ghetto rig an Intel stock cooler for my 1700X ?

[ActuallyGoose]

So firstly fuck Centrecom. I've got my Corsair H115i waiting, but need a fucking bracket for my am4 mobo. so for two weeks i've been waiting for a shipment from another cities store. and i've had enough. Can I ghetto rig my intel stock cooler to my mobo and get away with it? Or is that a horrible idea, i'm not sure what cooling ryzen needs, but I assume an intel stock would do sweet fa. Just curious for oppinions

I mean strap it it on securely and see what the temps are like, if its too hot turn it off. There are safeties in place to prevent damage provided you don't force it to keep running.

Well, always worth a try... i would recommend zipties. But remember to watch temps very closely. Oh centrecom...yeah that company...I just use MSY.

Some companies sell them for free but then don't ship them for free. Corsair doens't have shipping costs so it's cheaper than lets say CM.

Yeah, I was hoping to not drive into Melbourne, I live about an hour and a half away. So that's like $50 in fuel

Annoying part is that most shops are closed on sunday, and monday is a public holiday. So i assume they are closed then too

Yeah especially computer stores. Well no luck, I couldn't find a single store that stocked the bracket near Geelong, they're all out near Glen Waverly and Tulla.

[ActuallyGoose]

I saw that CPL had them stocked, if i bought one with express postage, it should get here by hopefully tuesday/wednseday (Annoying since I know for a fact Frankstone and sunshine Centrecom have them stocked, and they were meant to have one sent 2 weeks ago)

Ever heard of zip ties?
