Ninja 2 bolt through for AM2/AM2+/AM3

[felix]

Hi,

i noticed that the new Mugen 2 cooler has a bolt through mounting & a backplate, also for AMD sockets.

Is this mounting compatible with Ninja 2 & AM2?
If it is, will it be available separately?
If it is not, is there going to be somtething similar for the Ninja Series & AM2 socket?

(I would like to post compatibility verification of Ninja 2 with my motherboards, but i could locate any relevant thread. Is there any ?)

Hello felix,

for bolt-through mounting of Ninja 2, you cold use the CPU Cooler Stabilizer K8/AM2.

Thank you for your fast response.

K8/AM2 Stabilizer still uses the original retention mechanism. I actually thought of something like the 775 stabilizer (only the way it locks on 775 socket), or the new Mugen 2 mounting type, meaning "true" bolt-through.

Hello felix,

nope it does not, because K8/AM2 stabi is delivered with a completely new retention bracket which is produced of metal.

I see what you mean...It will be more stable than using the OEM plastic mount...and as far as i can see it is supplied with metal backplate, too...nice

What i meant as "original retention mechanism" was this metal clip...you can see the picture i attached

Personally, I prefer having to bolt than using a lever...the Mugen 2 mount seemed nice...

Anyway...i'll try the AM2 Stabilizer
