Posted March 2, 2015 So I have an LGA 1155 Liquid Cooler just laying here doing NOTHING. And I have an AMD system that has a loud stock heatsink, I use this guy as a HTPC and usually people complain about the noise it generates. So I had a fun idea, now I know you cant easily mount this but after looking online no one has seem to of done this. Mind you I am not spending any additional money. The CPU is an AM3. But I want to mount this liquid cooler on. Now I can get down and dirty with this, maybe using zip ties or some other crazy way. Help me out boys and girls! This is generally a mod, so I am looking for fun ways to test this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 2, 2015 Apply some hot glue to the top of the CPU, then quickly press the cooler on top of it and keep applying pressure until sturdy.

Posted March 2, 2015 Wh...what? I am assuming this is a joke? I mean using hot glue would not be good as thermal paste haha Yes it's a joke . But anyways. I'm not exactly sure how to approach your situation, you could try zip ties. I'm not very creative.
