Need "Brackets" for my thermaltake Heatsink I removed my Zalman Heatsink from my old computer before I upgraded and the plastic pieces broke off. I'm trying to find a replacement for them but I do not know of the name of the cooler, or the piece that connects to the heatsink, maybe you peeps can help me out. What are the metal "legs" called?
maybe take a better photo so we can see which heatsink it is so we can find a name. are you sure its a zalman? cos the heatpipe to heatsink setup doesnt look like the cnps9900 or cnps9700 as they heatsinks are in different positions. so far, all i can tell is its a thermaltake going by the Tt lettering on the brackets. looks like a thermaltake v1? http://www.thermaltake.com.au/Products/Cooler/CL-P0401/V1.aspx
Do 1336 Heatsinks fit in 1156 boards? http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/store/Product.aspx?C=1020&SC=1076&ID=1489 seems the be the only thing I cant find..
nope. not unless the board allows for it. 1156/1155 cpus use a separate bracket. although asrock boards will handle 775 coolers on some boards, so if your heatsink came with a 775 bracket, you can use it.
I only bought it back in October the black bracket that attaches to the mobo just has three holes now so you slot the pin in the hole that lines up with your mobo [socket]
