Help needed about my cpu cooler!

I have a pretty old system now with an AMD FX-6300, and me still being fairly uneducated with the cpu side of things, ordered an Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO without realising that it will not fit on my motherboard with it being an AM3+. Is there any way i can get a bracket that will fit it on as the bracket for the cooler is millimetres off the hole for the screw to go through. If not, what would your advice be as i really like the look and reviews of this cooler, and i don't want to start spending more money as i would have to update motherboard, cpu and memory. Any feedback would be great!

The FX series is starting to get pretty old.  Saving up for an new setup might not be a bad idea.  You can then use your cooler in your new build.  It's not like the cooler will go bad in a year or two, it's a hunk of metal with a fan on it.

 

As a more direct answer to your question, I couldn't find one on amazon.  Most people have the opposite problem of wanting to make an old AM3 cooler work on a AM4 Mobo.  I suppose if you measured carefully you might be able to 3D print something.

Well you can go really ghetto way using cable ties, I done it before (different mobo and cpu) and it worked quite well.

   @Whiro tag or quote will do the trick
