HS/F clips for FIC VG61 Ice Cube

[kaos kid]

I got this HS/F with a barebones P4 VG61 Ice Cube but the clips were missing.
The heatsink has two side ledges so it appears that the clips should be a simple
affair that just attaches to the standard P4 mobo bracket by clamping over the
ledges. FIC no longer even has this barebones in their archives so they are no help
(old link for manual and specs just sends me to a page with a few lines in chinese and
no other links). Does anyone recognize this hs/f to know where I can get clips
compatible for it? It appears that I may be able to use zip ties, but I would rather have a clip
assembly for easier install/de-installs and tighter fit. Thanks for any help you can give.

Is the mounting on the motherboard standard socket 478? If it is, then you can just get a replacement heatsink that is low profile enough to fit (such as a stock unit).

Can you post pictures of the motherboard so we can see how it mounts?

BTW you may want to put a return between each image so that it isn't all horizontal. Makes it easier to read.

do yourself a favor and just replace it.

You will probably end up paying more money on mounts, then a new sink after shipping.

Should work nice.

It is a SFF cube and I only have around 2 1/2" of clearance to the bottom of the drive cage.
It is indeed the standard Skt 478 mounting bracket, so I just need the clips.
I did find a used (and fugly) all aluminum hsf at my local shop for $5,
but I had hoped to use this one because it looks really cool and because
of the copper in the base giving me better cooling. It is this case:

Hey, it's a FNW Fragbox!

I saw reference to that name when I googled the mobo, but no luck with finding any other useful info on it. The only info I could find calls it an FIC Ice Cube... I got the case and mobo/hsf as an afterthought because I bought some old stuff from a local business that was liquidating. The guy sold me 2 Antec Minuet cases w/ 220w PSUs still in the boxes for $20 each and he threw in this FIC ice cube just to be nice. It is missing its power supply as well as the hsf clips but I have a small psu that I am making a bracket for so it will fit (the case is drilled for 4 mounting holes with 5" between the horizontal holes and 3" vertically so it seems easier to just modify a psu I already have than to try to find one with those exact measurements in the mounting holes).
