Replacement for intel heatsink mounting push-pins

[Ark Law]

Just get another stock Intel hsf <$10 from Carouhell.

I personally can't vouch for the C7's fan quality. Twice the fan failed and I couldn't be bothered to RMA the 2nd time. Ran my PC with the C7's heatsink bare with a GT case fan blowing onto it. Only last week bought the stock hsf from Carouhell.

To me, the Nidec version of the Intel cooler is quieter than the Delta version (and perhaps the Foxconn one too).

now got phobia with the pins breaking again. I plan on getting the H7 not C7

Just ordered H7.Hope to receive it soon.

Amazingly, I never have my PC break down before. It has to happen during the circuit breaker.

- PC cannot start
- went service center, MB tested generally ok
- thinking could it be power supply
- went back to test (just power the board only), seems to work
- Install back the processor & HS, HS pin broke.

wow

Prefer the plain H7. Not into any lighting for my case.

Go to any of the friendlier sls shops and ask nicely for example Nigel. Should be able to get FOC or give a small tip will do.

glad that you decided on a third party cooler.

But problem is I don’t want to go out unnecessarily & SLS is too far. It’s fortunate that the service center is not too far from home

Haha. Did not did much research that time to realize that this stock cooler CMI

The H7 arrived. However installation was not as easy as what I read in the reviews.
