When I originally set up my A7V + Durn 650 (@800), I used a Golden Orb (Socket A type) [don't start. I know they're hell on the MB and processor!], as it was availabe, inexpensive, and cooled OK.

Well, I decided to upgrade to a GW FOP32. I removing the Orb, I also removed the retention tab on the socket (processor is OK). The net is, I now have a perfectly good MB, with out a good way to attach my heat sink.

Does anybody have any (relatively simple & cheap[!], please) idea for getting the FOP32 secured?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you could mod your clip so it somehow attached to the 2 other tabs on the CPU socket.

Yeah, that's the best bet. I'm trying come up with a good way doing, though.

Perhaps some sort of crossbar the goes under the other two tab, with a hook in the central position. :disgust:
