Anybody have a spare CPU cooler retention bracket for the Intel Socket 775 motherboards?

Like what? The standard design is just the push through pins.

Really? All the coolers I've seen use screws to mount them to like an X bracket on the back. Guess I'll go look around Razz

Thermalright sells screw mount brackets for their coolers and I think Scythe still does as well.

And Swiftech just started selling a LG775 screw down backplate for their water blocks that can easily modded (shorter screws) to fit most standard HSF.

What cooler brand is the key question?!?

It was a CoolerMaster cooler, don't remember the model. I ended up working it out, and put on the extra CoolerMaster Mars cooler I had Grin

Got it all built and set up. Just need to install the OS and begin testing Smile

Thanks sbrehm, I'll have to get one of those in case I need it in the future.
