I had a brand new nForce 4 SLI 133-K8-NF41 and it wouldn't post, figured it was a bad BIOS chip. The heatsink fit perfectly but I had to return the MOBO to Newegg.
Newegg was out of stock, so I ordered the identical mobo from another vendor.
After I removed the stock heatsink mount, I noticed the fasteners were different:

The heatsink is designed to screw into the mobo's backplate like this:

The new backplate is designed for those cheesy plastic connectors. When installed the heatsink mount should look like this:

And this is the bare stock mobo:

How do I get a new backplate that will accept two screws and will also fit the heatsink?
