I've got a P4 box, my main box, where the frame for the CPU heat sink
broke off, and I'm wondering if it's possible to get replacements for
that. If you have a P4, you know it's about the size of a 386 CPU, but
on top of it sits this massive heatsink/fan block. At least on mine,
there are two steel tension clips that clip to a plastic framework and
hold the heatsink/fan down onto the CPU. That plastic framework is about
an inch to an inch-and-a-half tall, with four plastic "posts" which the
spring clips can hook to. Well, the end of one of the posts broke off,
and the heatsink/fan came off.
Right now, I've got a string of four zip ties holding the fan down on
that side. But I'm wondering if anyone's ever heard of this problem, and
if a new plastic frame gizmo can be had to replace the old one. Anyone know?
