Plastic mounting snaps to hold on HSF like you see with video cards. Where do you get them for CPU HSF?

[Conundrum]

Hey,

This is the only solution that's going to work for my problem. Anyone know of a place that sells these little buggars? The only time I've used them were when I purchased an HSF for my GPU. Anyone know of a place that sells just the little clip-in plastic mounting things for a regular screw hole size in a mobo?

what kind of heatsink?

The second CPU is retail from Newegg that came with stock HSF solution. The original processor came with the HSF solution that Dell put on it when it was built. I still need to clean off all of the excess goo they slapped on the HSF/proc and put some Artic Silver on it...

There are four mounting holes in the corners around each ZIF socket that are used for the plastic mounting. I believe they're identical to what you'd see with a normal P4.

I'd like to know too; when I change out a n/bridge heatsink OR a video heatsink I sweat that I'm going to have to cut these guys and not get a replacement so UP.

Yeah, I'm hoping someone will have an answer. I'm going to bump it.

Last resort bump... finding plastic clips for those mounting holes would make my life so much easier!!!
