Anybody know where i can buy a cheap socket 478 retention bracket ?

[foolish501]

Just found out that sister in law's pc has been freezing every few minutes because one of the clips on the socket 478 retention bracket is broken, so it's only being held on 3 corners.

Anybody know a good website that sells them cheap ?

I have a spare I'll give you for free if you pay the postage. I'll mail it, find out the cost, and you can pay after that. LMK if you need snail mail or expedited. Shoot me a PM. You can find them cheap on Ebay too, type "478 retention" in the search area. I saw them there for $5 shipped.

I need a couple, too! j/k

I actually have a few spares around here, too. That was very nice of you to offer. :thumbsup:

I kind of feel sorry for people that use Intel so I like to help them out whenever possible (jk of course) I've been an intel user the past few years and just made the switch to A64...

One other source is KDComputers.com, they carry an aluminum one that was $4 last I saw. It also features lugs for SocketA/Socket370 clip-down heatsinks too
