Hi,
My motherboard has one set of these retention bracket blots but as it's dual slot 1 I need another pair, any idea what they're called and where I can find them?
Thank you,
Anthony

I would source them from a donor board. Also the cheapest I think.
i386 16 ⇒ i486 DX4 100 ⇒ Pentium MMX 200 ⇒ Athlon Orion 700 | TB 1000 ⇒ AthlonXP 1700+ ⇒ Opteron 165 ⇒ Dual Opteron 856

Seems a bit extreme just for two of whatever these things are 😒

Slot 1 (I guess, Athlon is the same kind) CPU retention bracket?
Edit: ebay has the top parts, but the bottom parts are usually glued to the mainboard so apparently rarely sold...
Searching a Nexgen Nx586 with FPU, PM me if you have one. I have some Athlon MP systems and cookies.

Strange, the ones I have are loose.
Maybe I could make a couple somehow.

You don’t really beed them, just a bolt with some protection for the mainboard PCB (paper) will do for testing and playing with? What you need is the other side to hold the CPU in place.
