Stupid Mistake with Retention Bracket

I just realized that I forgot to take off the retention bracket that was attached to the back side of the motherboard I RMAed (dead board, they already gave me another one, so I won't be seeing the old one--ever).

I was wondering whether there is a suitable replacement for the bracket, it was from the Xigmatek Dark Knight that was designed for the lga 1336. Does fry's or microcenter carry any sort of adapter kit that I could use for the heat sink? Thank you for your time.


P.S. This looked pretty similar http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835233027 but I'd prefer a walk-in store as I'd like to have my computer up and running before next week

I doubt you could get it from a walk-in. I don't recall seeing any Xigmatek products last I was in Frye's

Amazon could get it to you Monday

It should not be terribly proprietary though. When I removed the predecessor to the DK, the S1284 from my CPU and replaced it with a Swiftech water block, the screws were the same size and I just left the old bracket in place.

Yes the shape of the bracket can be important on some boards because they have electronic parts on the back side that could come in contact. The screw hole size should be the same in all, it's just the placement that varies on each socket type.
