Title: WTB: BB2 Video Card Heat Sink Retainer Pins
Post by: Pinaddicted on March 13, 2024, 07:50:57 PM

Looking for a source for some BB2 video card heat sink retainer pins.

I've ordered some from Amazon, but I have a feeling they are going to be a little too long. There's not a lot of clearance under the HD/SSD.

Thanks, Mark

For anyone interested, the retainer pins mentioned above appear to work perfectly.  After a test fit there were no clearance issues at all. I removed the heat sink again and applied new thermal paste.

I have 100 of them....  :rotfl:

Correction: 96

I bought these a couple years ago, still going through my pack. They work excellent for BB2 and some others like Alpha elite video cards.
