Well i have a problem. When i switched my P4 from a dell motherboard to a soyo i also had to switch heatsinks. and the retention system(Brace on motherboard that heatsink hooks too) well now i need to use the dell motherboard and buy a new heatsink for the soyo. But i lost the old retention system from stock soyo. Do you know anywhere i can buy one? Im talking about the two black peices on the top of the motherboard and the plate on the back. The metal clips on the heatsink hook onto the black peices on the motherboard. Also i would assume that dell uses a different style heatsink clip system since the original dell heatsink would only work on the dell retentions system.

thanks in advance
 
u means those 4 black tall things sticking out and surround the socket? yeh, u can buy them at a computer store. just ask for it.
 
yes i think were talking about the same thing. But the only computer store i have around here is compusa. And i don't plan on going there anytime soon. I am placing an order with newegg or zipzoomfly though. Do you know if either of those places have it? i need the back support and the two pieces that surround the socket. thanks
