I could have sent you a pile a few months back: I usually replace mine with nylon bolts and washers when I pull the nb sink off for lapping and new grease. Unfortunately, I threw them all out.

Bolting it will get better tension on it, and give better heat transfer= better stability at high FSB, IMO.

And costs less than a buck.

There is an Ace hardware a mile from my house that has them:D
Any decent Mom'n'Pop hardware store should have them, not sure about the big chains, but its worth a shot.
I'd try a smaller one first though.

if you wait a week, I might be buyina blue orb or crystal orb and epoxying it to my radeon 8500, so I could send you the fastener plugs.

I'm not 100% sure i'm buying it though, so don't wait for me.

I would mount it on the front of the gpu. I currently have a custom one on there, but it takes up two pci slots. I'm getting a new board with less pci slots, so if i decide that I'll need the 2 slots, i'll get an orb.
