Plastic Clips found on Intel HSF LGA 775

[nicepun]

I would like to know if anyone knows a place where I buy this stuff. I'm talking four clips (black and white thingies) that are use to hold down the HSF. Thanks.

Alright! Thanks.

I love push-pins: easy, in-case, and consistent mounting (with decent pressure as long as the manu doesn't make the bracket loose [Thermaltake!])....but they aren't unbreakable like my comb. Fortunately they're cheap :)

And you're welcome :)

I cant say the same for myself, although they are very easy to install i find that after continued use ive had more instances where they have popped out after making secure that they were securely mounted. :down:

I love the case, but damn, it's one of those things you don't want to toy with once you're done putting it together.

Hold down/mounting bracket for my Alphacool NexXxos XP waterblock and the Intel LGA775 HSF. Ordered three. The ones from the bracket are somewhat worn out and every now and then they keep popping out when I start tightening the bolt.

They pop out? Non-sense! :ROTF: Ill tell you, nothing beats a good old back plate and screws

I know, but the only good hold down plate that I know will fit this waterblock it's not available here. 1A-Cooling (german company) which I think just bit the dust.

I bet it doesn't take you that long anymore....:rofl: And if does then something is wrong...........:shrug: I'm not going to lie, it took me a while the first time to learn how to use these darn push pins but now I'm a master....:lsfight:

Heh, no wonder you need a drink after that.

Twist, Twist, Twist, Twist. Push, Push, Push, Push. Now try removing it :mad:

They NEVER pop out if you have them twisted with the arrow to the sink first.

They do pop out if they are A) used very often (wear and tear) B) if they are not fully extended, which you can tel by looking at the underside of the board, the black part should be at the same height as the white plastic holding onto the backside of th emotherboard (black part pushes through the middle of these two parts)

My TTBTvx's mounting bracket doesn't apply enough pressure for it to go pop :lol:

My Infinity is just right though....great pressure, but it doesn't pop out easily either (one pin broke after 17 mounts, the other three are still *decent*)

this little xigmatek cooler im using now puts WAY to much pressure on the push pins, even with them securely installed, they pop right out after 5 minutes, the board actually has so much of a bend i was worried it was gona snap, i actually epoxyed the pins on the back of the board temporarily while i use it so that i dont have to worry about it coming loose in the case.
