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,

I would source them from a donor board. Also the cheapest I think.
i386 16 ⇒ i486 DX4 100 ⇒ Pentium MMX 200 ⇒ Athlon Pluto 700 ⇒ 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 anything Nexgen, PM me if you have one. Also ATI Rage 128 PCI cards.

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.
