Heat sink mount broke - what do I do?

kioolt · 12-06-2004, 05:57 PM

My heat sink mount on my Mach Speed motherboard has broken. As it is now only three of the four corners will clamp down. Where can I get a replacement? It seems very easy to find heat sinks and fans but not the part that comes pre-installed on the motherboard. Does anyone have a dead motherboard that they would be willing to remove this part from and let me have it? Any other suggestions?

Or you can do a ebay search for p4 retention bracket.

That's just what I am looking for. I didn't even think about looking on E-bay.
