I recently lost the mounting hardware for my Tuniq Tower 120 heatsink, the company that owns Tuniq, Sunbeam, and Tuniq themselves are just leading me around in circles as too what too do, telling me too contact one or the other too replace it. So does anyone know where I could get mounting hardware for it?

I plan too use the heatsink in my brothers computer untill we can buy one for it (he hates massive heatsinks for fear of breaking his motherboard), I may give it too him, seeing as the heatsink I have for my 'ole Pentium D 805 is allowing me too reach an overclock from 2.66GHz too 3.66GHz running at 90F with full CPU load.


This is the heatsink:

Tuniq Tower 120

Thanks in advance.Have you emailed newegg Customer Service to see if they may have any extras lying around ? ?Yes, they directed me t'wards sunbeam, sunbeam twards tuniq, tuniq twards sunbeam or the seller, and so on.

Sorry for the delay, got a tad busy yesterday. Anyway, the warranty doesn't SEEM too cover lost mounting hardware. So, I was hoping too find someone who knew of a generic replacement that may work.

I still have the H bracket for the heatsink, its the motherboard back plate and/or bolts/screws that I need. I was hoping too run the Tuniq on a Core 2 Duo E8400 when I upgrade the CPU in my desktop, So that I could a system that, for once, doesn't sound like Satan's Hair Drier. Below is an image of the SOCKET LGA775 backplate I need. I'll be honest about how I lost the backplate, I had too RMA a motherboard that I thought was dead, but was actually seeing my pentium D 805 as a "Pentium 5" and enabling hyperthreading. For those of you that don't know, the pentium D is a dual core CPU, and hyperthreading is a single core CPU emulating a dual core CPU too allow more threads, Hyperthreading was used on pentium 4's. Anyway, I left the bracket on the motherboard. It had uber double sided tape on it, and I forgot too remove it before RMA'ing it, needless too say, it didn't come back with my motherboard.



[recovering disk space -- attachment deleted by admin]I would continue trying other Tunig vendors...vendors will probably help more than the runaround manuf. you've been dealing with...Yeah, I've thought of that, but I'll probably just by some uber-cheap heatsink that has hardware, or something i can modify too work. I was looking at a Zalman bracket I may be able too drill out and tap too support some standard dome headed stove bolts. Either way, I will find a way too re-use this heatsink. I paid $50 for it, I'll be damned if I'm going too let it be a shelf ornament.


This is the aluminum backplate that zalman sells separate of there heatsinks for some odd reason

Zalman Bracket

EDIT: this is my motherboard:

Motherboard

I figure I'll just wrap the zalman bracket in a layer of good ole electrical tape, and stick it on the back of the board. the electrical tape is there too be entirely SURE the aluminum doesn't cause any shorts or grounding issues, even THOUGH aluminum is non-conductive, better safe than sorry.

Anyway, thanks Patio, you jarred my memory of the Zalman bracket newegg had. I'll end up modding it too work somehow or another. Unless, someone knows of a better bracket.Hope it works out for you...

BTW aluminum is conductive...
Some repair shops sell the insulator pads in larger pads that can be CUSTOM cut to size...they come 2 ways with stickum on one or both sides or none at all.
