DELETE - Supermicro BKT-0051L-H LGA1151 Heatsink Mounting Bracket

[ere109]

Long story short, I'm looking for Supermicro mounting bracket BKT-0051L-H.
I've just purchased an X11 LGA1151 motherboard and would like to re-use a 4U active heatsink for an X9 board I already have. Supermicro uses the same 4U active heatsink for both units, but with a different mounting bracket. The LGA1151 uses BKT-0051L-H. Does anyone have one laying in a parts bin? It is the metal adapter plate with the four screws:

The above picture is the official LGA1151 heatsink (SNK-P0051AP4). I'd prefer to avoid wasting a perfectly good heastink for lack of a simple four-screw bracket. Anyone have one of these laying in a drawer or bin?

i have a complete SNK-P0051AP4 laying in my parts bin.
but the parts bin is located in the EU.

Fair enough. Thanks for checking in. I struggle with the amount of e-waste the world produces.

I would call Supermicro and see if they have a spare bracket they can just send you--sometimes it happens!

I too agree that there is too much usable stuff being e-wasted for no good reason.

Thanks. I've been in contact with them all week - they don't carry it through the store, and the tech support department only said it's not available. I'll keep watching.

are you sure your X9 system uses the SNK-P0051AP4 just with LGA2011 brackets ?
there is the SNK-P0050AP4 with Square&Narrow ILM brackets.
i have both of them and the BKT-0051L-H bracket from the SNK-P0051AP4 does NOT fit the SNK-P0050AP4.

Thanks for that! So the bottom mating surface is different between the two heat-sinks? From the pictures I'd found online, it looked like it was the exact same heatsink, and just a different mounting brackets. Got a picture or can you confirm?

Thank you.

they are similar but not same. 2 of the 4 threads/screws are wrong placed.
edit: and the CPU/IHS height is different.

 

[RolloZ170]

see yourself

maybe you can make it fit with a drill. but you need then a copper plate to adust the height issue.

Thank you. Then this thread is now defunct and I simply need to get a SNK-P0051AP4 .
