We are rushing ahead of ourselves. These brackets are brittle. There's a good chance they are broken or missing even before shipping. I have had a lot of Slot 1 boards over time and only a handful of brackets.
And just to be clear, they are not essential, the CPU won't fall off on it's own.
With such a large heatsink does that CPU I linked really need a fan ? if so what size ?

You have it as pdf already (6btm0.exe / 6btm1.exe from here http://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/Archive/Chainte … /manuals/6xxxx/
I have put in an offer on this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324006550148
This looks far more like I expect a Slot 1 CPU to look, no weird big heatsink. and also these CPU's were introduced at the same time as the 440BX chipset in the motherboard I have on the way so are guaranteed to work from that point of view I guess ?
Got that PII 350, should maybe have that and the board by the end of the week.
:3
in any case, would you mind taking more detailed pictures of the retention mechanism when you have the board?
Not meaning to start a debate, just for general info.
The standard Intel SECC (PII and PIII) cassettes measure 14 millimetres width at the sides.
The Foxconn measures 16 millimetres.
I do not rule out that there may be common retention clips out there that can accomodate the Foxconn sink without modification but I certainly had to revamp a couple of them because they did not fit.

ah! that shows it a lot better, thank you for the measurement, I will check on some of mine.
it's not so much a debate, as just a very interesting discussion to me, this is not about who is being "right" but just as to what fits where 😉
That was the idea. I like these heatsinks because they offer space for much larger fans than the ordinary Intel design(s).
