I recently bought a Ultra ChillTec (unused) at a thrift-store for $20! It comes with AM2, K8, and 775 CPU brackets. I wanted to use this cooler with an FX-8320.

My question is; Does anyone know where I can buy an aftermarket AM3+ CPU bracket that will work with this CPU cooler?

Good news and bad news.
Bad first since I can: That cooler was never intended to work on AM3+ (It came out long before)
Good news: AM2 mounting hardware should work on AM3+ just fine. AFAIK AMD never changed the hole pattern since AM2.

Thanks for the info! The cooler actually remains unused. I am still wondering what to do with it. I'm thinking of doing a really cheap APU build and giving it to a lucky friend as a gift. Any idea about AM2 vs FM2+ brackets?
