upgrade bracket is RR-AM4B-H121-S and is not available currently. and with 2 fans this unit keeps my 8150 at 50c while Folding@home runs full bore all day and night. I just really really hate specifically buying a thing to do a thing, fully intending to future proof myself, and instead i find out i got b-stock

This is frickin annoying. I currently have an Am3+ system, and back in november i picked a coolermaster 212 for it. I intentionally went looking for an am3+ / am4 cooler knowing FULL WELL that within a year i would be going Ryzen. At this point my ryzen 5 3600 is in its box next to me, and my MSI x470 G.P.M. will be here wednesday for sure, and my 2x8gb ram and my 512gb M.2 nvme is currently ... uh ... wandering around on an amazon truck. IDK. so anyways, today i have been looking for case fans. Theres alot of LED 3 packs online so i figured use 1 each for case intake, CPU intake, and case exhaust, and use the CM212 fan for cpu exhaust. So i wind up on amazon to see if the fan specs are on the listing, as i want to match fan CFM (round about) but while im there, i realize my 212 is a wee bit different. I bought a hyper 212 black edition, but it has a hyper 212 evo fan, and its not actually AM4+ compatable. And i know how i missed the am4 bit. its because of how much effort it took to get it on. The QC on the metal bracket is TRASH and the screws are slightly misaligned with the back plate. it was a massive fight to get all 4 screws to start and by the time i was done i had a headache. So fckn pssd right now.

So my current desktop is from about the end of 2012. My OLD pc was an e8500 cpu on a ga-p35-dq6 mobo, and an Nvidia 7900gs, but a customer at work brought me his sons old gaming rig knowing i would find a use for it. Get it home and look it over and this is what i had: Corsair CX750m PSU - freshly installed too! asus m5a99x evo board amd fx8150 on stock cooler powercolor Radeon HD 6150 (2x8G) G.skill DDR3-1333 I proceed to hook it all up, fire it up, windows updates, computer does a restart and .... no dice, Doesnt want to post. So i start trouble shooting, pull and reseat the GPU, same with both sticks of ram, fans and drives and poke this prod that restart restart restart. Well this explains why it got a PSU just before it got given to me. They thought it was a PSU problem and when that failed they gave up. Sometimes it boots to the lock screen fine, sometimes it wont post, sometimes it blue screens or just absolutely hard resets while running. the only time i got CONSISTENT results was when it was pretty much stripped down to mobo / cpu / cooler / psu So after a good bit of trouble shooting, and lots of swapping things around, and lots of me screaming, I pull the ram out for like the 8th time and a lil fuzz ball comes with it... Que more screaming. If i remember correctly I was yelling "how the FRACK did a cat manage to yack a furball DIRECTLY into a ram slot?" So after treating my ram slots like dirty lil SNES cartridges and installing the Patriot ram from my old PC the problem finally goes away completely. Over the summer I added a Hyper master 212 evo to replace the dieing stock cooler fan, and 2 more sticks of 8G patriot viper 1866. So now heres my problem: MY GPU started to act up a lil bit, and i decided to pull it apart so i could clean the cooler and apply new thermal paste, but turns out the PCB looks like its spent its life in a damp salty environment and I figured I should just replace it. I went on craigslist and found a few canidates. An EVGA 1050ti for $150 but didn't get to it in time. Then found a Gigabyte GeForce 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G for $220 but it was really a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 G1 so it was nearly retail price. Hard pass. So in the end i wound up spending $337.11 on a EVGA 2060 KO Ultra because I HAVE NO FUCKING SELF CONTROL. But also because market rate on used cards is damn near retail right now, so might as well ACTUALLY go retail. So now i hate the rest of my computer because i put a rtx 2060 in a 2012 Ford Pinto and I'm having a horribly hard time stopping myself from just ordering the parts to copy the LTT $800 Gaming Rig and then converting my current PC into my own Plex server. Kung Flu isolation is getting to me! Send help!

Current setup is: CX750m PSU asus m5a99x evo amd fx8150 coolermaster hyper 212 black - single fan (keeping my cpu @ 42c despite 80-90% cpu utilization for the last 24h straight) Radeon HD 6150 (4x8GB) Patriot Viper III DDR3 1866MHz windows 10 64-bit hp 27er monitor the gtx 1060 i mentioned in the title is listed on FB marketplace near me for $200, and i was planning on just adding it to one of my available slots and letting it fold all day, as my current card is all i need for we browsing and some simple games i play.
