Xigmatek Retention Bracket?

[SinisterMessiah]

Are there any retention brackets from another brand that will work with the Xigmatek heatsinks? Newegg is the only site I've seen that carries the Xigmatek bracket and they are all out atm.

YES, the Thermalright bracket. ...or if you have a TRUE you can re-use the one supplied with it. NewEgg doesn't have the Thermalright bracket listed ATM, but they've had it in the past.

Is this the one?

Na, that's not it, I'm trying to find a link for you.

If you're going to buy a backplate for the Xiggy, why not get the one at newegg? After all, it's designed to be used with the Xiggy.

Unless there's some issues with it?

That's it.

If you Google "Thermalright 775 bolt-thru" you'll get a lot of hits.

Sold out @ NewEgg, I believe. The ThermalRight bolt-thru works well, I'm using it myself.

Seems like it's more expensive...meh.

I suppose he lives in America so here's the TR bolt-thru at this trusty store: http://www.jab-tech.com/Thermalright-LGA775-Bolt-Thru-Kit-pr-3605.html

If he Googles it (as suggested) he can find a lot of e-tailers selling it. <$10.
