GENNEL50pcs Heatsink Spring Rivet Fastener Push Pin Mounting Screw for PC GPU VGA Card Fan Northbridge Chipset Heatsink

Cut about 2/3 off the base, pop off the spring retainer/ plunger sleeve? then cut that in half. Put it back together and replace the old spring rivets holding down the heat sync on your MacPro 4,1/5,1. Then go live a carefree life knowing that your motherboard won’t self immolate due to a snapped piece of 13 year old plastic.

Has good clamping force and are easy to replace.

These are advertised as being replacements for the Northbridge heatsink on Mac Pro cheesegraters. They’re too tall and while they will work, they require some modification to get there. First you must remove the plastic sleeve / stand-off that the spring sits in and cut it in half with very fine cutters, and then reinsert it. Next, use fine cutters to cut the top piece of plastic in half. Now they’re good. There’s a YouTube video by “The House of Moth” showing this exact procedurePieces are good otherwise

If you have a cheesegrader Mac pro and you are repasting your CPU's and northbridge chips, this is the best upgrade to replace the original pop-in rivets.

Needed to replace fasteners on my Mac Pro 4,1>5,1 Northbridge Heatsink. This fits the hole and the spring tension provides the right amount of "play" for any heat expansion. Just trim one of them to fit under your cpu heatsink. Snaps in easily allowing even tension across the two fasteners.

I needed these for under some fans. The tops have about 1/4" of plastic that is not even used. I had to cut them off with wire cutters and even then it was a little tall.

Thanks I looked a lot for this part finally I founded on Amazon.

Works well as a replacement for original parts.
