I'm planning on case swapping my dell optiplex to a regular ATX case and an issue im having is about the heatsink/fan. I've heard that the cpu cooling is a proprietary soloution and that replacing it will require a lot of ghetto fitting. If anyone knows about a cooling bracket that wont cause any issues can you please inform me

It looks kinda standard. Why not just use the same cooler? Also you are going to have to ghetto anyways to make it fit inside a case since the mounting holes are non standard for the motherboard

Can you open up the case and post a photo of the cooler?
