Specific heatsink type

[Larnuk]

This might be a long shot, but does anyone know of a heatsink that is similar to the Intel stock cooler in which it doesn't require access of the rear of the MOBO? It doesn't have to cool it extremely well, just perhaps better than stock.

 

Using my set-up, since it's already built, would mean taking the whole PC apart to change only the heatsink. If there really aren't many options for what I'm looking for, I guess it wouldn't be too bad to do a full take-down, but I would like to save myself from doing that.

Not on the Intel side. You could with some on the AMD bracket, but anything past the push pins requires a backplate.

I use this for replacements when ever a 1150,1155 or 1156 and even 775 fans breaks down, it does the job better and it is cheap. Also i like the look of the yellow fan when it spins up. Its ready to go out of the box. Same mount system as the stock heat sink. I havent had one break on me, so far ive brought 12 of them.
