Corsair H100i Hydro - AMD Mounting Bracket

[Rhaom]

So, I have run into a bit of a problem.

I have just purchased the Corsair H100i Hydro cooling system but the mounting bracket on my MB is specific to my old Zalman Air Cooler.

The Corsair H100i doesnt come with a standard AMD Mounting bracket... I have found one on amazon but all the reviews say its really weak.

Does anybody know where I can get a suitable Standard AMD Mounting Bracket suitable for an AM3+

Are you referring to this one? The review looks fine to me. Maybe you can try to find them from one of your local PC store, it should be widely available.

Surprisingly it would appear that no computer stores around here know what a CPU Mounting Bracket is... I phoned 4 different computer shops here and all of them basically asked what i was talking about!

I did find one in the end though, I went with: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's good to know that you were able to find one online.

Now I'm no expert, but shouldn't it come with that? O.o

Most of the after market coolers nowadays will not come with the AMD backplate and bracket. Because, those AMD backplates are always included and attached already when you buy the MB. Plus, I don't think that they are meant to be removed, even when you are using an aftermarket cooler... unless the cooler requires you to use the one provided by the maker.
