Zalman 9500 AM2 on a 775 mobo?

[crompers]

title pretty much says it all!

i have a Zalman 9500 AM2 cooler (and excellent it is too), im looking to move to C2D and was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a mounting bracket for a 775 motherboard (im uk based)?

i know they exist because this cooler is identical to the 9500 LED which fits 775 sockets

Contact the webmaster here (link at the bottom of the page). Perhaps the company will ship the mounting bracket kit to you. I contacted the company at Garden Grove, CA location and their service department let me drive there and gave me the entire new mounting kit free.

Yeah, I think they may do you a favor and ship a new mounting kit to you. I was fully prepared to pay and their service dept let me drive over and pick it up and for no charge.

When support gets back to you, tell them your situation. Maybe they will find a way to get it to you, the distance and all.

ok so zalman got back to me and it looks like i need one of these

i can buy one of these no problems but i have been on the zalman website and it looks like im also going to need an "s-clip"

now im not certain but it looks to me like this is just the bracket and not the clip and i cant find a clip anywhere. any suggestions?

Did you ask Zalaman if you can just buy the entire mounting 'kit'. Basically the 'mounting kit' is the entire contents of the 'white' accessory box that comes with a new Zalman 9500/9700. Zalaman handed me the entire box 'kit' for no charge when I went there.

There are two metal tension-type clamp downs w/screws that come in the kit besides the two rubber mounting plates ishown n your first link.

Hey, I've got exactly the opposite problem. I bought a Zalman cpns9500led and it came with everything but what I needed, I finally found an AM2 clip at www.sharkacomputers.com for $6.95. Zalman changed the part number from zm-oc1 to 95am2. I think I have what you need... pay shipping and its yours.
