Answer» I bought a Tuniq Tower 120 CPU cooler a while back, was going to use it on my MSI P6N-SLI motherboard, however, the CPU i have, a pentium D 805, is not compatible with it, so, i gave the motherboard to my brother so he could upgrade from his dell 2400 to a core 2 duo E4500 system, core 2 duo works flawlessly with the P6N-SLI.
Anyway, long story short, I am throwing together a 3.0GHz pentium 4 socket 478 on a BIOSTAR motherboard with four gigs of DDR2 667, PCI-E 16x Asus Nvidia Geforce 8500GT 256mb 128b GPU, my 320GB Western Digital hard drive, some 16x or faster DVD burner, ROSEWILL 550W dual 12v rail PSU, all in an antec 900 case. So, i have this heatsink, the Tuniq, that cost me about $40, and, I'd like to find hardware for it to mount a 478 board, it came with the hardware, which i threw in the box, which i believe my grandmother threw out. So, anyone know anywhere i can pick up a generic mount that would work with the tuniq? I still have the mutli-socket H bracket for the tuniq, so i could just rig it onto the board with another shrink wrapped H bracket on the bottom of the board for support, with aluminum bolts and plastic washers with some small springs for tension somewhat like it was mounted originally, but, I'd rather not rig a $40 heatsink onto a $60 motherboard, with a CPU that would cost me $90 nearly to replace being cooled by it.
so, anyone know where i can get some generic mounting equipment for the 478 socket that will work with the tuniq?
I'm going to try to email Sunbeam, already tried tuniq, there as responsive as a week old corpse, tried to email them several times already.
Uploaded an image of the hardware needed, if an EXPLANATION of how it MOUNTS is needed, refer to the manual, images explain better than my rambling
[file cleanup - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]i have never heard of a site selling just the tuniq tower mounting hardware, or any CPU heatsink mounting hardware. i think your only chance to get it would be to ASK the people at sunbeam.
