wanted: vrm heatsink for Maximus II Formula

[slngsht]

To make a long story short, a long time ago, I dropped a cpu in the socket of my MIIF and it bent up some pins, so I figured the board was a gonner. I put it on a shelf to use for parts. I ended up removing one of the VRM heatsinks from the board and used it on a video card, and ended up misplacing the heatsink I removed. Later on, I was diagnosing a buddy's computer to see if his cpu was fried. At the time, the only board I had available to even try was the maximus II formula, so I pulled it down off the shelf, got out an exacto blade and magnifying glass and bent the pins back. I put the cpu in and it posted no problem. Now I want to put the board back in commission, but I can't because one of the vrm heatsinks is gone.

 

I was hoping someone here may have a dead maximus II Formula laying around that may be able to help me out with the part I need, or a suggestion to replace it with another similar part that would let me put this thing back in use.

I have a dead MIIF. The VRM sink is attached to the rest of the chipset cooler though. It's all one piece.

I'm not sure of that You may detach it from the pipe I guess...

 

Hehe I'd like to find a new PCE-E 1 slot for mine ^^ I doubt it would be possible... but can't I still RMA it or ??

I don't know which VRM the M2F uses, but those are usually cooled through the PCB so you're better off with just a small fan pointing at them.

Thanks guys. I went crazy because I knew I hadn't gotten rid of it, so went through my boxes of stuff and found it. I had shoved it in a box with antistatic bags. /facepalm.jpg

 

Crap organization will be the end of my sanity.
