They are called push pin clips and are sold as part of the CPU coolers so I'm not sure if you will be able to get them separately. If your cooler is an expensive one then your best bet would be to buy the default cooler for your CPU second hand and remove one from it. AFAIK they have been the default type on Intel coolers for the last few years.
