Yes, there are well-known plastic cooler parts that are infamous.
You should probably learn how to install the cooler. You didn't have that side in right. You had it on the edge and it broke. The mounts and heatsinks are fine you just didn't install it right. I mean it happens but why blame the cooler when it's user error. Those brackets take quite a bit of force to break and or crack. So anyone who has installed one would of felt how tight that was and remounted. User error that's all it is.
The plastic likely had a flaw causing weakness. It should work with an AM3+ bracket after a little drilling to match the screw holes. Always expect PRIME Now delivery—you're really unlucky!
I've placed numerous AMD coolers using this type of mount recently, and this unit performed well. I noticed the mark on the broken piece, confirming the clip was positioned correctly. It's clear the internet has a lot to offer, but after over 25 years assembling computers and building more than 50 systems, I'm sure I could install a cooler myself. I double-checked everything before powering it on.
Yeah. Mmhmmmm. Keep blaming the cooler. The cooler had absolutely nothing to do with it. And when you have to list off your "credentials" it just confirms it. You blame the heatsink. Well it's not the heatsink. It has nothing to do with it lol. Again basic system builder stuff here Cheap mobo, cheap am4 bracket. I never seen a soft bracket but I don't use cheap boards. Even then they don't break unless you have that clip on the outside of the mount and crank it down. Cracked am4 bracket. Can happen. Random Mass produced crap plastic. Keep tension on that with a small crack, thermal cycles and it breaks. Again not the heatsink. Most likely and pretty clear what Happened. Clip for the heatsink was not seated right. It was sitting on the edge and not "keyed" into it's spot. Put it on that little extra plastic at the edge puts a few more lb's of force pulling on the edge. Time, heat cycles it breaks. Like I said. It happens. Mounting it on that little edge happens more then most people think. I bet a large number of people who put the heatsink in why the mobo was in the PC and did it sideways have it mounted like this. I never seen that part break. It's not a big deal it happens no need and try to make it look like you have the only am4 heatsink in existence that is so put of spec it snaps a mount lol. If you need a AM4 mount let me know. I got about 30 sets of them. I'll send you a set. It sucks but who cares. It's a part that's cheap and anyone who water cools will give you one. Of you want one just sende message I'll send you a set. Hell if you pay for shipping I'll sent you a brand new wrath prism. I got a ton of those laying around to.
It's incorrect; you must verify base temperatures first before finalizing
They incorporated an AM4 support into the 212 evo box. I continued purchasing Hyper T4s because they matched the existing adapter connection.
