Where can I find a CPU retention bracket for socket 754?

[Andrewm]

Well, my sister's motherboard bracket snapped and I need to get a new retention bracket for socket 754 (Old AMD mobo/CPU)

I can't find a single place in Canada that sells them. Not even online. It's like a 3 dollar piece of plastic. The closest thing I've seen is this and they are all sold out:

I've tried every single store and small computer shop in the College and Spadina area in Toronto. No one really wants to sell me a small piece of plastic they don't make much money off of. I don't know anyone with socket 754 motherboards, besides buying a new motherboard or entirely new heatsink, does anyone know where I can get one? Online or in person in Toronto, 100%?

Would be appreciated greatly.

I would get this ... https://www.cty.ca/ProductDetails.asp?pid=3023

$11 AR will solve your problem and most likely improve the cooling ...

If you have the time and energy, you can try any of the city's waste depots where they have a bin for old computer equipment. The trick will be to find the socket 754 PC in the pile.
