Confusion on this cooler for Twin Reaper

[Shadowarez]

So I thought this was a Noctua coolerike this first pic but instead is has 4 socket bolts around it and it's bigger then standard 5.5 that's in my I fixit kit. Guessing I'll have to find a long thin socket set it has groove in the cooler for accessing the bolts.

I'm confused what is going on in the pictures. I have an NH-U12DO for G34. The heatsink in the 2nd pic definitely isn't it. I'm pretty sure that is a Hyper 212.

I agree with Lowfat. It also looks like the thumb screws were replaced with a nyloc nut.

I'll get clear pics tonight iv not seen that before or the tool to remove it I'm thinking I'll needa hit up cdn tire or hone depot for a socket set to even remove em. Low fat was right it'd hyper 212's iv not seen that bracket in the last 3ni bought.

Looks like someone made their own brackets, and then used parts of the Hyper212 mounting kit (the silver "X" part, and the heatsink itself), and then bolted it to their custom cut bracket (white part) to make it work. That's janky, but looks like it works. I've done worse

Lol well I just need a proper tool to remove it one of the cpus is a 6360 I bought a new 6380 so there at least identical.

Yea 1/4" socket set on a nice long thin extension would work. Probably a 8mm or 5/16" nut I'd assume

CM Hyper 212+ - Alternative G34 Mounting Method

WARNING: This HSF mounting method is pretty difficult to do. If you choose to do this, please be careful. Here is an alternative to R-Type's CM...

Pretty sure it is this. Although the pics don't work. There are links to the materials used. I remembered this from back in the day. There were almost no G34 heatsinks available.

Box ratchet in right size
or
mini ratchet https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-bit-wrench-set-29-pc-0588626p.html
with a bolt driver in the right size should be able to access that as well

Mini cresent wrench etc would just be asking for trouble
