Need assistance tracking down an odd heatsink...

[DonS]

Hey all!

I am trying to track down an heatsink for an IBM Lenovo 87H5127 Motherboard (ThinkCentre M57). The actual IBM Heatsink is an odd thing: Model 41R6039.

Or perhaps I should say, the board seems to be odd in what type of heat sink it takes. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience if this is a proprietary heatsink? Or if there are any other options available? Thanks!

I probably have this, have so many lenovos lying around. Do you have a pic of the one you need?

follow up

It is apparently THIS ridiculous item: (sorry for the picture size in advance)

 

[Knightsman]

oh yeah, I have about 300 of them. Where are you located?

 

[DonS]

300 !! lol omg

I am in Phoenix, AZ. Chances are you are not in Phoenix, AZ! I would be happy to pay for shipping and whatever for it.

Just as an FYI, I would need the whole deal - the heatsink, the mounting bracket, and the screws.

Is there a reason the one I posted that I found on Ebay won't work for you?

 

[DonS]

Well.. actually yes.

1) that product includes the CPU heatsink AND a case fan and wiring at a higher price than just the CPU heatsink I need (found on ebay for $17.00)

2) in addition, if someone here, out of the goodness of their heart wants to offer me up a heatsink for free or at a lesser price, I would certainly be grateful and accept their offer. I would much rather contribute a payment to a fellow business than a random person on ebay.

Geez Excuse me! I was just asking a question and trying to be helpful! Thanks for clearing up my confusion though. I won't bother you again.
