looking for a processor socket base

marktsang

hi,
i have aquired a second hand mother board and processor (lucky me) the problem is that i cannot get a processor base stand to attach to the mother board to attach the heatsink and fan to - i have bought a fan (vortex dream) that comes with a base but it dont fit

the vortex dream says it fits a 478 board
above my cpu it says mpg478b ( it presses into the board with 4 arrow like heads and needs no screws) which i assume is the socket type - i regretfull assumed all 478 sockets were the same well now i know they are not - the problem is i cannot find anywehre to buy such an item (the base to attach the heatsink and fan to) i have looked online and in stores but no where seems to stock them

so the question is does anyone know where i can get one of these things or does anyone have an old one they would like to give to me --
thanks for your time
