October 21, 201015 yr Can anyone tell me if these HORRIBLE little clips have a proper technical name and where I might get some (in the UK)? I've got some lager ones designed for holding motherboards in place, but this is MUCH smaller for an onboard graphics chip heat sink.Many thanks Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)
