Hiya peeps - please forgive me if this is a silly question, I am new to PC building.
I was given an NZXT Kraken X52 water cooler, although I cannot find after hours of searching through the net, if it is compatible with my motherboard.
I have a Gigabyte F2A68HM-DS2, which has a FM2/FM2+ socket (i think), the Kraken x52 supposedly supports FM2+. However, the retention bracket that came with the Kraken x52 doesn't seem to fit my motherboard at all. I found that I can purchase retention brackets - I'm yet to find one for FM2+ but found one for AM4 which looks like what I need.
Can anyone confirm whether I need a different cooler, or if I can just buy a retention bracket? Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
