The SpinQ ships with a full featured accessory package, including brackets, manual, and even a tube of thermal paste. It emulates the mounting mechanism of the stock Intel cooler, using plastic push pins to mount the heatsink. While we prefer the torsional strength of using screws, the push pin design is great for those completing frequent installs, as it is both easy to install and take off without requiring a motherboard removal.
