LF: Stock Intel 775 heatsink mounting pins.

[paintstikker]

I broke two of the white plastic snap-pins on a stock 775 Intel cooler so it won't seat and the computer powers down a couple seconds after powering up. Right now the cooler is zip-tied to the motherboard.

I've been thinking about getting a new cooler but I have more important things to get so if anybody has the mounting pins or knows where to find them please let me know.

Thanks,
Brendan

I've long since thrown mine out, but my suggestion is to do away entirely with those push pins, and instead use this:

It's a metal backplate with steel spring-loaded screws to keep heatsinks attached much more securely than plastic pushpins.
That's the same place I got mine from. Unfortunately, it requires you take your motherboard out to install, but I think it's worth it. You might want to take a look into that if you don't have luck getting more pushpins.

Thanks for the link, I'll keep it in mind if I don't end up with any of the plastic pins.
