where can I get a socket 939 retention bracket and plate? I seem to have misplaced mine (I never used it and think it got thrown away by accident) and want to build a machine with my board and a retail AMD heatsink. I need the backplate and screws as well.

cheers

what about ghetto modding one out of plexiglass.first make a cardboard stencil including holes distances and diameter.buy a hacksaw blade and cut out a square of masking tape backed 3mm plexiglass.drill your holes<-practice first on some spare plexiglass.And attatch using small machine screws from b & q.

EDIT ^^this wont work for the brracket though so would be of no use.sorry

I found they are really hard to come by, I had to import mine from america (~£12 for something worth $3).

Couldn't find it in the uk.

I got this from the installation instructions for a Freezer 64 pro:

"Every motherboard should come with a AMD retention module. If there is contrary to expectations no retention module available on your motherboard, ask your dealer since we provide our distributors with them separately."

Hope this helps

cheers everyone, I've email asus hopefully they'll come up trumps, I've also got an add in the wanted section, surely someone has a borked 939 board and has one spare!! Do you think it's worth getting in contact with AMD?
