WTB Spring Clip for Heatsink

[michaelclay67]

Are these for sale anywhere or am I stuck buying an entire heatsink
with spring clip. One of the 2 "fingers" broke on the 2 piece spring
clip holding the huge heatsink/fan down on my socket A AMD Athlon XP
3000+ CPU. Happened during transport, so the PC was not running to fry
the CPU.

Thanks,

I don't know where you can get these. Why not contact the manufacturer
of the heatsink? Hopefully they will help you out.

Do you really want to use a repaired heat sink clamp ? Generally you
don't find a heat sink clamps in computer stores add shipping costs and
you could have a new cpu hs w\ fan.

Perhaps something cheap is available on Ebay

Maybe you could get a cheap HSF and cannibalize it for parts. Thermaltake
has a new brand T2 or TT2 or something. Lots of HSF for under $15 and some
under $10
