Oh, sorry. Didn't notice you hijacked the thread. I thought I was still working with marsden5.
Intel doesn't use retention brackets. AMD uses a retention bracket to mount their cooler to. Intel uses a pushpin mounting that needs no retention bracket. If you are using the stock Intel cooler, it comes with all you need. If you are using a 3rd party cooler, it will come with hdwr. for mounting to whatever socket it is designed for.
All LGA 11xx and 775 socket cooler mounting patterns are the same.
