The web site of the new cooler /heatsink you buy should tell you the mobos that are supported, they will provide you with the clips that you need in order to attach the block to your existing mobo.

As for your question ... you have a heatsink and a fan and all you want to replace is the clips? From what you said
That has nothing to do with the clips since the fan attaches to the heatsink. Now if you mean to replace the entire HSF assembly then the new HSF comes with clips
