Question I Lost the AM4 CPU stock Heat sink Bracket, Socket Retention Mounting Bracket.

[shreyas133719]

I moved abroad for work/study so, while shifting I lost the stock CPU Socket Retention Mounting Bracket that came with my Motherboard and I can't use the stock wraith cooler that came with the 5600 that I just bought, are there replacement for the retention bracket available? Or should I buy a better cooler that comes with the CPU retention bracket ( I have seen coolers like the Deepcool AG400 that does not come with a retention bracket but comes only with the metal heat sink bracket that holds the cooler. )? if yes what are my option? and I am on a very very tight budget cuz I just moved in and the work will start in couple of days and I am losing my mind. xD

Your help is much appreciated.

Are these available in the US? And what about the coolers? Can you recommend me the ones which come with the brackets?

Just search for AM4 OEM CPU Bracket. Where are you located?

the thermalright peerless assassin has its own mounting bracket. it's cheap, much better than the stock cooler and can't be beat for the money if your gonna get a whole cooler rather than the default mounting bracket

There is a Microcenter in Cambridge, They might have it.

Micro Center - Google Search

Or other local computer shop. Heck, I have a couple in my parts bin.

Yup, found it in a local computer shop nearby, learned a lesson tho, even the most insignificant thing that we wouldn't usually worry about much could hinder the work and bring the whole system to a halt.

Thanks for the help xD
