P4 bracket.

[printerman]

You know the bracket on a p4 mobo that grips onto the heatsink.? Its usually black and sits around the bit the chip goes in. Do you know if you can buy relacement ones or do i have to buy a new board.?

Thanks guys.

I had to replace an AMD64 one,part of it snapped and the heatsink fell off .The user kept turning pc on,mad thing is it booted to windows before crashing.
What a nightmare replacing it was.It wasnt screwed on ended up having to dig these stupid plastic lugs off
Hope the P4 is easier just be careful

Ask around your local pc shops,If im not mistaked some chips come with a spare one of these and they may well have one lying around
