So im upgrading from an a8 cpu on the MS-7778 mobo and I bought an i5 3570 and an optiplex 790 mobo, all I need is a fan, but the ones made for it do not come with the retention brackets if I were to buy them(They are screw in fans with 5 pin connectors). My question is, can I use my MS-7778s retention bracket(which also uses a visually similar heatsink, only difference is the 4 pin connector) with the heatsink made for the mobo(lga 1155)? From what i've seen online is that the brackets/socket are the same dimensions as the intel brackets/socket(My MS-7778 is NOT using the standard AMD brackets, its a square shape), but im not sure.
Also better yet, could I just use the heatsink from my MS-7778 on the LGA1155 mobo? only difference is that my original heatsink fan has a 4 pin connector, and the new mobo/heatsink both use 5 pin. Or should I just buy a stock intel cooler(the pin ones that dont need to be screwed in)
sorry if my writing is bad/hard to read. any response is appreciated.
