AMD AM2 / AM3 Fan Retainer Bracket

This black plastic bracket replaces the original retention module for AMD AM2 and AM3 sockets. It secures the CPU cooler to the motherboard so the heatsink maintains proper contact with the processor. The part weighs 45g and includes one bracket base. It is a direct mechanical replacement for a broken or missing clip.

For AMD AM2 or AM3 Socket Repairs

This bracket suits anyone restoring or maintaining a motherboard that uses the AM2 or AM3 mounting pattern. It will not fit newer AM4, AM5, TR4 or Intel LGA sockets because the hole spacing and locking mechanism differ. Buyers needing a bracket for a different platform should look for the matching retention kit for that socket.

AM2 / AM3 Socket Compatibility

The only specification that determines fit is the socket designation: this bracket is made for AMD AM2 and AM3. If the motherboard uses either of those sockets, the bracket matches the mounting holes and locking tabs. Any other socket requires a different retention module.

Questions about this item

Which bracket version fits my AMD socket?

This bracket is made for AMD AM2 and AM3 sockets, so choose it if your motherboard uses either of those two sockets.

What does the 45 g weight mean once installed?

At 45 g the plastic bracket adds negligible mass to the cooler assembly and will not stress the motherboard mounting points.

What mounting standard does this bracket use and what does it limit?

It follows the AMD AM2/AM3 retention‑frame layout, so it only works with coolers designed for that hole pattern.
