AM2 kit for Big Typhoon

Is there such a thing? I've spent some time on google to no avail. They have a "mini typhoon" with the option for AM2 support, but I have a $50 cooler sitting here doing nothing since I can't mount it on my AM2 board
All I need is a different set of mounting plates :bawling:

1. Wait and see if a kit comes out for using the Big Typhoon on AM2.
2. Mod the beast and make it fit on the AM2 socket holes (risky but potentially rewarding - this could have good article value on the front page ).
3. Sell it and get something AM2 compatible.
On the positive side, I'd say that the AM2 retention system is superior to the 754/939 socket. 4-way bolt systems are a huge improvement over the predecessor.
Also, do the hrm mounting holes match any other socket's spacing, likesocket 478 or socket 775? If they do, then you could simply use the mounting hardware for the spacers that would work for you.
This could be done as well.
... then use some rubberband?
LOL.. (or duct tape) must be a canadian thing)
Here's a link to the review. Look on page 3 and they show it mounted to a socket AM2 board.
this kind of stuff bugs the heck out of me.
Tell that to Marcus who came from NORWAY
does that help out at all?
but leo you are right...it is made for a different company
