A friend (who can't spend any money) needs a new GPU and I still have my old ASUS GTX 970 STRIX with a broken cooler lying around. I'd buy this cooler https://www.arctic.ac/ch_de/accelero-twin-turbo-ii.html, but I'm not sure if it will fit. The current heat sink has 4 screw nuts attached so that the screws can actually reach up to it. The new cooler looks like the holes for the screws are on a flat plate so I'm concerned that it won't fit nicely or not at all. Can anyone recommend me a cooler that will definitely fit? I'd like it to be 80 USD or less since I'm giving it away for free.

Thanks in advance!

If you look hard enough on ebay, you might be able to find a kraken g10 or similar bracket and a cheap 120 AIO for under $80, that would give killer performance and he could bring it to his next card for cheap if he buys a new bracket.
