[QUOTE="rsaeon, post: 2385789, member: 76792"] Nice, that 3D printed bracket turned out a lot better than I thought it would! Is that 100% infill? Did you try stressing it? I wouldn't be using the original mounting screw/bolts/nuts — I''m planning on something like this: [ATTACH alt="mounting.png"]141327[/ATTACH] If there's still space between the bottom of the cooler and the processor, it'll have to be filled in with a copper shim. It may be easier to remove those screws or use a different cooler than to make a custom bracket specific to that cooler. EDIT: So I've discovered the mounting holes almost line up (within 1mm) with the AM3/AM4 bracket comes with the Deepcool GAMMAX 400 cooler: [ATTACH alt="amd_4700s-24.jpg"]141328[/ATTACH] This opens up the possibility of using these brackets to hold down coolers that come with a square rotatable bracket, like Deepcool's AK400 (pictured here screwed into the black backplate): [ATTACH alt="s1.jpeg"]141329[/ATTACH] Of course this means you'll need the mounting hardware for a cooler you wouldn't be using, so this solution is not universal — but that GAMMAX 400 can still be used with Intel processors so it's not a complete loss. But then again, if you're able to get [USER=138]@SunnyBoi[/USER]'s custom bracket made/cut then the AK400 above would work nicely. [/QUOTE]
