CPU mounts

[Dr_Weasel]

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement CPU mount? Google is failing me.

My PC made an odd noise this morning and then switched its self off. I removed the side of the case to find that the CPU Heatsink had fallen off!

On closer inspection the plastic mount screwed onto the motherboard has snapped 2 lugs off one side

I presume the mounts are standard, but its a Socket 939, Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe mobo.

I dont think ive ever seen the mounts sold separately unless you go for something like the vapo chills.

Or Maplin

They'll just be standard PCB mounts. If you can't find the exact replacement, get something similar, a hacksaw, and a tube of superglue.

I sell you my abit one, I had to replace it when I bought a big typhoon, it's nearly brand new.

Thanks for the kind offer. I had just found the magic google words though, which are "Heatsink Retention Bracket" and just bought one off ebay for 4 quid.
