I just bought a coolermaster 212 EVO CPU fan and on the box it says "AM4 ready" But everywhere I'm seeing it says I need an upgrade kit to mount the fan on the CPU successfully.

The manual for AMD is not helpful at all.The mounting just states "AMD" and not the chipset type for each mounting procedure. I received all these mounting brackets with the cooler but not sure which one to use?

Was wondering if anyone had experience with this before I tear apart my CPU and fan to find I don't have the right bracket.

Put the 2 original plastic things back on the motherboard that you took off, and then...

Yeah, but I don't have that criss-cross looking mounting bracket, so do I need to order it?
