WTB: Heatsink retention clip for socket 754

[moeman]

Not sure what it's called, or where in the city you can buy them, but I need to pick up one of those black, square things that your heatsink clips onto for a socket 754 (or possibly even a 939) cpu. I think it's the same thing for both.

If you have one to spare, let me know. If you know where to buy them, I'd appreciate the info.

Thanks.

can u use a 939 one? coz im pretty sure that there will be a little or no difference at all

sorry didnt read your whole post, yah i have a oem heatsink unused so just pm me a price

I don't need the heatsink. I've got two of those. I need the black retention clip that the heatsink attaches to the motherboard with. I RMA'd my board and forgot to pull it off before sending it so now I can't attach the heatsink. I can always go buy a Zalman ALCU7000 for $30 that comes with all the pieces you need, but I'd rather just put the stock one back on as it works fine for what I use it for.

So I'm still looking for that piece :( . If I don't find one here, it's off to the computer shops tomorrow to ask for one they might have on a dead board.

This is what it looks like from the top. I also need the backing plate that sits underneath the board.

Found one, thanks. Wouldn't mind a spare if you're looking to get rid of it though.
