Hi folks,
I have just received a package containing my new ASRock Z270 Pro4 motherboard, along with an i5-7600K and 2x8GB 2400 RAM. I am very excited to try this new gear out. However, when I tried to transplant my CPU cooling - Corsair H55 - from my old rig to my new one, with the ASRock, I found that the metal bracket holding down the copper part of the cooler does not fit the motherboard's screw holes. The board is an 1151 one, and the cooler is explicitly said to support that. Instead, the holes on the board are in a square arrangement, probably suited for pushpin fans. Am I going to have to buy a new cooler?
