The item was easy to install and worked perfect after install. I hooked up the heatsink/fan unit and worked great. It was RGB fan I got from buyin my Ryzen 7 3700X CPU with the Wraith Prism RGB heatsink/cooler. It fit perfectly on the bracket and is now cooling my CPU and it has RBG by using the USB cable that hooks from a socket on the heatsink case. It hooks to a USB hookup on your motherboard. (you use one of the same hookups to hookup the USB on the front of your computer case. And you download the softwar to make it work. Works nice. So I now also have a RGB lighting inside the case beside the fans. :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Gets the job done, factory fit. *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019* Bought because the mounting bracket tabs (blue part in this product) broke on my kid's CPU cooler. Didn't have to pull the whole thing, these tabs are a factory fit to the original plate. Made swapping over a snap. Feels nice and solid. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fits AM3+ socket M5A97 board *by H***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020* Had to use this to install a cooler on a used Asus M5A97 LE R2.0.I purchased the board to use as a server, and it came installed with a steel backplate and raised bolts that looked like it was for a waterblock.Needless to say, a standard AMD Socket air cooler wouldn't mount to that, so this turned out to be the perfect candidate for reverting to stock.Installation was a breeze. After removing the motherboard from the case just remove the screws from this bracket put the black backplate behind the motherboard with the threaded shafts seated into the bracket mounting holes on the PCB. Hold the backplate in place and set the blue brackets on top and thread the included screws through the blue brackets and the PCB into the backplate. Don't over-tighten since its just plastic, should hold fine.I only just installed the cooler today, so I can't speak to the actual longevity. It looks like it should hold up, hopefully I won't need to update this review in the future. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/46278216-fan-bracket-cpu-retention-mounting-black-plastic-amd-stand-base](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/46278216-fan-bracket-cpu-retention-mounting-black-plastic-amd-stand-base) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
