HI guys, wondering if you can help me, recenlty my PC began to freeze, what I discovered was that the 2 of the pins that were holidng my CPU fan in place had snapped, causing the CPU not to connect and freeze. So I ordered a new heat sink, whick was fine, but it only came as the fan and it did not have the "bracket" at the bottom which attaches it to the mother board. So now I have a new fan as well as the old, but the problem is I need the bottom plastic piece to connect it to the motehrboard. The thing is I dont know what this is called so I cant find it, does any one know, I hope I havent confused anyone... Thanks

So basically what is this thing called lol...


Thanks

Oh sorry just realised what I had wrote lol... The PSU went before that and I replaced it, thing is I havent got the model of the motherboard with me at the mo, but I have an advent pc and I remeber it had n1996 written on it. I have a INTEL Pentium 4 Socket 478 CPU Heat sink Fan. The fan is fine, but it needs an attachment so it can sit on the motherboard. Like a bracket but I dont know what these are called.

Thanks
 
I knew my explanation would make this confusing sorry, see the fan I have is fine as well as the new one that I have, they have

Aluminum heat sink
2.5-inch fan
DC 12V, 0.17A
Supports Socket 478 processors up to 3.0 GHz
Approximately 9-inch cable length (from fan to 3-pin connector)
Regulatory

The thing is this fan does not just clip into the motherbaord, it something inbetween it inorder for them to attach together if that makes any sence...
 
Yeah they have sent the compont to apply after cleaning, see thats the thing I have the Heat sink and CPU, But it needs another plastic part that clips on to the fan which then connects to the motherboard so its


Heats sink=== CPU====Mystery plastic piece ==== Motherboard

Sorry if this is confuding you...

Thanks...
 
Oh thats it, thats the thing ha ha, now all I have to do is find one that matches. mine has a peg in each corner, so I have to find one that fits. Thanks guys you are great... P.S if you see one like that could you let me know LOL thanks again guys you are great...
