OldTimeRocker Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I just purchased the A70 and removed the liquid cooler that came with my system. (My system was overheating with the cooling solution supplied by the manufacturer.) However, I do not have the stock AMD mounting bracket, so I cannot attach the A70. I'm very disappointed that Corsair doesn't include a bracket for AMD users. Can anyone recommend a place where I can get obtain one of these brackets? If I cannot find one, I will have no choice but to return the A70. Thanks... OTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that since you do not have the bracket, that the installer of the original cooling system removed it. Also, do you have a local independent computer shop?

Yellowbeard - you are exactly correct. I purchased it from Cyberpower, and they removed it to install the "free" liquid cooler provided with my PC. The free cooler was junk, however. PC overheated just running Windows 7. I went to quite a few different shops today, but no one had a standard AMD mounting bracket for sale. I ended up returning the unit and buying a competitor's cooler who did provide an AMD mounting bracket with their unit. OTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Personally I would've gone back to the store because the cooler they put on wasn't working, but to each his own. GL with the rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
