northbridge heatsink for fp-in9

[tenpastseven]

I bought an fp-in9 that doe not have its original north bridge heatsink (the square flat one with the cool red Fatal1ty logo near the pciex slots)

DOes any1 know where i could get the original heatsink as the one that replaced it is massive and wont let my graphics card fit. Or maybe a recommendation on a similar one to the original with the same specs. I dont know much about computers so im stuck in the water with this one.

thanks

Ask the seller for one or replacement board. Or ask ABIT for one. It may cost you shipping. Or you can buy an aftermarket chipset HSF at newegg or ncix.com.

ive been trying to look for a contact for abit to get a replacement but i think im looking in the wrong place. The aftermarket heatsinks are too big (the ones i have looked at anyway). thanks for the advice though=)

btw it actually sound like you are looking for the southbridge heatsink.
the nb is the big black 1 between the PCI-E slots & the CPU socket.
