Cryorig C7 Mount Hitting Chokes

[J.Poppe]

Hello, I purchased a Cryorig C7 to replace the ugly stock cooler for my i3-8100, but the mounting bracket is just a couple millimeters too big and is hitting the chokes on my ASRock B360M Pro4 motherboard. What is the best way to modify the bracket to gain the few millimeters of clearance I need to mount the cooler? Right now I'm leaning toward purchasing a rotary dremel kit, but I really don't want to spend $60+ on a tool that I will likely use only once.

The go-to for metal cutting is always the hacksaw. Cheap and effective. Although finding a way of holding the bracket to cut it might be an issue.

Thankfully the C7 mounting bracket can be unscrewed, and I should be able to clamp it to a desk/shelf. I'll give this a try, thanks.

Can't you just get a metal file? If you just need a few mm of clearance it might be easier and will look better.
