LGA115x to LGA775 heatsink fan mod (Question).

[adibhakim]

Hello,

As stated in the title, my main concern is whether it is possible for me to mod my LGA115x cooler onto my LGA775 motherboard seeming that I accidentally bought Be Quiet! Pure Rock Slim from someone on the online marketplace not knowing that it would not fit my motherboard (though I checked several sites on the Net saying otherwise).

My plan is to use a custom backplate that can be bought on eBay similar to the link below;

And here is a picture of my cooler;

So again, my question is, is it possible to do so if I get rid of the push-pin fasteners on the cooler bracket and replace it with screws and washers together with a backplate on the back? If possible, will the cooler fit tightly to my processor if I mod it this way?

Thank you for your time.

If you can this mounting kit, because I don't you are in USA or not, that will be much more easier. https://www.ebay.com/p/EVERCOOL-Ec-lga775n-es-Universal-Screw-Mounting-for-Socket-775-Cooer-W-back-Plat/2254441322

So it is possible. Thank you so much for the reply and also the suggestion. Unfortunately, the suggested item is considered too pricey for me. But, I will try to manage some other way. Again, thank you. Really appreciate that.
