CM scout accesories..need help!

Assassin_012 · 23 Jun 2010 at 19:28

ok

i was building my PC with a friend...and when i put the graphics card in the motherboard, i had to clip it into place (with that plastic clip at the back of the case for graphics cards).

afterwards i had to remove the graphics card for some cable management.

BUT! that tool less plastic clip snaped...because i had to force the clip in place.

the case came with 1 extra spare clip...but i can see that 2 other clips are about to break... and i need a few more extras

can any tell me where to get them?

You can get them here m8 http://www.coolermaster.nl/shop/

Like I've been saying all along... plastic isn't material for such places.

Make sure you get right ones, there are more than one types of those toolless PCI clips (those are keywords) in there.
Scout is from same serie as Sniper so logically it should use same clips but check picture.

Isnt there usually a screwhole where the clip is aswel just incase it breaks? I swear i saw that on one of the CM cases...

Assassin_012 · 24 Jun 2010 at 01:05

yes there is...but...the case would look stupid (behind)....having 2 clips gone and replaced with screws.. =/

thanks for the website...but is there anywhere which they sell the expansion slot clips seperately?

You have to push down on the tab inside the case to release the clips. I have had my Scout for almost a year now and have never broken a clip. Coolermaster direct will be your best bet.

one question..you sure it will fit in a scout case?

becasuse i re-read it and title says 'Sniper toolles PCI fastener'

Marvin · 25 Jun 2010 at 22:15

That was the only option under the CM Storm range of spares. Probably best to drop them an email. I was only posting the link to compare them with yours.

Assassin_012 · 25 Jun 2010 at 22:44

i c...lol...well ill check with them then =)

You're right. While there's lot of similarity there are also definitely differences:

Nothing nicer than case maker keeping changing parts... although maybe these might be compatible.
I've put forward also inquiry through Coolermaster forum so let's see what they answer.

The more I see this kind weak plastic parts the less I would trust them for attaching anything...

Sniper's PCI clips are incompatible with Scout but if you contact Rudieman in Coolermaster forum he can get the right ones for you.

Assassin_012 · 28 Jun 2010 at 20:29

Are you using IE? Both Firefox and Opera work.
(or are you using some script blocking)
