectangular shape.

Wanted to know what Heatsink/cpu cooler with back plate would fit this board.

This you tuber does it with just four hex nuts skip to about half way through the video

top man will give a shot though about using standoffs but hex nuts seems the best bet.

managed to get the stock heatsink on in a differnt case did stress test PRIME95 gots temps up to 90c

Registered to post here - doing one of these as well pulling from our scrap pile at work. Case was going in the trash, so just snipped the standoffs and I'm in business.

Still waiting on power supply & GPU, so only had it running for an hour or so to get Windows 10 installed, updated, and tinker a bit (using original PSU & onboard video). It's set aside until PSU & GPU are on hand in a week or so - an inexpensive OEM Thermaltake 600W 80+ Gold unit, and a used Sapphire RX570 4GB. Putting together a super budget rig capable of decent gaming experience for a friend using a generic mATX case I had on hand, the COMeap 24-pin ATX to HP power supply adapter found on Amazon ($15), and a spare SSD & HDD I had sitting unused.

End specs will be:
Motherboard: HP ProDesk 600 G1 mATX
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590
RAM: 16GB (4GB x4) DDR3-1600
GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX570 4GB
PSU: Thermaltake 600W 80+ Gold non-modular (PS-TTP-0600NNFAGU-1)
Case: Generic mATX (old "Systemax" branded case)
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
HDD: Not sure yet, I have a few older 1TB/2TB varieties I'll test and put one in

Should be a ripper for little money, with a pretty good quality power supply ensuring everything should likely function well for a long time. Will probably price this at around $300 including my time to gather everything & build.

I cleaned the CPU & heatsink w/ isopropyl alcohol and applied Arctic Silver MX-4 before reattaching the heatsink. CPU is an i5-4590.

While Windows updates were installing, CPU usage in the 35-50% range, doing normal browser-related searches etc..., CPU temps were in the 50C range using HWMonitor, and the heatsink fan was inaudible (to me). System was nice and snappy with a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO.
