The solution to your issue is most likley answered here: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Z210-aftermarket-cooler/td-p/5660217

I have not worked with that particular motherboard, but have used Cooler Master Hyper RR-212E-20PK-R2 in a handful of systems with success. Comes with mounting bracket that is adjustable and fits a wide array of socket types because of the adjustable bracket.

Make sure your case had enough height though. Probably does.

Yup already looked to that... the thing is that im ok considering clearance cause i have my system in a s340 elite the thing is that i want the screws to align with the mobo holes. The 1155 socket has a rectangular mounting hole type so the holes form a perfect square. My mobo has the holes in a rectangular orientation simirarly to am2 socket i think... my concern is that i will end up with a cooler that cant fit my proprietary mobo holes or i will have to mcgyver an adaptor or something and it will look awful...
