5 out of 5 eggsVery Retentive?

Pros: What do you say about a Rentention Holder?

It's red, it's plastic, rectangular in shape, smooth to the touch, holds my heat sink to my cpu which also applies pressure to my cpu to assist my cpu in staying snuggled with my board and it smells okay.

These are the things innovations are made of.

Cons: Not very good on sandwiches, no matter if you use mustard, mayo or miracle whip. Kind of disappointing, but not worth knocking off any eggs.

Wait.. maybe I should have tried it with an egg sandwich...

Other Thoughts: Might order another one to mount the spare tire under my truck.

5 out of 5 eggsPerfect

Pros: It does exactly what it was intended to do. What else do you need?

Cons: Some people might not like the color. Would probably be smarter to just make it black.

Other Thoughts: I, for one, like the color. I feel it adds some character to my PC. I have actually gotten a couple complements on it on various online communities when showing pics of my PC.

Very few people have anything other than the bracket that came with their mobo.

5 out of 5 eggsNice Red Bracket

Pros: As other have said, the clip on my plastic CPU cooler bracket broke off and my fan and heat sink took a nosedive. I took a chance on this one and it fit perfect and seems very sturdy. It has 3 clips on either side, but it is rare to find any coolers that will mate with all 3. Mine uses only the center clips but it snapped in with a good tight feel. I used the existing back stiffener and the OEM screws but the screws supplied could have been used as they were the same thread. Hopefully the new one won't break anytime soon.

Cons: None really

Other Thoughts: This was a 5 minute job and the Newegg free saver shipping was very fast (UPS to my city and then USPS to my home)

5 out of 5 eggsPerfect Fix for AM3

Pros: Came into the office Monday to an overheating CPU due to ASUS OEM retention bracket fail. Had to use an old K8 fan w/ double clips till this got here. 5 minute fix. Seems much sturdier than the original.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Never had an ASUS retention clip fail before. Lucky my processor didn't fry. Pretty unhappy with ASUS quality on the original.

5 out of 5 eggsExactly what I needed

Pros: Works perfectly; comes with a backplate.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I threw away my motherboard's (Asus M4A785-M) original AM2/AM3 retention bracket when I upgraded my heatsink and fan to CM Hyper 212 Plus for my 965 BE last year. I'm turning my desktop into a low power HTPC, and needed a new retention bracket to downgrade processor and heatsink.
