Scythe releases metal mounting bracket for their S775 Coolers
 

The Japanese cooling specialist Scythe Co. Ltd. unveils the new CPU Cooler Stabilizer 775. With this product, mounting of LGA 775 Coolers is possible without using the Push Pins. With the supplied Push Pin Removal-Tool, displacing the original Push Pins is no problem anymore. Secure mounting of the cooler is possible using Back-Plate and screws. The whole product consists of metal and is really solid.

When using the Stabilizer on Socket 478 CPU Coolers, the included mounting bars are used. By using those, the CPU Cooler Stabilizer 775 provides a better contact pressure between CPU and Cooler than using conventional mounting solutions.

The CPU Cooler Stabilizer 775 is a consequent selective further development of the popular Universal Retention Kit. Included in the package, there are many accessories to ensure compatibility and performance: Back-Plate, Metal Mounting Bar for Socket 478, Screws, Copper Spacer, Insulation Washer, Push-Pin Removal Tool and a small package of Thermal Grease.

Scythe CPU Cooler Stabilizer 775 is available for 6,90 Euro + VAT / US$ 11,50 + TAX. For K8 / AM2 and AM2+, CPU Cooler Stabilizer AM2 will be announced within the next couple of weeks.

At last...

too bad it has to be optional, this shuld be a standard feature.

not entirely agree with you here, the performance difference is not that big and for the mainstream of users, removing motherboard is not doable, pushing 4 pins is more doable ;)

let it be optional and usable for future CPU HSF too,
