THE UNTHINKABLE HAS HAPPENED!! :eek:

It all started an hour ago.....

So there I was blissfully sitting at my compy checkin through TPU...and suddenly I heard a quiet little creeking sound and then a sudden THUD! I looked around and noticed nothing out of the ordanary...then I happen to look down at my PC...

The Freezer 64 had POPPED OFF the retention mechanism!! or so I thought...so I shut the PC down like greased lightening. All that can be said is thank god the freezer 64 wasnt very high up or it would of caused a total catastroph! On further opening my compy and removing the freezer 64 ready to fit it again, I noticed something...it hadn't popped off like I thought...one of the lil clip things on the black chassis had SOMEHOW broke CLEAN OFF! :eek:

PIC!

So now I'm appealing to everyone out there who are maybe on water or other cooling means to donate your stock retention mechanism to the save Prowler foundation! That name again, the save Prowler foundation

just imagine emailing Asus tech support and telling them the plastic clip just broke... their gonna be like "yeah right :rolleyes:

How To Contact The Save Prowler Foundation

Sending an appropriately sized email, PM or post will generate an almost instantanious response and a smiley face

An AM2 retention mechanism shouldn't be hard to come by, I thought you were looking for funds to buy a new Freezer 64 Pro for a minute

. Using an s939 rig on a Gigabyte motherboard, I can't exactly give you anything

. I can wish you good luck however :toast:

Wow, that sucks. You should send an email to Arctic Cooling.

DaMulta · Oct 27, 2006

You should contact Danger Den and ask if you good do a review for TUP over one of their water cooling kits.

zekrahminator · Oct 27, 2006

I just realized, shouldn't that freezer have landed on your VGA?

Ketxxx · Oct 27, 2006

It did

luckily it wasnt far below so major catastroph was avoided.

i_am_mustang_man · Oct 27, 2006

did you forget a spacer between your retention module and your mobo? cuz that would make the cpu higher in comparison, causing more stress on the cooler retention thingy, thereby possibly stressing the retention square to the point of breaking.

if it's still really tight, try using a spacer

or maybe you got a bum square thingy

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 27, 2006

Same cooler, same socket, VERY CLOSE board... Wow, Ketxxx, Im glad you are ok, and more importantly your computer. Also, Ket, mine is VERY tight, I mean the tightest Ive seen, so Im not surprised.

Ketxxx · Oct 27, 2006

nope didnt forget any spacers mustang, just supposed to clip right on.
