im building a core2 setup for my dad and i really dont feel like dealing with the stock heatsink. the 775 clips are a pain in the ass and i feel like im gonna break the mobo when im pushing them in

on my computer i got a zalman cnsp9500 and it comes with its own mounting system which is way better and more secure
so, what im asking is, what are some other heatsink fans that have their own mounting system so i dont have to use the shitty standard one?
i doubt ill be overclocking so i dont need a $50 zalman. so is there somehting a little cheaper that is still as good or better than the intel one?
 
I've never heard of a board being broken by pushing down on those clips. And in all of my days, I've never hurt a board using the intel cooler. I'd say just use the Intel one.

Even if you go aftermarket, it'll probably have the exact same tabs because that's the spec for the LGA775 socket.
