Hello,
I'm building a computer with a motherboard that was given to me, It has a P4-478 socket and I have a heatsink and fan but I don't have the clasps that hold everything down. Also I'm not even sure what the technical name is for it. but if you want to see what it looks like you can go to PartsPC.com and under there 478 heatsink page there is a Dynatron (D22) and that looks very much like what I've got. I just wondered where a guy would buy this and exactly what it's called? Thank's for any help!

Hi, you need a Socket 478 Heatsink Retention Module bracket & clips. Or is it maybe just the clips you need?
Does your heatsink have the clips?
Just google for a local PC parts store, and they should have some, or try e-bay.

Ebay and look up 478 cpu brakets. Lots of em and cheap. There are two different kinds. Up to you which one you like. I personally like the ones with the under support but more spendy.
