Broke intel heatsink fasteners

[coder_t2]

So I was replacing the motherboard for my C2D and I broke the plastic heatstink clips for my Freezer 7 Pro. Is there any place that I can buy replacement heatsink clips? Thanks

those fasteners are cheap, if you bend them they'll never seat securely again. They'll pull off with a few lbs of force or less.
I suggest replacing with a bolt thru kit.

I second this recommendation. Just find a socket 775 bolt-thru kit and you'll be set.

Looks pretty good. Hope this thing isn't a pain to work with. Thanks.

Do you have the original Intel heatsink? You might be able to repurpose the push pins from it.

I'm actually using it in a different rig. Last time I removed the push pins, I remember it being a huge pain. I'd probably just end up breaking them off of the intel one.
