Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2L - Broken Clip

[STRETCH]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

I have managed to snap the spring clip on my Copper Silent 2L whilst
installing it, and wondered if anyone could suggest a location for
spares, if they are even available.

Or would it be possible to obtain another clip from elsewhere that
would fit? Have googled but can't find what I need.

After failing to even get a response from Arctic Cooling, to both
emails and their web form, I thought I would try here.

Thanks

heh I was surprised to see you weren't posting using Outlook Express,
usually it's that newsreader that has the multiple posting problems

Anyways, re: my other reply, is it new?

Sorry, here was my original reply to you:

Is it new? Write to one of their distributors. I know that Zalman and
Antec are great for helping out customers, even here in Australia. If
you were just installing as normal and the clip broke on a new item,
there was probably a defect in the metal to start with and you should
exchange the item.

It's not new, which is adding to the problem. It's a nice little unit
and I know it would be cheap enough to replace but I hate to waste
things Annoyed me a little that I didn't get any reply from Arctic
Cooling either from emails or via their web support form.

And the multiple posting error was entirely due to another faulty
component, namely me

Go here:

http://www.arctic-cooling.com/where_to.php

enter the relevant details (or make up some) and try to find a local-ish
distributor. Email the distributor and tell them that your clip broke
and ask if they can provide you with a spare or if you can purchase a
replacement clip from them. How much does this unit cost, anyway?

Cheers,

Ari
