I have an older Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF that I used on my old computer. It was an Abit k7v motherboard with an AMD Barton 2.5ghz cpu. (socket 462)
I currently have an AMD x2 560 Black edition cpu with an Asus M4N68T-M Motherboard. (Socket AM3)
Obviously due to the socket differences the clip that fit on the old one doesn't fit on the new one. The HSF still works great. I am wondering, is there anywhere I can buy a new bracket to fit onto the new system?
I've looked at pictures and Thermaltake seems to make a HSF to fit on the AM3 socket, that looks almost identical to the one I have.
This is a perfectly good HSF, I'd rather not have to buy a new one if I don't have to.
