Im currently looking into buying a new LGA775 clip (Fourth picture in http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106075) but does anyone know where to get one from or at least the name of it?

I broke mine....dont ask how, you wouldnt believe it

Anyway Im in desperate need for a new one

Thanks,
Peter

no idea sorry but i suggest get something better.if your budget is the limit then stick to what you planned.

I allready have one sitting up upon the shelve, but since my clip that attaches it to my motherboard broke, its become unuseable

Just need a new LGA775 clip thing for it, but cant find the name of what im looking for

i dont think they do clips only unless you contact the manufacture diectly.they probably will ask you to RMA the product to get it repaired.

Do you know where I could get some LGA775 clips from then?

The actual feet things that plug into the motherboard.

i doubt you can find any.personally i dont know sorry!

good luck

For a LGA775 stock cooler those things would be "pushpins".
I'd recommend buying a new stock cooler as it's far less of a hussle then RMA-ing it and costs about the same (after you pay for all the shipping and everything).
Most likely they would just replace the entire heatsink and fan anyway and ask full price for it.
