Is my CPU cooler really not compatible with my CPU/Motherboard?
EDIT: Thanks for all your help - Seems as if I've thrown away the AMD fittings all those years ago as I was using Intel up until today.
Hello all,
I'm in the process of replacing my motherboard, CPU and RAM per the build below, and as I've gone to fit the CPU cooler it seems as if there's no way to actually screw it in with the holes/fittings provided with the motherboard.
Is PC Part Picker incorrect in stating my cooler is compatible with AMD5 sockets? Did I maybe bin some sorta of fitting when I originally bought my cooler 7 years ago? Have I misread something?
Thanks for any help
