## Description

AM2/3 Socket Retention Mounting Bracket Kit AMD AM2, AM3 Motherboard Yellow

Review: Works as advertised - Product works well. Seems solid. Just need to affix the back plate to the backside of the motherboard (may need to remove the other case panel to do this). The front plate secures around the socket on the face of the motherboard, screws into the back plate. Instructions were not clear.
Review: Worked great for FX8350 install - Worked great when I switched my FX8350 build to a new chassis that my Evo 212 wouldn't fit in. I bought a shorter cooler and realized that I didn't have the stock mounting hardware for the CPU. My local MicroCenter didn't have this bracket in stock, but desertcart got it to me in 1 day!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good price but breaks easily if not careful!
*by T***T on June 11, 2016*

Pretty good for the price. I am actually having to order my second one though because the first one broke. It hasn't been quite a year since I installed the old one. The little plastic pieces that hold the fan to the motherboard are not very strong so depending on your CPU and fan weight/size this may not be a good fit. Just something to keep in mind!
