Hey all, recently bought a nzxt kraken x62, I need the bracket with the four screw holes but keep getting sent the bracket with the hook screw. This is a problem because to install my stock air cooler for my ryzen processor I had to remove the stock mother board brackets and threw them away! What do I do???

well, you should always keep things you can't easily replace in your motherboard box in a closet somewhere. Things like unused SATA cables, RGB cables, warranty info, etc.

 

Thankfully:

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

Is there no way to get the four screw hole bracket like I’ve seen sooo many others use?

More than likely what you are seeing is the Intel mounting. If this is the case...no, there is no way to use Intel mounting with an AMD motherboard.

 

You need what @fasauceome recommended.

Intel i7 8700k | Asus ROG Strix Z370-I | NVidia RTX 2070 Super Reference | Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3600MHz x 32GB | Samsung 970 Evo 500GB NVMe | Samsung QVO 1TB SSD | Custom Loop | Corsair RMx 850w Gold | Phanteks Evolv iTX TG (modded) | Acer Predator XB1

what I’m looking for is the one in this video (I already ordered the brackets recommended by the person above, I’m just looking for clarification)

Dude seriously looks like hes somehow using the Intel mounting brackets for his AMD system. My H150i Pro uses the default brackets on the motherboard (AMD). So something tells me this guy is going off the beatin path for some reason.

 

Edit: I never installed the stock cooler, but why would you have to remove the stock motherboard bracket to install it? Last I knew, you never had to do that.
