Hey guys this isn't Austin.

Talking seriously, I bought an optiplex 755 motherboard to build a budget pc. I thought a normal 775 cooler would fit, but for my surprise it won't.
So I don't know what to do. There is any mod that I can do on a 775 or AMD cooler to make it fit on the motherboard? Or a TX3 EVO/any other custom cooler would fit on this mobo?

Thx a lot and I'm sorry if I made any mistakes, English is not my native language.
 
The Optiplex you have is a Micro BTX form factor with proprietary Dell features like the front header I/O cable. It will be hard to use outside of it's original case. The cooler you need is D9729, and buy it with the plstic cover if you don't have that already. You will also need a120x38mm Dell 755 fan with a 4 wire 5 pin connector . Again with the plastic mounting cage which mates up to the other one. if you must do this you will need the 755 front panel board, and the 755 cable to connect it . The start switch, and air temperature sensor are there so it wont run without it. Many other things also.
