mhhh, seems like i got a little problem,

i got an MSI K7N2 motherboard
(ms-6570 atx mainbord), which supports socket 462 processors,
the Reserator is made for such sockets,
but i took a look at mine, and i don't see the Four little holes that are needed to install the (screws of the) reserator

the heatsink i got on my cpu is with a clipping system,

any way i can install that reserator?

or would i need another motherboard?

thanx,
earworm

A cheaper alternative than a new motherboard is a different water block, one that clips onto the socket lugs, rather than bolting through the board. Take a look at the inner diameter of the tubes included with the Reserator I, then either find a CPU water block with fittings that fit the tubing included with the Reserator I and locks onto the socket, and install that in place of the block included with the Reserator I, or if you can't find any good blocks that fit the tubing directly, buy yourself a nice Swiftech MCW6000A, which is socket-clip mount, then buy two inline tube converters to convert from tubing of the same size as Reserator's to 3/8"ID, allowing you to adapt the MCW6000A to the Reserator.
