I broke one of the plastic pins of the intel heatsink for the i7-4770K (LGA1150)
Any where I can get replacement locally, online preferably.

Or should I go get a 3rd party heatsink instead?

I was quoted $30+$15(delivery) for the heatsink which I feel ex for a stock cooler.

Get a Deepcool Gammaxx 400 V2. Under $37 locally and if from taobao is $24 and better than Hyper 212. Hyper 212 isn't the best in today's time. There are cheaper and better alternatives. Even a Snowman T4 from Alixpress also $25 is better than it.

There are plenty of people selling unused stock Intel cooler on Carousell. Should be able to get one with decent price.

Intel stock cooler is $5 to $10 max. In any case, it is crap and you are better off with a third party HSF.

Did went there first but could not find a suitable one for LGA 1150 not to mention delivery.

Notice your cs380 got a bulge at the side, did you account for that in the measurement?

You are right. I did not take that into consideration.
Will update the dimensions when I have measured.

Update
I looked at the manual & it indicate clearence as 149mm, so I will remain as 15cm allowance.
Cause previously bought a graphic card not following manual dimension & base on my own measurement, end of the day could not fit in. In the end sold it at a loss. :(

Not possible to find none. Especially since Intel has been using the same cooler design for socket 1155, 1150, 1151. There should be numerous listings for unused stock cooler.

Don't seach for "intel 1150 cooler", most of them won't bother with the socket. Just search for "intel cooler" Confirm got hits.

Delivery can be settled easily with grab or qxpress

Looks good. But price is kinda ex? I think.


Due to the height clearance, you can only go for 90mm coolers.

Cryorig M9i $40.69, shortcoming is it's for Intel only.

Would recommend M9 plus which can fit both AMD and Intel socket.

The price is reasonable for the cooler. I had it a while ago and can attest that the build quality is good. Never got around to installing it since I ended up using AIO and eventually sold it.

A now considering Cryorig H7. But most delivery takes too long :(
The one can with 2-3 days OOS :(

After reading further, don't think I want to get stock cooler anymore. Plus I find it difficult to install it. Scared wait break another pin then :s27:
