Universally compatible with all standard Socket 478 motherboards, including most DELL models, this module is constructed from extra strong polycarbonate and includes mounting plastic push-pins for easy installation. ## Description This is your standard Socket 478 Retention Bracket, used to mount a standard Socket 478 Heatsink/Fan. Normally, this piece is included with the motherboard, but here is a chance to buy a replacement if you broke yours during installation, or you bought a motherboard that did not come with one. Four easily snap-in pins for easy installation. Made of strong Polycarbonate material, which is twice as strong as the standard ones that come with most motherboards. Review: works fine .. - I had trouble getting the old retainer pins out of the motherboard of this Dell Optiplex PC. I thought I might have damaged the motherboard, they were so difficult to remove, but after inserting this retention, then putting the CPU heatsink and fan in place, everything turned out all right. Some people have posted that these retentions that depend on friction plugs that plug in tight to the motherboard are unreliable and need to be replaced by ones that have screws to firmly fasten the retention to the motherboard. But in my case it seemed impossible to get the motherboard out, to be able to put fastening screws in, so this type of retention worked the best for my application: once I got the old retainer pins out, the retention popped in place and seemed plenty firm for my purposes. Combine this with the StarTech.com Socket 478 CPU Cooler fan with Heatsink, and you have a good cooling solution for old Pentium-IV computers. Review: Extra bracket comes in handy - These brackets keep breaking for some reason, and this is an extra. Very inexpensive, It makes sense to keep extras for the older systems we keep building in this house. Recommended. ## Features - Universally fits all standard Socket 478 motherboards, including most DELL's! - Replaces your broken or missing CPU heatsink bracket! - Extra strong and durable polycarbonate constructed. - Mounting plastic push-pins included. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000YA7QTO | | Best Sellers Rank | #92,379 in Computer Internal Components | | Brand | Intel Compatible | | Brand Name | Intel Compatible | | CPU Socket | Socket 478 | | Cooler Heatsink Compatibility | Socket 478 | | Cooler Heatsink Material | Aluminum | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 107 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Generic | | Model | OEM-CBR478 | | Mounting Type | Chassis Mount | | Part Number | OEM-CBR478 | | UPC | 683728092986 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **Cooler Heatsink Material:** Aluminum - **CPU Socket:** Socket 478 - **Cooler Heatsink Compatibility:** Socket 478 - **Item Weight:** 1.6 ounces ## Images ![Intel P4 Socket 478 CPU Heatsink Retention Motherboard Bracket Module - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41f6E2M6YPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works fine .. *by R***L on November 23, 2015* I had trouble getting the old retainer pins out of the motherboard of this Dell Optiplex PC.

Very inexpensive, It makes sense to keep extras for the older systems we keep building in this house. Recommended. ### ⭐ Inexpensive but wholly undurable. *by M***T on October 14, 2017* With the new heatsink/fan cooler, I needed this piece. It fits the MassCool 9T370B1M3G like a glove, as the stock bracket (via Dell Dimension 3000) was a bit too large. Update 10/17/17: Out of two purchased, one has broken on a corner where the cooler retention clip hooks into the bracket after two days. The system shut down when it broke before my eyes, I pray before damage took place. The second unit seems to be holding up. Hopefully the second unit will hold up long enough to get the system configured. Then I'll purchase the more robust metal variant offered via Amazon. I would NOT recommend this product. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel P4 Socket 478 CPU Heatsink Retention Motherboard Bracket Module - Thermaltake SMART 600W ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V 80 Plus Certified Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0600NPCWUS-W - JZYMOD EPS12V CPU 8 Pin Female to CPU ATX 8 Pin and ATX 4 Pin Male Power Supply Extension Cable --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/10457906-intel-p4-socket-478-cpu-heatsink-retention-motherboard-bracket-module](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/10457906-intel-p4-socket-478-cpu-heatsink-retention-motherboard-bracket-module) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
