I bought a new CPU cooler; a Noctua NH-U9B SE2.
My current MOBO is MSI 990FXA-GD80, Socket-AM3+, and my current CPU cooler is the stock cooler for AMD Phenom II 1090 X6.
Problem is the docking system or whatever that holds the heatsink in place and connects it to the motherboard on the back side, isn't shaped after the screw holes.
This is really annoying, and if it's fixable, please reply. The current cooler is noisy as hell!
Thanks.
