Unique-Bargains AMD AM2 AM3 FM1 FM2 FM2+ CPU Fan Heatsink Bracket Holder Black

SKU CH-5H43-1KRTM

Plastic mounting bracket replaces a broken AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2/FM2+ socket heatsink retainer, securing the cooler to the motherboard backplate

  • Compatible with AMD AM2 940 socket motherboards
  • Replaces a broken heatsink bracket to secure the CPU
  • Plastic construction directs weight to the backplate
  • Easy installation with 11 x 8 x 2.5 cm dimensions
  • Bracket base only — CPU fan not included

Compatible AMD Socket Bracket

This plastic mounting bracket fits AMD AM2, AM3, FM1, FM2 and FM2+ sockets. It secures a CPU heatsink to the motherboard so the processor stays cool. The part is intended for system builders or repair technicians who need a direct replacement for a missing or damaged retention frame.

Replaces Broken Retention Frame

The bracket replaces the original AM2 940 socket mounting hardware when the stock clips snap or the back-plate goes missing. Swapping it in restores proper heatsink pressure without buying a new motherboard. It is not for builders who need a complete cooler assembly, because the fan and heatsink are not included.

Simple Screw-On Installation

The bracket measures 11 x 8 x 2.5 cm and screws onto the existing motherboard mounting holes. No special tools are required beyond a standard Phillips driver. The most common issue is mis-aligning the plastic tabs with the socket outline, which prevents the heatsink from seating flat.

Questions about this item

What are the dimensions of the bracket so I can check clearance around the socket?

The bracket measures 11 x 8 x 2.5 cm (4.3 x 3 x 1 inches L×W×H), so verify that nearby components allow this footprint.

How does the bracket attach to the motherboard, and what is the common mistake?

It uses the standard AM2 940 mounting holes; the frequent error is overtightening the plastic posts, which can crack the bracket.

When should I consider replacing this bracket?

Replace it if the plastic clips snap, the bracket warps from heat, or the heatsink develops noticeable play on the socket.
