I recently swapped out my old mobo/cpu/ram for a new setup. It was socket am2+, and upon reading bad reviews about the stock cpu cooler, I went for a thermaltake tr2-r1 ( http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002006 ).
So here's my predicament: my new rig is an AM3+ setup. From what I've read, AM3+ brackets are supposed to be backwards compatible with coolers, but I haven't been able to find any info about that one cooler. It actually looks like I should have more room on the new mobo... But am I stuck finding out the hard way or does anyone have insight on this?
