Need mounting "spring clips" for NB cooler..

I have this board:

If you look, the NB cooler has some sort of spring clips to mount the heat sink. I was planning to reuse my spring clip, or wire, to mount my Zalman, but the clip was hooked into the old heat sink and broke when I was pulling it out. When I got the bigger portion out, I was then sure that it could be done.

Does anyone know where I can get something like this to mount my Zalman? I thought of bending paper clips, but I don't think the thick paper clips will be stong as this clip.

I don't want to use thermal epoxy.


EDIT: Also, where can I get some of these pads?

you can use thermal epoxy, just dilute it with AS3 or AS5. mix 2 parts AS3/5 to 1 part AS thermal adhesive. very easy to remove if need be, just a gentle twist will break the cooler free.

Thanks, but I would rather use the spring clip....

Contact MSI.

Aren't there mount holes next to the NB? My Zalman came with new spring clips to mount in the holes.

There are no holes, just loops for the hooks.

I wrote MSI, but it is the weekend... I also got ahold of Thermafloheatsinks.com and they make some. I will pick some of these up.

thanks,
