Wanted - Socket 478 Heatsink Retainer Bracket

[Adywebb]

Guys and Gals, I was wondering if anyone here could have a rummage around their spares boxes and old Socket 478 motherboards for a heatsink motherboard retainer bracket.

Its the plastic bracket that attaches to the motherboard that the heatsink clips attach too:

Any help would be much appreciated

If it's the bracket that holds Pentium 3Ghz CPU's from about 4 years ago I may have one.

Don't get too hopeful though, I'll have to check, and I'm moving house atm as well so it's a little hectic here.

I will look asap though.

PS: I'll be offline for a week from Friday as I move but you have my mobile number. If you no heard from me by Monday, call me.

Yep thats the one Flops - for the old P4 socket 478 CPU's.


Good luck with the move

Okey doke.

Reason I may have one is I built my mate's computer (Intel 3Ghz) in 2004 and broke that bracket.

I ordered one from E-Bay, got a nice fella for a seller who sent me four brackets and I still have the remaining 3 of them, so I shall check asap.

Thanks for the link Waynos - was going to see if someone here could find one and pop it in the post for me first.

Oh bugger bugger bugger

I completely forgot about this amidst all the hullaballoo of moving house.

Sorry.

Do you still need one?

 

[Adywebb]

No problem Flops - I know how disruptive house moving is...I'm in the middle of one myself at the moment


Managed to source one from Kustom PC's

Me? Not far, I now live looking down on Greenwich railway station/Docklands light railway.

Prior to that I was a stone's throw from the Woolwich Ferry for the past 5.5 years.
