## Summary description

The Alphacool 12968 retention bracket is designed for LGA 3647 and TR4 processor sockets. It features a durable black finish and ensures secure mounting of cooling systems. Ideal for enhancing the stability and performance of your computer cooling setup.

## Long description

The Alphacool 12968 retention bracket Black LGA 3647 TR4 is a mounting accessory designed to secure CPU water cooling solutions to high‑performance server and workstation sockets. Manufactured with a durable black finish, the bracket is compatible with Intel LGA 3647 and AMD TR4 processor sockets and provides a stable interface between the processor socket and compact water coolers such as the Eisblock XPX Pro 1U. This bracket adapts the cooler’s mounting to fit square and standard contact patterns used in dense rack and workstation environments.
Advantages
The bracket offers reliable mechanical support that reduces movement of the cooler and maintains consistent contact pressure across the CPU heat spreader. Its black coating improves corrosion resistance and integrates visually with common server hardware. The design enables secure attachment of compact 1U‑compatible water blocks while preserving airflow and connector orientation options.
Suitable for
 Mounting CPU water blocks on Intel LGA 3647 sockets
 Mounting CPU water blocks on AMD TR4 sockets
 Server and workstation cooling setups with compact 1U‑compatible water blocks
 Systems requiring stable mechanical retention for liquid CPU coolers

How to use
Position the retention bracket over the processor socket so that it aligns with the socket mounting points.
