Replacement Bracket for AMD AM2 940 Sockets

This two-piece plastic bracket replaces a broken heatsink mounting bracket on motherboards using the AMD AM2 940 socket. It secures the CPU and heatsink so the cooler can function correctly. The package contains only the bracket base; the CPU fan itself is not included. It is intended for repair or maintenance of existing socket AM2 940 systems.

Socket Compatibility Limits

Builders working with other AMD socket types or Intel platforms cannot use this part. It addresses only the mounting interface; it does not change thermal design power limits or cooler clearance rules defined by the motherboard.

Lightweight Plastic Construction

Each bracket weighs 85 grams and measures 11 by 8 by 2.5 centimetres (4.3 by 3 by 1 inches). The yellow plastic moulding transfers the cooler weight toward the rear mounting points for stable retention. As an accessory-only item, it assumes the builder already has a compatible fan and heatsink ready for installation.

Questions about this item

Which socket type should I pick for my AMD motherboard?

The bracket fits AM2, AM3, FM1, FM2 and FM2+ sockets, so choose the one that matches your motherboard's socket designation.

What does the 940 in the AM2 940 listing mean for my build?

It identifies the 940-pin AM2 socket used by certain AMD processors; the bracket aligns with that pin layout for a secure mount.

How does the plastic bracket attach to the standard AMD mounting holes?

It uses the existing AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2/FM2+ hole pattern on the motherboard, letting you screw the heatsink down without a back-plate.
