Its funny seeing "X79"with "C602 chipset"

But FWIW those circular mounts for using cheap AM3+/AM3/AM2+ CPU Coolers actually work pretty well. I have some for my Narrow Socket LGA 2011/2011-3 on two of my boards at home, which freed me up from the extremely poor selection of Narrow 2011 coolers out there.

If you get one, let us all know how it turns out!
