I recently upgraded my system to AMD Ryzen platform and my old cpu block is end of line product with no AM4 mounting support as I contacted the manufacturer. It seems that old cpu block provided a hard sale, so what do other cooling enthusiast do with their remaining cpu block or gpu block from their previous build? Just seeking for suggestions. Thanks in advanced all.
 
You could sell it, maybe someone out there wants it.


Otherwise idk, I've got a bin full of old HSFs that I was a little hoarderish about. Occasionaly I'll pull one out and use it as an overkill heatsink for a transistor in a project or something.

It's unfortunate there aren't more companies like noctua supplying upgrade kits.
 
You could always try lowering the price if it's not selling. Something is better then nothing.

I swear the first time I read your post I thought it said heatsink. I need more sleep.
 
I add it to the collection, although its been a while since I've had to.

My current block (Apogee XT) has gone through 5 CPUs in 7 years.
Intels new 6+6 core i7 can use the same coolers so its still compatible.
 
What types of tools do you need to drill or make your own mounting plate? I had never done this before, but the quality of the cpu block is one of the best I owned sad to just throw it out.
