What alternative can you use strap a cpu In its socket

[im4gine3]

I seem to have misplaced my retention bracket and the ihs of my cpu, since it’s being water cooled on die only.

Wondered if anyone has used Electrical tape to hold down the cpu in its socket or not.

Reason I ask is there have been times I have dropped items on the rig (item falling from window sill for example) which potentially knocks the cpu out of place slightly resulting in memory errors (ASUS qled 53-55), so trial and error getting my memory slots to recognise all my memory sticks, and having to reseat the cpu.

I have looked at die mounts from debauer but since there are 6 series and above I don’t know if they would fit a 4770k due to the die positioning.


thanks

ahh didn't think of that.. I was originally gonna go that route but now after falling in love with the mitx cases such as the M1 and the NR200, I’m considering replacing the Mobo with a mitx board. Just a bit tough finding the right board of flea bay and seems other forums I know of aren’t that active in the members market.
Like others have mentioned, I need the golden 1000 posts to access the members market else I’d be buying cr*p load of stuff for a second build (assuming ocuk members market is much more active)... plus with a Corsair 750d sitting on the side, much prefer to sell this off before the second build begins... having that case is what’s keeping me from going ssf
