Hey,
I have a unique problem. It seems as though I don't have any mounting holes in the case I have for this motherboard. It's a dual xeon board and it has 8 big fat holes in it for you to fit the mounting brace for the HSF over the ZIF socket. What I was hoping to find is someplace that sells those plastic mounting clips like you see used on video cards... for the GPU etc. Not sure if they make them for the size of hole I need... the bottom portion would have to unfold BIG time for it to grip the underside of the mobo. Either way, if I can't do that then I need some recommendations for thermal paste to hold the HSF to the CPU... the best one. I'm thinking that would be Arctic Silver... but ideally I'd like to have something for the brace to hold it to the board that doesn't require screws.
Thanks!
