3D Printer creates LGA115X-compatible mount for clip-on AMD heatsinks

[WYP]

Need to reuse an old CPU cooler? 3D Printing could be the answer.



Read more about 3D printers making Intel motherboards compatible with AMD clip-on CPU coolers.

That's bloody clever.

The ingenuity of people with a need and a 3D printer never ceases to amaze/please me

I don't know why would anyone need such a thing but it is nice to see clever ideas. It is not a complicated design where a 3D printer would have an advantage. CNC would probably do it much faster. I don't know about the cost.

I thought the same. Great ingenuity but not really necessary unless you swapped from AMD to Intel and lacked the mount/cooler

The more I hear about this 3D printer guy the more I like him.
