Anyone know of a heatsink/fan combo that uses those 4 holes on the mobo around the CPU socket?

The plastic bits that the Heatsink clip onto have worn out. So am left with one option.

It's a 1ghz P3 using @ 133mhz FSB (quite a rarity these days)

557652 2007-06-09 12:56:00 That is quite a rarity for a s370 cpu. I've got a couple of standard heatsink/fan combos lying around, but no ones that use the other holes you're speaking of sorry. roddy_boy (4115)
557653 2007-06-09 14:12:00 have you considered looping some rubber bands through the holes and over the heatsink?:D motorbyclist (188)

557655 2007-06-09 23:03:00 rubber bands proberly won't get it tight enought.

i think the old alpha heatsinks where screw mounted. check out OCNZ forums, mayby someone has something still.

557656 2007-06-10 07:22:00 well get really strong rubber bands:D

and maybe some glue, or chewing gum and blutack :lol:

now seriously, i'm no expert on the older heatsinks, but with a bit of sticky thermal paste rubber bands would do the trick. just don't drop/knock the computer too often.... (i'm assuming the heatsink is reasonably light)
