Aurora R9, replacing OEM CPU fan with AM, using stock bracket
So I am replacing all my fans on my R9. I am swapping the OEM CPU fan with a Cool Master 212. I really don't want to take the motherboard out to switch the bracket. I am wondering if all CPU cooler brackets are universal? Will the OEM bracket fit with my Cool Master 212? Thanks in advance!

Isn't the Hyper 212 heatsink like 160mm high? The R9 is a SFF case. You need something under around 70mm (with fan) just to close the case. Smaller to allow airflow.
