Hey all,

 

I'm trying to install a KR02 CPU cooler on my motherboard but can't seem to get it to fit. Do I need custom mounting brackets?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Specs...

CPU Cooler: SilverStone SST-KR02 Krypton 92mm CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Gigabyte B460 HD3 LGA1200 B460 Chipset ATX Motherboard ATX,

 

Thanks in advance.

manual?

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Checked it but it doesn't show anything regarding the LGA 1200 socket but it does say that it's compatible online.

LGA 1200 is mounted the same as 115x

The top bracket is adjustable. Adjusted it so it can fit trough the bottom of the mobo but as you can see it doesn't line up.

Use the holes closer towards the center for 1200. The ones currently being used are for 1366.

Hi
I also have a problem and part of the processor is not under the heat sink and the processor suffers from a thermal bottleneck. Can you help me with this? How did you adjust the brackets to fit the 1200 socket? It would be great if you could teach me with a photo.
