    Pic related is the sink. impossible heatsink.JPG

    It's from an SLI model Toshiba X305. I've honestly tried everything to find it, and I'm at no avail.

    If someone could supply me with a link to one, that would be much appreciated! I've looked everywhere for it.

    eBay would be your best bet and if you can't find one there, then you are pretty much SOL, sry.

    There aren't any on ebay as far as I know. I've tried Aliexpress also, but nothing..

    If I knew the part number, that may help quite a bit. I'll have to stick around until someone with an x305 sli Qosmio comes around and kindly supplies me the number for such a heatsink.

    Look for a Toshiba X305 being sold for parts. Email Toshiba directly too.

    You might want to ask around for a Qosmio X305 service manual; parts' numbers should be listed there.

    That's actually not a bad idea. I'm building a x305 and so far I've got the dual-slot sli mainboard, and the sli card. I just need this heatsink to complete the brains of it.

    Okay, I've somehow found it through a German auction site For Toshiba VGA Thermal MODULE-2, NB9E K000061920 - Multimediaforum

    Part number is k000061920. I found one on EMPR which is an Australian Toshiba retailer. Thankfully they have them in stock.

    I hope this helps people in the future who are planning on re/building an x305. Thanks for all the help everyone.
