I've recently come across an upgrade for an old computer but now I need a new cooler. Due to the CPU and space I've got to work with I have determined that the Bequiet! SHADOW ROCK TOPFLOW (BK012) is the best for the job. The catch is that it can be SOLD without the brackets needed for mounting. Now, I've never encountered this before and find it rather confusing. So, does anyone know if you can buy clips/brackets separately?

Cheers.I'd never buy a cooler that didn't come with brackets/holdowns...
But thats just me...I know. It's just an alien concept.

I just assumed that it was just the LATEST in money pinching marketing or something.What socket are you wanting to use the cooler on?  You MAY be able to buy them separately but you'd probably have to GO direct to bequiet if you can't find them sold elsewhere.*Update*

GOING with a different cooler. Space issues arose with my original choice.

Also my last post should have read "I just assumed that it was just the latest in money pinching marketing scheme or something."
