Unique-Bargains AMD CPU Fan Mounting Bracket Base Black AM2 AM3 940 Socket 43g

SKU CH-1MNE-QCHHX

Black plastic mounting bracket for AMD AM2, AM3 and 940 socket CPU coolers, weighing 43g

  • Compatible with AM2 and AM3 sockets including 940
  • Black plastic construction keeps the bracket light at 43 g
  • Simple replacement part for worn or broken mounts
  • Secures CPU cooler firmly to the motherboard
  • Single bracket supplied ready to install

Compatible Socket Bracket

This black plastic bracket replaces the stock mounting base for AMD sockets AM2, AM3 and 940. It secures the CPU cooler to the motherboard so the heatsink makes proper contact with the processor. The part weighs 43g and ships as a single bracket with no additional hardware included.

Build Integration

The bracket installs directly onto the motherboard's existing retention mechanism and accepts the original cooler clip. It frees the builder from sourcing a complete cooler when only the plastic base is damaged or missing. No tools beyond a screwdriver are typically required for the swap.

Thermals and Power

The component itself draws no power and adds no active cooling. By restoring firm pressure between heatsink and CPU lid it allows the existing cooler to operate at its rated thermal performance. Noise and temperatures remain unchanged from the cooler's normal specifications.

Questions about this item

Will the plastic bracket hold up under continuous thermal cycling?

The mounting bracket is made of black plastic and weighs 43 g. It is designed as a direct replacement for AM2, AM3 and 940 socket coolers and contains no metal reinforcement.

Does the bracket itself generate any noise or heat during all-day operation?

The bracket is a passive plastic component with no moving parts or electronics, so it produces zero noise and adds no measurable heat to the system.

Which cooler mounting holes must my existing heatsink have to fit this base?

Your current AMD cooler must use the standard AM2, AM3 or 940 mounting pattern; the package includes only the 1 x AMD CPU Fan Bracket Base with no additional hardware.
