[SOLVED] Heatsink with push pins?

[kathmundu]

Hey guys,

I know pushpin cpu heatsinks/coolers are generally considered stock and low tier, but takibg my motherboard and everything on it out is an extreme [censored] for me as i have joint problems so getting intricate screws out is a [censored]. Can anyone recommend a cpu heatsink for intel LGA1151 that just has the standard pushpins to replace my current intel stock cooler? Its really starting to scream

Those pushpins are worse than any screws.

Push pins can't hold down large mass of cooler bodies so you will not find any worthwhile cooler with those mounts. Which CPU do you need it for ? That can make huge difference.

Not very hot CPU, shouldn't take much to keep it cool. Tower coolers are out of question with that kind of mount. Maybe something like this https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-air-coolers/x-dream-i117/
